London Road, Headbourne Worthy, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23

This beautiful former Victorian stable block, rich in character and original features, has been thoughtfully extended and significantly improved by the current owners to create a superb family home that successfully blends historic charm with modern living. Set within approximately 0.4 acres of mature grounds, the property enjoys a private and tranquil setting in the highly desirable village of Headbourne Worthy, whilst remaining just moments from Winchester city centre and the mainline railway station, offering direct services to London Waterloo.

Approached via electric gates, the property opens onto a generous courtyard with ample space for multiple vehicles and a car port. The impressive entrance hall, with its vaulted ceiling, creates a striking first impression and offers a practical area for coats and shoes. From here, a staircase leads to the first floor, while doors provide access to the main ground floor rooms. The heart of the home is an exceptional open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed with both style and functionality in mind.

The bespoke Tom Howley kitchen features shaker-style cabinetry, elegant quartz worktops, and a large central island with seating - perfect for entertaining. This space is complemented by room for a sizeable dining table, making it ideal for family gatherings. Adjacent is a separate utility room and a convenient downstairs WC. The sitting room is light-filled and enjoys beautiful views of the rear garden, offering a serene space to relax. Completing the ground floor is a spacious bedroom including a built-in wardrobe, alongside a dedicated dressing area and separate shower room, providing flexibility for family living or guests.

On the first floor, there are three generously proportioned bedrooms, all well-lit and thoughtfully designed, and a stylish family bathroom. The property is surrounded by stunning, secluded grounds that are primarily laid to lawn, enriched with mature trees and shrubs. A large patio stretches across the rear of the home, perfectly positioned to enjoy its sunny southerly aspect.

Adding further appeal is a newly built detached annexe, thoughtfully designed to retain much of the original Victorian brickwork and character of the existing façade. Extending to over 700 sq ft, it includes a spacious reception room, modern kitchenette, underfloor heating and separate double bedroom. Bi-fold doors open onto a private patio area, seamlessly connecting to the main garden, ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or home working.

The property also benefits from approved planning permission should future owners wish to extend or enhance the accommodation further. This exceptional home combines timeless charm, modern luxury, and versatility, making it a truly unique opportunity in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.
