Kiln Lane, Brambridge, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SO50

A simply stunning home situated on the banks of the River Itchen, with delightful gardens running down to the riverbank. The property is entered via a door to the boot room, which leads onto the kitchen and dining room. The kitchen is well equipped, with a range of solid wood units, butler sink, breakfast bar, vaulted ceiling and a range cooker within an exposed brick chimney breast. The kitchen is linked to the dining area by a breakfast bar which extends across the majority of the length of the kitchen. The kitchen and dining room combined create an excellent entertaining space. The dining room is a particularly light and pleasant room, being an extension to the original house, with ample space for a large dining table and sliding doors opening out onto a fabulous veranda. The adjoining sitting room has a sliding patio door onto the garden, a beamed ceiling and a feature fireplace. A study area is separated from the kitchen but still viewable via a glass “fish tank” wall feature. The study is equipped with a range of bespoke fitted office furniture. There is also a useful utility room off the kitchen. There are three generous bedrooms, all of which have fitted wardrobes, and the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with bath and shower. The other two bedrooms are served by a family bathroom.

Outside
Externally, the gardens are a particular feature of the property, having been meticulously maintained (constructed with rot-proof composite) and designed by the current owners. To the rear of the dining room the bifold doors open onto a covered veranda which is an excellent space for alfresco entertaining. A raised decking area descends to the main lawn, which is interspersed with beds, borders and further seating areas. The lawn culminates at the river bank, which frames the view across the crystal-clear waters of the River Itchen, famed as one of the best examples of a chalk stream environment, and a haven for native wildlife. The property benefits from fishing rights along the bank. In addition to the above, a driveway provides parking for several cars, along with a double garage (with twin electric doors), workshop, tool shed, greenhouse and a productive vegetable garden.

Location
Brambridge House is a Grade II* listed, stucco fronted, country house, circa 1762 incorporating an earlier building. Situated amid riverside parkland, a myriad of facilities are close at hand. The setting combines a tranquil oasis with easy access to the M3/M27 motorways, fast rail links to London Waterloo and Southampton Airport. There are a number of well-regarded schools locally. The Cathedral City of Winchester offers an extensive selection of bespoke and mainstream shopping, leisure and entertainment facilities.
