The Straits, Kingsley, Hampshire

Greenwood House is an impressive detached country house, surrounded by the stunning countryside of Alice Holt Forest on the edge of the South Downs National Park. The property provides almost 6000 square feet of accommodation across the main house and attached annexe, with flexible and versatile rooms.

At the entrance to Greenwood House the hallway provides access to both the main residence and the annexe. There is a welcoming reception hall to the main house, with tiled flooring and a splendid oak staircase leading to the galleried first-floor landing above. There are five main reception rooms on the ground level, including the 27ft drawing room with its French doors to the front and rear and brick built fireplace fitted with a woodburning stove.

There is also a formal dining room with French doors opening to the gardens, a study or family room with a dual aspect and a large, airy games room with double doors leading to the sunny conservatory at the rear. Additionally on the ground floor, the large kitchen and breakfast room has shaker-style units, a central island, a range cooker and space for a breakfast table for informal dining.

The spacious galleried landing has skylights overhead, welcoming plenty of natural light, with doors leading to the three first-floor bedrooms. These include the 27ft, luxury principal bedroom with its dressing room and en suite bathroom. This large bedroom could potentially be split to create two bedrooms if required. The first floor also has a family bathroom, with both bathrooms featuring bathtubs and separate shower units.

The ground-floor annexe is ideal for family members or multi-generational living, or could be combined into the main house for a larger single residence. It includes a comfortable sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen, a family bathroom and two bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room.

At the front of the property, the gravel driveway provides plenty of parking space for both the house and annexe, while the quadruple garaging block provides further parking in a double garage and two carports. The wrap-around gardens provide extensive outside space in which to relax, with most of the gardens extends to the south and welcoming plenty of sunlight throughout the day. They include rolling lawns, patio areas for al fresco dining, ornamental gardens with herbaceous borders, a vegetable garden and a heated outdoor swimming pool with its own sun terrace.

At the end of the gardens, a gate opens onto a beautiful grassy meadow, which could be used for grazing livestock or equine training and exercise. The gardens and grounds extend to a total of approximately 3.62 acres.
