Requiring refurbishment, Abbots Worthy House is an impressive country house which deserves a return to its former glory. Set within gardens and grounds extending to more than eleven acres, this is a superb opportunity to acquire a landmark home with extensive accommodation in a wonderful and highly convenient location about three miles from Winchester.

Abbots Worthy House would make a fine, impressive family house; it is not listed but does require substantial refurbishment works.

The style of the house is deceiving but is basically Victorian in origin with a gothic wing. However, the house was remodelled in the Georgian style in the 1950s.

The principal reception rooms and bedrooms are large and light with high ceilings mainly facing south over the extensive grounds. The drawing room and principal bedroom have the addition of wonderful bow windows, which enhance the scale of these important rooms.

The space in the kitchen/ breakfast room is just what modern families are looking for with areas for cooking, eating and socialising.

Also leading off the impressive stone floored reception hall is a formal dining room, sitting room, billiards room, playroom and additional reception room with all manner of ancillary rooms, stores, cloakroom, lobby areas and three staircases rising to the first floor.

Arranged over the first floor are eight substantial rooms with four bathrooms and an additional two bedrooms in the attic.

Abbots Worthy House is currently accessed through an opening in the high boundary wall and planning has been granted for a new entrance which would provide for a long driveway to the front of the house.

It is easy to imagine the formal gardens restored to fit with a refurbished glorious house.

Offered for sale by informal tender by midday on Thursday 3 December, a guide price of £2,000,000 is suggested by Knight Frank who will be happy to provide further details on request. Contact the Winchester branch on 01962 850333.…

For those seeking a home in a tranquil location Yew Tree Farm at Soberton in the Meon Valley fulfils the brief. Approached over a winding driveway the house sits well in its large garden with beautiful views, an abundance of wild life and lovely walks nearby.

The vendors have created a superb family home with wonderful living space and large bedrooms. The house is spacious and light with excellent circulation areas and double doors throughout the house suggest an easy flow from room to room and also allow access to the garden from the dining room, garden room and drawing room. Leading off the reception hall there is also a fitted study and the kitchen is amazing with twin pairs of doors from the hall and beautifully fitted with an extensive range of cabinets and appliances, leaving ample space for relaxed dining and sitting space in addition to a central island with a breakfast bar.

Five excellent double bedrooms are arranged off the first floor landing, accessed via a feature staircase, and there are two large bathrooms, one part of the master suite along with a fitted dressing room. A floor to ceiling window in the master bedroom allows a fabulous view of the sunrise.

The gardens wrap around the house creating a haven and within the mainly lawned, gently sloping site there are various seating areas created to maximise on far reaching views and to enjoy the sunshine. Outbuildings include a double carport and almost a thousand square feet of workshop.

Soberton is a pretty hamlet, part of the South Downs National Park and tucked away in the Meon Valley with a charming pub and Norman Church. Bishop’s Waltham and Wickham provide good local amenities and Winchester and Petersfield are both about twenty minutes’ drive away with mainline train stations providing direct links to London.

A price of £1,500,000 is quoted for Yew Tree Farm. Contact Charters in Alresford for more details on 01962 734633…

Of four stunning new homes at a prime Winchester address, just one remains available for sale. Alfred Homes’ latest project, Oliver Mews, on Christchurch Road combines all the elegance of classical architecture with beautiful internal living space where the accent is firmly on quality fittings and luxurious circulation space.

Situated on this quiet road, it is the largest townhouse on the southern end which is available with the middle, the other end of terrace house and the coach house at the rear already reserved off plan.

Beautiful features include a spacious open plan kitchen, with dining and sitting space naturally lit by a roof lantern and visually separated from the work space by way of an island. Bi-folding doors open to the westerly garden which is to be beautifully landscaped, together with a further area on the southern flank. Deep skirtings throughout the house are complemented by bold architraves and cornicing, now instantly recognisable as an Alfred Homes feature for those familiar with this highly successful local brand, together with chalky tones for the interior decoration.

On the ground floor double doors open from the reception hall to a spacious room ideal as a formal dining space or sitting room with a magnificent arched window to the front elevation and there is also a study.

A utility room and guest cloakroom complete the layout with a feature staircase rising through the house where circulation space continues to impress with wonderful landings on the first and second floors.

The first floor drawing room has an elegant fireplace and a large bedroom suite on this floor is ideal as a master or guest suite.

The top floor is arranged with two exceptional bedroom suites, ideal for families or downsizers looking for larger rooms with all rooms having potential as the master suite depending on aspect preference.

Each townhouse has a double garage to the rear and this final house available has a substantially wider garden.

Jane Kennerley of Savills New Homes commented: “All expectations have been exceeded at Oliver Mews as the build programme draws to a close and the space, light and luxurious specification are revealed. These are beautiful homes in a prime location within Winchester and have proved highly appealing to purchasers looking for the perfect blend of classical styling with modern efficiency.”

Savills will be pleased to provide further details on request and a guide price of £1,650,000 is quoted. Call Jane on 01962 834045 for more information and to arrange a site visit. Completion of these homes is expected by the end of the year.…

Buyers who seek the wow factor in a rural property, yet don’t want to live too far off the beaten track, have the answer to their prayers in a property just outside Wickham.

Crockerhill Chapel is set beside a rural lane that few people have probably ever travelled and was such an outstanding project when it was completed 21 years ago that it was named best refurbishment in the 1194 Daily Telegraph Individual Homes Award.

Nothing that has happened in the intervening years has done anything to tarnish those winning ways – in fact Colin Shairp of Fine and Country Southern Hampshire believes the chapel has now pleasingly matured within its setting.

“The Victorian chapel, which became a mission school, is Grade II-listed but the conversion very cleverly added a northern wing to match the original building,” says Colin.

“The transformation was painstaking but the result is a spectacular home in a wonderful setting that has far-reaching views to the south east beyond the boundaries of the 0.7 acre garden.

“Natural sunlight has been used to good effect throughout. Large windows and a spiral staircase set under dome lighting are two of the features, along with an open living room with a vaulted ceiling.

“The chapel offered the opportunity to exploit different levels so mezzanine flooring has been employed to good effect with the result that the house now offers great space within its rooms.

“Altogether there are three bedrooms, one on the ground floor close to the utility / cloakroom. There are two first floor bedrooms to either side of a landing with a door to the bathroom, a true loo with a view as even this enjoys a spectacular outlook.

“The spiral staircase continues via and interesting left and right set of steps to a rooftop viewing area.

“The kitchen has a Mediterranean feel with its painted exposed brickwork and archway leading to the dining area. The house has ready access to its 210 foot garden with decking and seating areas while to one side is a garage partly built under the newer section of the property.

“The A32 is at the bottom of the lane and the M27 barely a mile away yet the house feels as if it is miles from anywhere.”

Guide price is £850,000. For more information, contact Fine and Country Southern Hampshire on 023 93 277 277 or email drayton@fineandcountry.com…
