Blendworth Lane, Waterlooville, Hampshire

Forming one part of a substantial late Georgian mansion, Seymour House showcases distinctive flint architectural detail, with lofty, sash windows and wooden shutters indicative of the era and inside offers a blend of classic comfort and stylish design. On the ground floor, an elegant drawing room enjoys the warming ambience of a wood-burning stove, with an adjoining formal dining room providing the perfect setting to host family and friends. On the opposite side of the reception hall, an impressive kitchen/breakfast room features contemporary cabinetry in dark colour tone, topped with white stone work surfaces. A black Aga stove takes centre-stage in an arched recess with a rustic timber lintel and an island unit with breakfast bar creates a subtle divide within the room. Ancillary space is provided by a generous utility room.

On the first floor, the refined presentation continues with the upper level accommodation comprising four well-proportioned bedrooms, two with modern en suite facilities, and a luxurious family bathroom with vintage-inspired fittings including a roll-top free-standing tub.

A walled-garden at the frontage of the home is edged with an attractive collection of colourful and architectural mature shrubs and specimen trees, whilst a focal-point setting of brick pavers adjoins the pathway leading beneath a pillared entrance portal. An expanse of lawn is framed by rows of silver birch trees which make a striking feature at the side boundaries of the rear garden and at the far margin glimpses to the open countryside. Paved terracing with step level changes and planting pockets adjoins the back of the house offering opportunities for outdoor dining and relaxation. To the side, there is a length of high-level hedging creating a divide to the driveway parking which is approached via a timber five-bar gate and leads to the double garage.

Idyllically located on the southern fringes of the South Downs National Park, the property is within easy reach of Horndean village where amenities provide for day-to-day needs. Communication links are excellent with road users having access to the A3 for journeys northwards towards Guildford and the M25, and in a southerly direction to the A27/M27 for coastal destinations. Rail services are available at Rowlands Castle, a pretty, highly regarded village in South Hampshire, which also offers local shopping, public houses and a popular golf club, whilst the attractive market town of Petersfield provides a comprehensive selection of facilities along with a further railway station.
