Lockhams Road, Curdridge, Southampton, SO32

An exceptional country residence with extensive leisure amenities and beautiful gardens

Description

Set within an exceptionally sought-after semi-rural setting, this distinguished period residence has been comprehensively restored and extended to provide in excess of 6,000 sq ft of beautifully curated accommodation, all set within approximately 1.4 acres of mature, landscaped grounds. The house presents an exemplary balance of architectural heritage and contemporary refinement, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a family home of both substance and enduring elegance.
The principal living space is centred around a remarkable open plan kitchen and dining room, conceived as the heart of the home. Flooded with natural light, this impressive space enjoys an immediate connection to the gardens, with wide bi-folding doors opening onto the terrace and framing far-reaching views across the grounds. The bespoke oak-framed kitchen is of exceptional quality, comprehensively fitted with Miele appliances, including double ovens, alongside a large Neff induction hob, extensive cabinetry and a substantial central island, creating a space equally suited to informal family life and formal entertaining.
The ground floor provides a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, arranged with careful consideration for both flow and versatility. These spaces offer flexibility for formal entertaining, relaxed day-to-day living and home working, while maintaining a strong sense of character and cohesion throughout.
The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the upper floors and comprises four generous double bedrooms, each with its own en suite, affording a high degree of privacy and comfort. The principal suite is particularly well appointed, incorporating an extensive dressing room with bespoke fitted storage and a luxuriously appointed en suite bathroom. Additional bath and shower rooms, including a dedicated facility serving the pool complex, further enhance the practicality of the house.
A defining feature of the property is its outstanding range of leisure and ancillary accommodation. The indoor heated swimming pool, complemented by a sauna, is accompanied by a dedicated gym and a separate home office, forming a discreet yet highly functional lifestyle suite. An extensive cellar, currently arranged as a wine store, adds further depth and versatility to the accommodation. The property is well supported by a large garage and a generous driveway, providing ample parking.
The gardens are a particular feature, having been thoughtfully designed to create a sense of privacy and enclosure. Predominantly laid to lawn, with established planting and a variety of seating areas, they offer a natural extension of the living space and provide an attractive outlook from the principal rooms throughout the seasons.
Despite its tranquil setting, the property is conveniently positioned for access to Winchester, Southampton and London, offering a compelling combination of rural seclusion and connectivity.

Location

The village of Curdridge is perceived as a first class rural area with agriculture and associated industries having predominated the area since Anglo Saxon times. Curdridge is also the gateway to the Meon Valley and is valued by its population as a desirable area in which to live and work.

The village itself is spread over an area of 6 square miles. The many lanes and side roads offer great character, especially with Lockhams Road and Outlands which are good examples and offer views over rolling farmland as far as Portsmouth and the Isle of Wight. To the northern end of the village are Curdridge Primary School, the Church and Reading Rooms (Village Hall), the recreational ground and junior football field. Swanmore Secondary School is also within easy driving distance.

Within the area there are a number of public footpaths, in particular the Nether Hill to Durley Mill and Blind Lane. Further afield are the excellent amenities offered by the Georgian market towns of Bishops Waltham and Wickham as well as the overland mainline railway services at Botley, 1 mile (1.6 km). More comprehensive facilities can be found in Southampton, together with the International Airport at Eastleigh, 7.7 miles(12.5km). Pinewood is also well situated for easy access to the national motorway network with Junction 7 of the M27 being approximately 4.3 miles (7 km).
