Nestled in the delightful hamlet of Ower, on the fringes of Wellow. Belvedere is a truly beautiful family home that offers a seamless blend of timeless elegance and contemporary refinement.

Originally constructed circa 1938, this home has been thoughtfully refurbished by its current custodians, preserving its charm while enhancing it with the comforts of modern living. Occupying a plot of approximately 0.55 acres, the property enjoys a sense of privacy and seclusion in an idyllic location.

The grounds boast maintained gardens with a charming rose garden, mature borders, and lawns, complemented by views across the countryside. A series of high-quality detached outbuildings further enhance this home, including a gymnasium and additional versatile spaces-each benefitting from power, lighting, CCTV, alarms, and facilities such as WCs and sinks - the perfect solution for a range of lifestyle or professional pursuits.

Belvedere represents a rare opportunity to acquire a country home of outstanding quality, set in one of Hampshire's most sought-after rural locations. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the opportunities this family home has to offer.

Reception & Kitchen

Upon entering Belvedere through its entrance hall, guests are struck by the charm and attention to detail that flows throughout this home. Oak flooring spans the entire ground floor, setting a warm and welcoming tone, while a discreet under-stairs cupboard provides practical storage.

To the right, the principal family lounge enjoys an abundance of natural light via a broad bay window, offering views across the front garden. A feature fireplace forms the centrepiece of the room, with bespoke solid oak book shelves, creating a cosy and inviting space for family gatherings. Directly opposite, a second reception room mirrors the proportions of the lounge. Currently arranged as a formal dining room, this space also features a bay window to the front, a classic fireplace, and a graceful atmosphere perfect for entertaining.

Double doors lead seamlessly from the dining room into the heart of the home-a beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and breakfast room. This space is as functional as it is stylish, with bespoke fitted country-style units, a Belfast sink, a central island, and a premium Nexus Rangemaster. A built-in speaker system adds a modern touch, while generous integrated storage lines the main wall. Large sliding French doors frame views of the rear garden and flood the space with natural light, effortlessly connecting the interior with the expansive patio terrace, an idyllic setting for al fresco dining and tranquil summer evenings.

Adjoining the kitchen is a beautifully executed contemporary day room, that exudes light and openness, this space is ideal for both relaxed family living and entertaining.
Practicality is equally well considered. A separate utility room-with recently installed boiler (fitted three years ago and serviced annually) plus a cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodations.


First Floor Accommodation

Ascending to the first floor, Belvedere continues to impress with its beautifully arranged and light-filled accommodation. The principal suite, an elegant and spacious bedroom, features built-in storage and large glazed doors that open onto an oak-framed balcony. From here, one can enjoy views across the rear garden, which is a haven for wildlife.

Three further double bedrooms are offered, each generously proportioned and flooded with light, thanks to the abundance of large windows that characterise this charming residence.

One of the bedrooms benefits from a stylish, contemporary en-suite shower room, ideal for guests or growing families.

Completing the first floor is a superbly sized family bathroom, offering a bath and refined finishes, providing both practicality and indulgence in equal measure.

Offices & Grounds

The grounds of Belvedere offer a true sense of rural tranquillity and privacy, thoughtfully landscaped to complement the home's timeless New Forest setting. A generous paved terrace extends from the rear of the property, creating a harmonious indoor-outdoor flow-perfect for relaxed summer evenings and alfresco entertaining. Lawns are framed by mature trees, manicured shrubs, and seasonal borders, all of which overlook paddocks and countryside, delivering a picturesque and serene backdrop.

At the far end of the garden sits a charming summer house, ideally positioned to take full advantage of the expansive views. Whether used for quiet reflection or entertaining.

A large private driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles, while a modern garage with an electric door ensures convenience and security.

Discreetly positioned within easy reach of the main residence are a series of thoughtfully constructed detached outbuildings, perfectly suited for home offices, creative studios, or business use.

Each is fully equipped with electricity, lighting, CCTV, and alarm systems, ensuring privacy, comfort, and peace of mind. Among them, The Pottery stands out-an enchanting, versatile space that opens onto a secluded rose garden, beautifully arranged with outdoor furniture. This idyllic setting is ideal for alfresco dining or entertaining and may also present an opportunity for income generation, subject to the necessary consents, as a holiday let or AirBnB.

Further enhancing the appeal are a log cabin-currently enjoyed as a delightful playroom-and a brick-built gymnasium. Both benefit from WC and sink facilities, and like all ancillary buildings on the property, are comprehensively serviced with power, lighting, CCTV, and security systems.

Altogether, the grounds and outbuildings at Belvedere offer a rare and enviable blend of lifestyle, flexibility, and natural beauty.
