Southover House, a notable property with roots tracing back to 1863 and an impressive east wing added in 1926, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. The main part of the house retains significant original features, including its striking stone façade, lofty ceilings, and generous south-facing rooms that are bathed in natural light. Inside, the residence boasts elegant architectural details such as a grand stone staircase, flagstone and parquet flooring, and multiple fireplaces that add character. The layout consists of several spacious reception rooms including a gracious drawing room and family room, alongside a welcoming dining room enriched with oak paneling. The kitchen/breakfast area connects seamlessly to the living space while a basement games room offers additional potential.
With six double bedrooms on the first floor—each offering views over the expansive grounds—and a principal suite complete with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom, this property is designed for comfortable family living. However, the building could benefit from modern updates to enhance its functionality while preserving its historic charm.
The surrounding parkland encompasses approximately 7.04 acres of landscaped gardens, mature trees for privacy, and even a screened swimming pool requiring refurbishment. A picturesque drive leads up to the house creating an inviting first impression. Given its location near charming villages and amenities, as well as access to outdoor activities and schools, this property not only promises tranquility but also considerable potential as an investment or family home that can be personalized through thoughtful renovations.
