Property description

Occupying an enviable position in the picturesque village of Whiteparish and benefiting from stunning open aspect countryside views, this wonderful house would make the perfect ‘forever family home’. The versatile accommodation is arranged over two floors with numerous windows creating a light and airy ambience throughout. The ground floor consists of a triple aspect sitting room with an open stone surrounding fireplace and double doors leading out to the patio and gardens beyond. There is a separate kitchen and formal dining room and the sizeable family room also benefits from double doors out to the gardens. Making up the remainder of the ground floor accommodation is a welcoming porch and entrance hall, and a downstairs cloakroom. There are four sizeable double bedrooms and one single bedroom/study on the first floor. The master bedroom is worthy of mention with its awe-inspiring views across the surrounding countryside, it also benefits from walk in dressing rooms and a lovely en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are serviced by a well appointed family bathroom and there is additional storage on the landing.

This deceptively spacious family home occupies a wonderful position and still offers ample scope for further improvement. Internal inspection is strongly recommended.

Situation
Whiteparish itself is an active and thriving village, and its location midway between Salisbury, Romsey and Southampton make it one of the most sought after villages on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border. The village has a popular Primary school, a shop, Post Office, surgery with dispensing pharmacy and three pubs (The Fountain, The Parish Lantern and The King's Head). Proximity to Salisbury and Romsey mean more amenities and services are close at hand. Sitting on the northern edge of the New Forest, Whiteparish is surrounded by attractive countryside and the exceptional network of footpaths and bridle ways provide for excellent walking, riding and cycling. There are golf and tennis clubs in the area, racing nearby at Salisbury and Goodwood and the coast is under an hour to the south.   

The area is well known for its excellent selection of schools at all levels. Whiteparish is within the catchment area for the Grammar schools in Salisbury and the Private schools nearby which includes Norman Court, Farleigh and Twyford Prep-schools, and the Winchester schools, Hampshire Collegiate School, as well as Godolphin, Chafyn Grove and The Cathedral school in Salisbury itself. Communication links are also excellent with good road access to Salisbury and Romsey. Whiteparish itself has a regular hourly bus service to Salisbury and Southampton, supported by a range of specialist school buses in the weekday, term time mornings and evenings. Easy access on to the A36 brings Southampton and the other business centres along the M27/M3 corridors within easy reach and Salisbury and Winchester all have fast regular trains to London/Waterloo.

Outside
The property is accessed via a stone driveway leading to the attached double garage with electric up and over doors and providing access to the utilities area and separate boiler room. To the front of the property is a pretty area of lawn enclosed by mature hedging and planted with pretty floral shrubs. The gardens lay mainly to the rear of the property and are also enclosed by mature hedges to offer a degree of privacy and seclusion. The current owners have taken a lot of care to maintain the beauty of the garden and have landscaped it with colourful flora, shrubs and over 50 varieties of roses, to the bottom left is a greenhouse enclosed by fencing with a productive vegetable patch. Adjacent to the living room is a patioed area perfect for al-fresco entertaining whilst enjoying views across the glorious neighbouring countryside.
