DESCRIPTION
A substantial family house designed by the renowned architect Robert Adam, and influenced by his clients for whom the house was built and finished in about 2002. The family selected this plot and position on the edge of Stockbridge because of the beautiful open aspect that is enjoyed to the south west over rolling Hampshire farmland and countryside as well as the close proximity of Stockbridge High Street. The house has an asymmetrical Arts and Crafts style with a particular focus on the use of local materials, Michelmersh brick, Hampshire flint, hand-finished tiles, local oak and Purbeck limestone. The new house joins a Victorian brick grain store that was retained originally as a large artist’s studio but which more recently has been converted into a self-contained wing/guest accommodation. The extremely spacious and beautifully appointed accommodation offers flexible family space and is excellent for entertaining. All the first floor bedrooms have recently been updated, each with its own en suite bath/shower room, some with interesting themes including a Turkish plunge pool/wet room and a Japanese inspired soak tub/shower.
The gardens and grounds extend to about 8.7 acres. Surrounding the house is a large garden, the rear having a southerly aspect where there is a ha-ha, croquet lawn and wonderful distant views. The property is approached via a long driveway and there is plenty of parking. Planning permission that is understood to be extant, was granted to further extend the main property creating a three bedroom self-contained element as well as building a detached garage block and detached pool house with changing rooms, shower and sauna. Lying to the front of the house an enclosed paddock area of about 2.5 acres and a belt of deciduous trees of about 2.6 acres with woodland walk.
LOCATION
The property is situated on the outskirts of Stockbridge which offers a broad variety of independent shops, a Post Office, hotels and bars, tea rooms/restaurants, churches, a doctors’ surgery and primary and secondary schools. The Common provides walks next to the River Test, The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester and the abbey town of Romsey are all within a twenty minute drive, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country. There are also mainline railway stations in Winchester and Andover (both about fifteen minutes’ drive away) as well as Grateley (about ten minutes’ drive) with fast trains to Waterloo.
SCHOOLING AND RECREATION There is excellent schooling (private and state) in the area in addition to the primary school in Amport. Stockbridge has primary and secondary schools; Kings and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College are located in Winchester and there are Grammar Schools in Salisbury. Farleigh Preparatory School is within a short drive; other local public schools include Winchester College and St Swithun’s in Winchester, Godolphin, Chafyn Grove and the Cathedral School in Salisbury. There is excellent fishing on the River Test and a golf course in Leckford as well as two in Andover.
