Abbotstone House, a fine detached period home with Grade II Listed status, was built in the late 16th century. It still displays many of its original features, including exposed timber beams, grand fireplaces and rich wood panelling.
The main reception room is the 30ft drawing room with its tall sash windows and inglenook fireplace with its original timber lintel. The ground floor also has a family room or dining room, again with a splendid fireplace, and a study which is ideal for private home working. The generous kitchen has plenty of storage in fitted units, a central island and an Aga, while the breakfast area welcomes plenty of natural light from its skylights and panoramic windows taking in views across the garden. There is also a scullery and an original vaulted wine cellar, providing useful additional storage space.
Two staircases lead to separate first-floor accommodation, which includes five well-presented double bedrooms. Two of the first floor bedrooms boast Elizabethan wood panelling, the third has a walk-in dressing room and another has an ensuite bathroom with large bath and shower. The family bathroom is on the first floor, while the second floor has the principal bedroom with its en suite shower room, and access to substantial loft storage.
There is a superb barn annexe, built in 2017 at a cost of £650,000. This provides a kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor with a 27ft open plan sitting room and bedroom with ensuite bathroom on the first floor. This provides superb ancillary accommodation either for staff or a dependent relative. This could also provide a separate income stream.<br /><br />At the entrance to the property, gates open onto the gravel driveway, leading through the grounds to the house, parking and outbuildings. The beautiful garden faces south at the front and includes well-maintained lawns, paved terracing and pathways, various mature trees and colourful border beds. There is also a heated swimming pool with its own paved sun terrace and hot tub. Outbuildings include a garden room with a tool shed, a summer house and a granary, providing space in which to relax and enjoy the gardens, as well as store garden equipment.<br /><br />The property is set in the village of Whiteparish, surrounded by the stunning countryside of the New Forest, between Salisbury and Southampton. Whiteparish has several everyday amenities, including two village pubs, a busy village shop and post office, a doctors’ surgery and primary school with further primary schools in nearby villages and excellent grammar and secondary schools in Salisbury and Romsey. Local shopping can be found in Romsey which provides a Waitrose and a good selection of local shops. Seven miles to the northwest, the Cathedral City of Salisbury provides further amenities, including an excellent choice of shops, supermarkets and leisure facilities. The area is well connected, with the M27 just eight miles away providing links to both Southampton Airport and Southampton Airport Parkway Station which provides regular trains to London Waterloo in approximately 70 minutes, while Salisbury’s mainline station provides direct services to London Waterloo, taking approximately 90 minutes.
