Description
Stanbridge House offers a truly rare opportunity to purchase a substantial detached country house. The property dates back to the 1920’s and its clean white elevations offer a nod to the art deco fashions of that period. The property is a home of two halves, the main house and annexe. The main house, as you would expect has excellent proportions, not only in the principal reception rooms but throughout. All the rooms have large windows flooding the house with natural light and offering views out over the glorious gardens. This home has some unique architectural features such as the conical ceiling in the kitchen/breakfast room which adds a touch of drama. Upstairs like on the ground floor the proportions are great, flooded with natural light and with those wonderful views. With five bedrooms and three bathrooms it has the space and facilities for modern family living.

The Annexe
So often the annexe is considered the poor relation to the main house but in this case, although smaller it certainly won’t disappoint. Arranged over two floors, the ground floor has an open plan kitchen/living room, a further room that depending on needs could be a third bedroom or further reception room. There are two double bedrooms upstairs and bathrooms on both the ground and first floors.

The Grounds
The extensive grounds surround the house and extend to 7.61 acres. The formal gardens are a riot of rhododendrons and mature trees with extensive lawns to both the front and rear of the house. Beyond the rear gardens is a paddock which is approximately 4 acres and is perfect for grazing and is studded with mature conifers providing interest and shade. The paddock is complimented by a barn and further outbuilding. In addition, there is also a tennis court that needs attention, an internal courtyard between the main house and annexe, a double garage and a gated driveway.

Positioned between the village of Awbridge, and the small hamlet of Shootash, approximately 3 ½ miles to the north-west of Romsey and is conveniently placed for access to all major parts. Romsey itself provides shops for everyday needs, leisure facilities, theatre, and schools for all ages both state and private. Access to the motorway network at junction 2 and 3 can be reached within about a 10 minute drive and the major centres of Bournemouth, Salisbury, Winchester and Portsmouth are within easy commuting distance. Southampton Parkway mainline railway station can also be reached within about 20 minutes for fast trains to London (Waterloo).
