A unique, historic house with equestrian facilities in a village setting close to Winchester.
Originally part of Northbrook Farm, The Tower House was built in 1897 in Queen Victoria's Jubilee year. The property is configured around a south-facing courtyard with views over the surrounding paddocks and farmland. Currently laid out to include an annexe, the accommodation is thoughtfully designed with plenty of spacious rooms. From the welcoming entrance hall, double doors lead to the drawing room which has sliding glazed doors to the terrace and garden. A second set of double doors leads to the open-plan heart of the home consisting of a dining/family room with adjoining kitchen/breakfast room enjoying a stunning open fireplace and three sets of sliding doors to the terrace. To the east end of the house is the self-contained annexe (with its own front door) consisting of two reception areas, double bedroom, bath/shower room and kitchenette. The third side of the courtyard building is made up of the indoor swimming pool with four sets of sliding glazed doors to the courtyard. The remainder of the ground floor is made up of a boot room, utility room and cloakroom as well as access to a first floor study/playroom. An elegant staircase leads to the first floor landing and bedrooms. The principal bedroom has plenty of fitted wardrobes and an en suite bath/shower room. There are four further double bedrooms (one on the second floor) and a family bath/shower room.Adjacent to the main house is a Dutch Barn outbuilding with three stables, a tack room, workshop and open bay garaging. On the first floor is a studio apartment with incredible far-reaching views over the countryside from the terrace. It is made up of a large bedroom/reception room, shower room and kitchen. There is also a hayloft and substantial storage space on this first floor.The property is approached from Larkwhistle Farm Road and has plenty of space for parking. The drive continues alongside the house to the outbuilding and paddocks. There is a fenced enclosure and tennis court as well as field shelters. In all the plot extends to about 2.54 acres. The current owners rent some neighbouring land which may be available under similar terms to a buyer.
