The Property
An exceptional and versatile mixed-use holding on the edge of Denmead, extending to approximately 17.83 acres (7.21 ha) in all, combining residential, commercial and equestrian elements in a well-connected yet peaceful Hampshire setting. At its heart, lies a charming family home of traditional brick and flint construction, complemented by a diverse range of income-generating assets and facilities.

The Property, including the four bedroomed detached dwelling set within grounds of 2.27 acres (0.91 ha), also offers a well-established 16-bay golf driving range, a combined cattery and 10-stable block (approx. 4,891.7 sq. ft. / 454.45 sq. m GEA), an indoor equestrian arena (approx. 6,042 sq. ft. / 561.32 sq. m GEA) and extensive concrete yard space.

The Property also includes approximately 5.23 acres (2.11 ha) of level pastureland, ideal for grazing, turnout or further equestrian use.

Offered in four Lots, or as a Whole, the Property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a site of this scale and flexibility, with established infrastructure, income potential and lifestyle appeal, as well as redevelopment potential - all within easy reach of Waterlooville, Portsmouth, the A3(M) and the South Downs.

Ground Floor: The front door leads into an attractive entrance hall with tiled floor, forming the central axis of the ground floor and giving access to the principal reception rooms.

To the right, a spacious sitting room (7.88m × 4.60m/25.85 ft. x 15.09 ft.) presents a superb, light-filled triple-aspect space with a large brick hearth and open fire place. This room is ideal for both relaxed family living and larger gatherings. Generous proportions and a garden-facing outlook enhance the sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. Next door is a dedicated dining area (3.88m × 3.56m/12.72 ft. x 11.67 ft.) also with an open fire and timber hearth, perfectly positioned for formal entertaining as well as day-to-day meals.

At the heart of the home lies a well-arranged kitchen (3.09m × 6.62m/10.13 ft. x 21.71 ft.), offering generous worktop space and excellent natural light, served by a sizeable utility room (3.33m × 3.20m/10.92 ft. x 10.49 ft.). Accessed directly from the kitchen is the conservatory (4.93m × 3.08m/16.17 ft. x 10.10 ft.) with natural light and overlooking the gardens. Beyond the utility room is the boot room (4.71m × 2.98m/15.45 ft x 9.77 ft.) provides a highly practical secondary entrance, ideal for country living, pets and outdoor pursuits. A door leads directly through to the substantial double garage (6.78m × 5.80m/22.24 ft x 19.02 ft.), creating seamless internal access.

There is also a well-proportioned office (3.87m × 2.36m/12.69 ft. x 7.74 ft.) offering an ideal workspace for those working from home, while a cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

A staircase from the entrance hall leads down to a dedicated basement room (approx. 3.69m × 3.32m/12.10 ft. x 10.89 ft.), providing a valuable additional space. Cool and naturally insulated, it offers excellent potential as a wine cellar, secure storage, hobby room or pantry, depending on a purchaser's requirements.

First Floor: A staircase from the entrance hall leads up to the first floor. The first floor is arranged around a generous central landing, giving access to four well-proportioned bedrooms.

The principal bedroom (4.88m × 4.61m/16.01 ft. x 15.12 ft.) is a notably spacious room, with attractive rear elevation views and its own en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable and private main suite. Bedroom 2 (2.87m × 4.60m/9.41 ft. x 15.09 ft.) offers a similarly pleasant front outlook, while Bedrooms 3 and 4 (both 3.87m × 3.53m/12.69 ft. x 11.58 ft.) are balanced double rooms with ample space for wardrobes or additional furnishings.

A well-appointed family bathroom serves Bedrooms 2-4, completing the upper accommodation. The layout provides excellent flexibility for families, guests, or multi-generational living.

Outside: The house sits comfortably within its plot, with grounds extending to approximately 2.27 acres (0.91 ha), forming Lot 1 of the wider holding. The garden is intended to be easy to maintain and mainly comprises lawn with some mature trees and shrubs. The house benefits from a patio area on the south-western corner of the house, well connected to the conservatory and living room, creating attractive spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation. A former tennis court, now repurposed as a garden storage area, lies discreetly to the south-west screened by mature trees offering scope for reinstatement or alternative use (subject to planning).

The approach provides generous parking and access to the double garage, while the surrounding land offers space, and an appealing rural setting on the edge of Denmead. The broader curtilage integrates with the wider acreage available across the remaining Lots, making Lot 1 both a standalone family home and part of a versatile mixed-use estate.
