Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY Purbrook Lodge has been the site of a country home since the 1800s. The current owners acquired the land on Purbrook Heath, some 25 years ago, with a very run down property on it, from The Southwick Estate. The setting, adjacent to water meadows and surrounded by magnificent mature trees and shrubs, offered them the opportunity to create their own unique family home. Being Architects, they cleverly sited the house, which was designed in an L-shape, to take full advantage of sunlight into the main rooms and the surrounding views. For those to whom privacy is paramount, the house is almost unseen from the road and there are no other dwellings to be seen from the property itself. Family life was a key feature in the design process, and so the central hub of the house is the kitchen area where to one side of the cooking and family dining single part glazed door gives access to the family room, with its large double aspect feature windows providing impressive views south across the gardens and west across the adjoining water meadows. To the other side, just off the breakfast area, is a spacious study where any member of the family could happily enjoy further pleasant views whilst carrying out their study/work tasks. The Drawing and Dining Rooms offer good space for entertaining visitors. Upstairs, the master bedroom suite has its own bathroom and adjoining dressing room with balcony over the charming gardens.

The first floor provides four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the second floor there are two further bedrooms and a box room which has been plumbed for a further bathroom if desired.



Although, we use the term 'The Cottage', the annexe accommodation is by no-means insignificant. Measuring just over 1,000 sq ft, it was constructed to the same high standard as the main house, with its own independent facilities. The ground floor has a spacious kitchen/dining room, bedroom and shower room. The first floor sitting room, with views to Portsdown Hill, currently has a large open-plan layout but it could easily accommodate two or three separate rooms, and has been wired for such, if so desired. Tucked away beyond the tennis court, the cottage does not impede on the main house at all. Residents of both properties can enjoy their privacy, whilst being close enough to offer the comfort of nearby relatives if required.



At the front of the property the gated and pilloried entrance leads to a raised turning circle at the front of the house, beyond which the driveway meanders through the gardens to the garage courtyard and further to the tennis court and cottage. The grounds are well tended and are presented in a number of individual gardens adjoining various parts of the house and presenting different elements of views and planting. The keen gardener has much to relish here with 1.65 acres with a very useful garden room (located in the main house garage).



In order to present Purbrook Lodge to the market in a standard they would be happy with, the vendors chose to have it redecorated throughout, all the carpeting replaced, new kitchen appliances, sink and worktops installed and the driveway re-shingled.



Both the main house and the cottage are of brick elevations under tiled roofs, have upvc double glazed windows and external doors, ivory panelled interior doors, security alarm systems, external lighting and thermostatically controlled radiators.



Situated within access to primary road networks, the South Coast major cities are not far away. The mainline stations at Havant and Portsmouth offer direct access to London Waterloo in about 1.5 hours. The village of Purbrook provides a number of local shops, whilst Cosham (2 miles) and Portsmouth (5 miles) offer more extensive shopping and entertainment facilities. Leisure pastimes, such as walking, riding, fishing and sailing can all be enjoyed nearby.



The neighbouring Southwick Estate, is privately owned, comprises approximately 7,000 acres with 17 farms and 164 dwellings.
