Tatchbury Mount, Calmore, Southampton, Hampshire, SO40

Steeped in history and charm, this exceptional detached thatched residence—originally built in the 1920's—has been lovingly owned since 1980 and significantly improved and extended over the years.

Now arranged seamlessly across three spacious floors, the home offers an impressive level of well-proportioned accommodation, including six en suite bedrooms, making it perfectly suited to multi-generational living or those seeking generous guest space. Additional loft rooms further enhance the accommodation, ideal for hobbies or storage.

The main house is rich in charm, with spaciously arranged reception rooms ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. At the heart of the home lies a generous kitchen/dining room, perfectly suited to family life and informal gatherings, supported by a utility room and guest cloakroom. Multiple sitting rooms, a formal dining room and a dedicated study provide excellent flexibility for modern living while retaining a strong sense of character.

The thatched roof, replaced with durable Norfolk reed approximately 20 years ago, provides both character and longevity, with a typical lifespan of approximately 40 years. Presented in good condition throughout, the property blends period warmth with thoughtful modern enhancements, complemented by a double garage with first floor space which sits alongside a collection of traditional stables and additional outbuildings.

Set within a magnificent 2.5-acre plot, the grounds are a true highlight, thoughtfully divided into a series of beautifully curated garden rooms. These include a tranquil woodland area, a serene zen garden, a lush tropical garden, a Mediterranean inspired space, and a turning out area to the front—offering both visual interest and practical versatility.

A paddock to the rear extends the appeal for those with equestrian or hobby farming interests. A separate pool house provides further recreational or entertaining potential. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and characterful country home with expansive grounds, rich provenance, and remarkable potential, with pricing guidance available at this stage and no forward chain anticipated.

Calmore is a well established village on the western edge of the New Forest, offering an attractive blend of semi rural surroundings and excellent everyday convenience. The village has a friendly, community feel and is particularly popular with families and commuters, thanks to its proximity to Totton, Southampton and the surrounding forest villages. Calmore benefits from a range of local amenities including shops, schools, a medical centre and recreational facilities, all within easy reach.

One of Calmore’s strongest draws is its immediate access to the New Forest National Park, where open heathland, woodland walks and traditional forest villages can be enjoyed year round. Despite this tranquil setting, the village remains highly accessible, with Totton railway station nearby offering direct services to Southampton, Winchester and London Waterloo, alongside easy access to the M27 and A35.
