Georgian house with indoor pool and south facing gardens

Here at Wintershill at Durley a fabulous refurbished Georgian house has become available on the rental market. With spacious and well presented accommodation the house has a wonderful setting in south facing gardens which are maintained by a gardener to be included in the rent.

From the main house a glazed hallway links through to ancillary rooms including a boot room, utility and wine cellar and also links through to the double garage on one side and an inner hall on the other which opens to the indoor pool with changing rooms and a cloakroom on the far side. Glazed doors along one side of the pool room open to the gardens adding to the appeal of this superb amenity.

There are four formal reception rooms at this house which, together with the kitchen/breakfast room create a degree of versatility and there is also a utility room, cloakroom and walk-in pantry on the ground floor.

Two of the five bedrooms on the first floor have their own bath or shower room and there is a large family bathroom and good storage.

The gardens adjoin farmland and paddocks and altogether this property offers charm and space in keeping with its Georgian heritage.

The village of Durley lies between Winchester and Southampton, close to the town of Bishops Waltham, and therefore has excellent access to the M3 and M27 giving access to the South Coast, the South West, London and Southampton International Airport.

The Country House Company says that this lovely Georgian home becomes available in September for a monthly rent of £3,950 and that the landlord will also consider allowing a well behaved pet at the property. Contact The Country House Company on 023 9263 2275.…
