Owners’ Comments 
“We have been so fortunate to be able to design and extend Brandon Lodge into our ideal family home. It has been a labour of love combining both contemporary style with low maintenance spacious living.”

 “The location of our home is perfect. A beautifully private rural setting with walks from our doorstep to the New Forest, yet in close proximity of easy commuter links to Salisbury, Romsey and the M27 links to Southampton, the coast and the M3.”

Introduction 
Truly individual in its design, this unique home has been the subject of the most painstaking and loving renovation and extension by our clients to provide a beautifully bright and contemporary living space. Commissioned in 2008, the improvements are comprehensive, including extensions, replumbing, rewiring, and impressive Ebony timber board frontage, sympathetic to the property’s rural surroundings. Stylish in design, this five bedroom substantial home extends to approximately 3000 sq.feet with well proportioned room dimensions all benefit from exceptional light via a wealth of picture windows which only contribute to the bright and spacious feel. The property has been designed with a host of attractive features including a stylish open plan kitchen breakfast room with granite worktops and walnut effect units, wood burning stove in the sitting room and an exceptional versatile games room on the first floor. The master and guest suites are equally impressive, both with private balconies and exquisite ensuite facilities. The extensive rear gardens have been landscaped to facilitate easy maintenance with sculpted shrub borders, a large lawn, all screened by mature evergreen hedgerow and offer a high degree of privacy. Whilst enjoying a secluded position, the villages of Landford and Whiteparish are conveniently located just a short car journey from the property, both benefitting from high achieving primary schools, village shops and benefitting from being within catchment of well regarded Salisbury Grammar Schools access via the nearby A36 and ideal commuting to M27 and Southampton.
