accommodation on the ground floor briefly comprises an inviting entrance hall, two large reception rooms with open fireplaces, a large dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and smaller dining room, snug, office, utility room, boiler room and cellar. there is then an inner courtyard from which there is access to a log store, pump room and two further useful storerooms. the first floor provides a master bedroom and an additional bedroom, both of which are en-suite. there is then another double bedroom with a shower room and two further double bedrooms with a separate family bathroom. on the second floor there is then a large room that the current vendors use as a music room, with three further rooms and a large loft room (formally the servants quarters), which could be converted into additional accommodation or provide useful storage space.

outside

outside, the property is approached over a sweeping gravelled drive leading to the manicured formal gardens with the driveway providing off road parking for numerous vehicles. the grounds are a particular feature of the property, that lead down and front the river hamble.

vendor’s comment: “i remember jumping off the riverbank and learning to swim in the river at the end of the garden”

the lawns are intercepted by gravel pathways and planted with a wide variety of attractive flowers, trees and faunae. there are also many mature specimen shrubs, with views over the pasture and vineyard. the grounds meander further to reveal two large mature ponds. there is then a 36ft swimming pool with sun terrace, adjoining a 36ft pool room with changing rooms and cloakrooms, ideal for entertaining.

the main property also comes with a 90ft x 39 ft marquee, which could have a number of uses.
