Redlynch, Salisbury, SP5

Perfectly positioned within this desirable New Forest village, Rollington House is an elegant and well-proportioned period home, offering a rare combination of historic character, modern comfort, and versatile accommodation. Surrounded by beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds, that extend to circa 15 acres, the property includes a range of outbuildings, a self-contained coach house apartment, and a heated outdoor pool, all accessed via a private gated driveway.

The main house is unlisted and arranged over two floors plus a traditional cellar. It retains a wealth of original features including high ceilings, original fireplaces, sash windows, and wood floors throughout much of the interior. The current owners have carried out a thoughtful and extensive programme of repair and sympathetic modernisation, resulting in a warm and inviting family home that also lends itself well to entertaining. The ground floor flows beautifully between formal and informal spaces, featuring a suite of beautifully appointed, classically proportioned reception rooms, including a drawing room, dining room, and sitting room—each with their own character. The heart of the home is a spacious family kitchen with bi-folding doors opening onto a newly landscaped courtyard, perfect for indoor-outdoor living. A practical scullery/utility room, boot room, and cloakroom complete the ground floor. Stairs lead down to a traditional cellar, offering further storage or wine-keeping potential. Upstairs, the main bedroom enjoys a lovely bay window and an en suite shower room. Four additional bedrooms are well-served by an en suite bathroom, a family bathroom, and a separate shower room.
