An exceptional detached five bedroom home, constructed in 2021 and forming part of a small and exclusive development on the edge of the historic Hampshire village of Upton Grey.

Description

Built in an attractive red brick elevation and arranged over three floors, the property combines generous proportions with a high-quality contemporary finish.

A glass and oak framed porch opens into a generous entrance hall, where a central oak staircase creates an immediate sense of arrival. The quality of finish is evident throughout, with high ceilings, tiled flooring, discreet LED lighting and brushed stainless steel fittings creating a cohesive and refined feel.

The ground floor accommodation is thoughtfully arranged, offering a balance of formal and informal living space. A well-appointed study with built-in storage provides an ideal home office, complemented by a cloakroom and useful storage cupboards. The sitting room is both elegant and inviting, centred around a fireplace with a wood burning stove and opening via French doors to the terrace. A separate family room, featuring a square bay window, offers further flexibility.

At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, designed with both everyday living and entertaining in mind. The kitchen is fitted with quartz work surfaces and a generous central island incorporating a sink, wine fridge and breakfast bar seating. Further appliances include twin AEG ovens and a double width gas hob, alongside space for an American-style fridge freezer. There is ample room for both dining and relaxed seating, with doors opening seamlessly onto the terrace, creating a true social hub. A separate utility room provides additional practicality with direct external access.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom suite is particularly impressive, enjoying a dressing room with fitted wardrobes, a spacious en suite bathroom with twin basins and separate shower, and direct access to a generous roof terrace. From here, open views extend across the garden to the surrounding countryside, with steps leading down to the garden below.
Bedroom two is served by its own en suite shower room and fitted wardrobes, while two further bedrooms are supported by a well-appointed family bathroom.

The second floor offers further versatility, comprising an additional bedroom suite with dressing area and en suite shower room, alongside a dedicated office space.

The gardens are a notable feature of the property, having been carefully designed with both relaxation and entertaining in mind. A wraparound terrace creates a variety of inviting spaces for dining and informal seating, seamlessly complemented by a bespoke outdoor kitchen, offering an excellent setting for entertaining and outdoor living.

Beyond, the garden has been thoughtfully designed with retaining walls featuring slate insets and wide steps leading to a level lawn bordered by well-planted beds, with a further raised section adding definition and interest. A striking corten steel wall provides a contemporary focal point, while established trees and hedging offer a high degree of privacy.

Practical elements have been equally well considered, including a garden shed and a dedicated dog wash station, featuring a waist-height tub, handheld shower and storage, designed to make light work of muddy paws and ensure even the family dog enjoys the comforts of this well-considered home.

A detached double garage with a personal access door is complemented by a herringbone brick driveway offering generous parking for several vehicles.
