South End, Damerham, Fordingbridge, Hampshire

Villa Vista is a striking contemporary home that blends traditional timber-framed craftsmanship with sleek modern design. Clad in natural wood with extensive glazing, it has been carefully designed to maximise natural light and take full advantage of its tranquil rural surroundings. With underfloor heating throughout, the interior offers over 2,200 sq ft of beautifully presented accommodation in the main house, defined by clean lines and high-quality finishes throughout.

The accommodation flows from a wide and welcoming reception hall into the principal reception areas. The heart of the home is a spectacular vaulted sun and dining room, featuring floor-to-ceiling glazing and exposed timber beams, creating a striking sense of volume and light. This impressive space connects seamlessly to the modern kitchen, recently upgraded and fitted with a large central island, quartz worktops, and integrated high-end appliances. The ground floor further comprises a light-filled drawing room with direct access to the garden, a dedicated home office (which could be used as a ground floor bedroom if required), and a practical utility room.

On the first floor, the accommodation continues to impress. The principal bedroom features a private balcony overlooking the grounds, and an en suite bathroom, while two further well-proportioned double bedrooms share access to a balcony and are served by a stylish family bathroom with a walk in, wet room style shower and access to a large loft storage area.

A private gravel driveway provides ample parking and leads to a detached timber-framed outbuilding, comprising a large garage/workshop and car port, with a versatile studio/gym with cloakroom, offering excellent flexibility for home working or ancillary use.

A further timber outbuilding (30'3 x 19'7) provides additional storage or workshop space.

Surrounding the house are extensive, park-like grounds offering a high degree of privacy. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and complemented by a productive orchard with cherry, pear and apple trees, mature specimen trees, and a substantial greenhouse. A generous wrap-around timber deck and paved terrace provide ideal areas for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The property is set within the charming village of Damerham, a sought-after Hampshire village on the edge of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape, offering an idyllic rural setting surrounded by unspoilt countryside. The village retains a strong sense of community with a parish church, village hall and local pub, while nearby Fordingbridge provides a wider range of everyday amenities including independent shops, cafés and supermarkets. Ringwood supports a shopping centre with high end brands and a Waitrose store. The New Forest and South Coast are accessible for country persuits and water sports.

There is a good selection of highly regarded independent schooling within reach, including Forres Sandle Manor, Salisbury Cathedral School, Godolphin School and Chafyn Grove School in Salisbury, as well as Bryanston School, Canford, Millton Abbey and Clayesmore School further afield. Western Downland CofE School is in the village, with Ringwood Academy and Burgate school also close by.

Road links are convenient via the A338 and A354, providing connections to Salisbury, the south coast and the wider motorway network. Rail services are available from Salisbury to London Waterloo in approximately 1 hour 25 minutes, making the area suitable for both full-time residence and commuting.
