A rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home of both architectural significance and modern-day comfort, offering exquisite living in an enviable Hampshire village setting.

Description

North House is an exceptional Grade II listed Georgian home located on the highly sought-after St. Peters Street in the heart of Bishops Waltham. Deceptive from the front, this remarkable property opens up into a substantial and beautifully reimagined home, offering thoughtfully designed and meticulously maintained accommodation throughout. The house has been sympathetically restored and extended by the current owners to create a seamless blend of period charm and contemporary living.

From the moment you step inside, the high specification and attention to detail are apparent. Original period features such as sash windows, fireplaces, and elegant joinery sit effortlessly alongside modern finishes and bespoke design elements. A striking Chinese Chippendale staircase forms a central architectural highlight, setting the tone for the refinement found throughout the property. The accommodation in the main house is generously proportioned and flows beautifully, with a range of refined reception rooms, including a formal drawing room, study, living room, and a family/dining room, all centred around a welcoming entrance hall. The kitchen is both sophisticated and practical, complemented by a boot room and utility area, creating a family-friendly living environment. The formal drawing room is fitted with bespoke wine cabinetry, wall crafted by Spiral Cellars, housing two Euro Cave wine fridges, further elevating the space for relaxed entertaining.

Upstairs, the bedroom accommodation is spread over two floors and includes five spacious double bedrooms. The principal suite is particularly impressive, offering a large bedroom, luxurious en suite, and dressing room. Each bedroom is well appointed, with an abundance of natural light, and many with views over a series of thoughtfully designed features.

The generous gardens have been landscaped to offer a series of distinct zones, from formal lawns to private seating areas and entertaining terraces. A swimming pool sits at the heart of the garden, creating a peaceful and private retreat.

In addition to the main house, there are two converted coach houses with separate access off Lower Lane. One has been transformed into a stylish one-bedroom cottage, ideal for guests or multi-generational living, while the other has been converted into a fully equipped gym. The detached double garage offers further versatility, currently fitted with bike storage and featuring an excellent office space above, perfect for working from home or use as a creative studio.

North House is a unique and extraordinary property offering a landmark period home that has been carefully brought into the 21st century. The result is a highly versatile, elegant residence that retains its historic charm while providing the comfort, practicality, and refinement expected of a modern family home. Quietly tucked away yet moments from the village centre, this is a truly special property with a wonderful sense of space, privacy, and quality that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
