Sciviers Lane, Upham, Southampton, Hampshire, SO32

The property is a detached period farmhouse with painted rendered elevations under a slate roof and accommodation over two floors. The current owners have substantially modernised the property which is light-filled and has a lovely blend of characterful features and the practicalities of modern day living. The layout of the house can be seen in the floorplan but of particular note is the large kitchen/dining room with central island and adjoining garden room. There is a cosy sitting room to the front of the house with a double-sided woodburner shared with the study. From the spacious hall, stairs rise to the first floor landing, off which are four bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Outside, the house is approached through electric gates onto a gravel drive with ample parking. There are two detached barns, one of which is open-sided, the other having two sets of roller-blind doors, a mezzanine level above. There is an additional large detached outbuilding which was recently built to create a fabulous self-contained studio or annexe and would be ideal for spill-over accommodation or a home office. Additionally, there is a smaller brick-built outbuilding which has been partially renovated. The land surrounds the property largely to the north and west and is mainly laid to lawn with paddocks. In all, the property lies in approximately 7.33 acres.
