ABOUT THE PROPERTY:
The Red House is a charming period residence steeped in the rich history of the popular Hampshire village of Titchfield. Before becoming the comfortable, characterful home created by its current owners, this property has been the subject of various incarnations: it consisted of three separate cottages, was a public house and a post office with general store. Its origins are believed to date back to 1640, with the addition of the barn in approximately 1800. During their lengthy ownership our vendors have undertaken a number of improvements and in so doing have created a well-insulated, cosy home, whilst taking care to include characterful features; exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, sash windows.
The main house boasts in excess of 2500 sq ft, with a further 950 sq ft provided by the adjoining Coach House. The five bedrooms are of generous proportions and two of them have en-suite facilities. Bedroom four is serviced by a back staircase. The atmospheric drawing room features an imposing inglenook open fireplace. The family room with its attractive bay-fronted window overlooking the garden, sports a multi-fuel stove, has tongue-and-groove panelled walls with a fitted bookcase. The kitchen has a newly-fitted granite worktop with undermounted sink. A particularly delightful feature, is the large walk-in pantry: plenty of space for the lovely preserves produced by the members of the Country Market (held on Fridays). Also on the ground floor, there is a utility room and recently refurbished cloakroom.
OUTSIDE:-
To the left of the distinctive painted render façade are the handsome newly-installed iroko gates, providing access to the gravel driveway to the side of the property. The delightful courtyard, benefits from plentiful parking and a paved terrace area with view from the kitchen and family room. The adjoining barn is currently arranged to provide garaging, storage, a workshop and has an upper-floor office with en-suite shower room. However, subject to obtaining the relevant consents, the barn could be converted into a fabulous annexe, or potentially could provide a business opportunity in the form of a rental income stream.
The remainder of the walled garden has been delightfully landscaped to include a lawned area, with further seating areas and is framed by a tapestry of climbing plants, berry fruits, fruiting trees, various well-stocked mature shrub borders and specimen trees. A quintessential English country garden!
