An iconic and historically significant GII Listed residence of 2358 square feet set in mature gardens extending to 1.3 acres with far reaching panoramic countryside views.

Posbrook Gardens nestles in the countryside just outside the historic village of Titchfield and a short distance from the Solent and is approached down a meandering private lane adjacent to farmland with a gravel driveway which opens into a large area for parking. The property was formerly part of the Great Posbrook estate with origins dating back to the 1600’s and has been the much-loved home of my clients for nearly fifty years. Immediately on entering this magical home the wealth of period features evoke a deep sense of history with wall and ceiling beams, inglenook fireplaces and exposed brick walls in many rooms. An inner lobby draws you into the heart of the home where the elegant principal reception rooms both feature magnificent fireplaces; on the south side of the house there is a gorgeous dual aspect sunroom with large picture windows drawing in the sunshine making it the perfect space to relax. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room has been fitted with duck egg blue cupboards, a ceramic sink and a beautiful navy-blue oil fired two door AGA; a range of appliances are included and there is also plenty of space for a farmhouse table for informal dining. This room opens into a generous vaulted Dining Room which forms part of a later extension built in 2000 and features a glazed end wall overlooking the gardens; a doorway leads into guest bedrooms, both with ensuite facilities, and a Utility Room. On the first floor all the original oak floorboards have been retained adding to the beauty and history of the house, there is a particularly spacious Study which has been used in the past as a bedroom. There are two double bedrooms, complimented by a bathroom; the dual aspect Master Bedroom affords views over the farmland and is a lovely tranquil room with a vaulted ceiling and a brick fireplace.

A particular selling feature of this wonderful property are the glorious gardens where the atmosphere is truly idyllic with birdsong heard all around, to the front of the house is a parkland area planted by my client in the 1990’s with mature specimen trees such as plane trees, pine trees, eucalyptus and a walnut tree. On the south side of the house are more formal tiered lawns with a feature pond, a pergola covered in mature climbers and a large terrace for relaxing and al fresco dining. To the rear of the plot screened by shrubs is a large area which would have formed part of a Victorian kitchen garden, there are currently some vegetable beds and outbuildings for storage.

The location of the property is exceptional being situated in a rural, completely private and peaceful situation, the property is well positioned for commuters, being within easy reach of the A/M27 road networks and Fareham Train Station with trains to London in 1hr 40 or 1hr 11 from Southampton Airport Parkway and only 75 minutes from the top of the A3.
