This distinctive country residence, known as Woolbury, is set in a picturesque location reminiscent of ancient Iron Age fortifications. Constructed in 2004 by the Haddow Partnership, this expansive home spans nearly 6,100 sq ft across three levels, offering versatile family accommodation alongside formal entertaining spaces. The property also features an additional 3,450 sq ft of outbuildings, including a self-contained studio flat that presents excellent rental or guest accommodation potential.
Surrounded by professionally landscaped gardens and paddocks, this home provides a lifestyle setting conducive to family leisure and outdoor activities. A gravel driveway allows for ample parking space and leads to a detached double garage topped with the aforementioned studio annexe. The exterior showcases tiered formal gardens with mature hedging and vibrant borders, complemented by a large terrace area equipped for entertaining.
Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a striking oval reception hall featuring unique architectural elements such as a timber staircase with glass panels. The ground floor comprises several functional rooms: an office suitable for remote work, an elegant dining room fit for dinner parties, and a games room complete with an inviting fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is well-appointed with modern appliances and combines seamlessly with a conservatory boasting splendid views of the garden.
The upper floors include multiple spacious bedrooms; notably, the principal suite offers luxurious amenities such as a balcony and dressing room. Further enhancements such as vaulted ceilings and light-filled spaces add to the appeal.
Equestrian facilities are also readily available on-site with an American-style barn hosting six loose boxes and additional amenities like an all-weather manège and paddocks—all perfect for horse enthusiasts or those considering future livery business potential.
Situated within the sought-after Test Valley region and close to key transport links for easy access to towns such as Winchester and Salisbury as well as London’s major connections, Woolbury stands in proximity to local education options—from primary schools to prestigious independent institutions. Given its scope for refurbishment—such as adding solar panels (planning permission granted) or converting garden areas into recreational spaces—this property represents a promising investment opportunity.
