Winchester Road, Shedfield, Southampton, Hampshire, SO32

Offered with no onward chain, this imposing four bedroom wing of a substantial manor house is set over three storey's in impressive formal gardens of circa 1.2 acres and is presented to the market for the first time in over 70 years. Entirely screened from the road this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a character family home that requires some modernisation and the opportunity to individualise the accommodation to your taste, whether that be upgrading the existing sizeable rooms or reconfiguring the existing layout and potentially extending (subject to the relevant consents). Constructed in the mid 1840’s and converted some 100 years ago, the home is approached via a private treelined driveway via gated access which takes you through to the substantial parking area with garaging. The view of the house on approach is stunning and steps lead to the main entrance with the front door opening to the entrance hallway. The impressive 18’7 ft sitting room has large bay windows to the front and side elevation and a feature fireplace. The 16’3 ft dining room is also an excellent size into a bay window, with the kitchen adjoining, which in turn leads to the study and cloakroom. These rooms may form part of a reconfiguration to open up into a substantial kitchen/dining room if desired. On the first floor you will find the principal bedroom with double height ceilings, bedroom three and the bathroom, together with a separate W.C. The second floor offers two further well-proportioned bedrooms. Externally the gardens are incredibly private with a treelined aspect . The home enjoys access to the local villages of Botley, Wickham and Bishop's Waltham, all of which offer a range of day-to-day shopping, restaurants, bistro pubs, well regarded schooling and recreational facilities. This really is a wonderfully rare opportunity to acquire an imposing home with private gardens and make it your own.
