Wykeham Place, Fareham

SIMPLY STUNNING 2,000 SQ.FT APARTMENT ** PRIVATE GARDEN AND ENTRANCE ** TWO PARKING SPACES ** THREE BEDROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS **

Set within one of Fareham’s most impressive and prestigious Grade II listed buildings, this truly exceptional three-bedroom ground floor apartment is anything but ordinary... Offering approximately 1,903 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation, its own private entrance, private garden and two allocated parking spaces, this remarkable home effortlessly combines the grandeur and character of its Georgian surroundings with stylish, contemporary living.

Forming part of Wykeham Place, an exclusive gated development of just seven individual residences, the property enjoys a wonderful feeling of privacy from the moment you arrive. Behind the secure gated entrance sits an imposing period building packed with architectural presence, yet once inside, the apartment has been thoughtfully designed for modern-day life without losing the character that makes the building so special.

Unlike many apartments, this home benefits from its own private entrance, immediately giving it a much more individual feel. Step inside and the sheer scale of the accommodation quickly becomes apparent, with high ceilings, beautiful proportions, decorative coving and impressive sash windows creating a fantastic sense of light and space throughout.

Without question, the real showstopper is the extraordinary open-plan kitchen, dining and living space.

Measuring approximately 37ft x 29ft at its widest points, this is a genuinely breathtaking room and one that has to be seen in person to be fully appreciated. The impressive bay-fronted living area is flooded with natural light through its beautiful sash windows, while the high ceilings and period detailing provide an elegant backdrop to the contemporary finishes.

There is an abundance of space to create separate areas for relaxing, dining and entertaining without ever compromising the open-plan feel. Whether it's a quiet evening at home, Sunday lunch with the family or a house full of friends, this is a room designed to accommodate it all.

Flowing seamlessly into the living space is the stunning contemporary kitchen, centred around a substantial island which naturally becomes the social heart of the room. Offering plenty of preparation space, storage and room to gather around, the kitchen manages to feel sleek and modern while sitting beautifully alongside the property's Georgian character. It's a brilliant example of old and new working together rather than competing against one another.

The sense of space continues into the bedrooms, with all three being genuine doubles.

The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, measuring approximately 17ft x 15ft and providing plenty of room for substantial bedroom furniture while retaining a wonderfully spacious feel. This room also benefits from its own stylish en-suite shower room, creating a luxurious private retreat away from the main living accommodation.

Bedroom two is another exceptionally generous double at approximately 15ft x 14ft, while the third bedroom is also comfortably proportioned. The versatility of the layout means the third room could work equally well as a guest bedroom, home office or dressing room for anyone who doesn't require all three bedrooms permanently.

Serving the remaining bedrooms is a beautifully presented family bathroom, finished in keeping with the high standard seen throughout the rest of the apartment.

One of the features that really sets this property apart is its private outside space. Apartments offering accommodation of this calibre are rare enough, but finding one with its own garden in such a central location is even more unusual. It provides a fantastic extension of the living accommodation during the warmer months, with space to sit outside, entertain friends or simply enjoy some peace and quiet away from the bustle of everyday life.

Practicality hasn't been forgotten either. The development benefits from secure gated access and a video entry system, while the apartment comes with two allocated parking spaces – a particularly valuable addition given its central Fareham location. Communal bin storage is also provided.

And that location is another huge part of the appeal.

Wykeham Place sits on East Street in the heart of Fareham, putting an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities within easy reach. Fareham's bus and coach station is only a short walk away, while Fareham mainline railway station is approximately 0.9 miles from the property.

For those commuting further afield, Junction 11 of the M27 is just a few minutes' drive away, providing convenient connections towards Portsmouth, Southampton and beyond. Port Solent, with its waterfront restaurants, bars, shops and leisure facilities, is approximately 4.2 miles away, while Gunwharf Quays and Portsmouth's wider waterfront attractions are also within easy reach.

There is an excellent choice of both private and state schooling throughout the surrounding area, together with numerous leisure facilities, gyms, golf clubs and healthcare services. The nearby Cams Hall Estate is also home to an impressive 27-hole golf course.

This is apartment living on an entirely different scale. With almost 2,000 sq ft of accommodation, three substantial double bedrooms, spectacular entertaining space, its own garden, private entrance and secure parking, the property delivers the proportions and lifestyle of a substantial home while retaining the convenience of apartment living.

Properties offering this combination of history, space, specification and location rarely become available. For anyone looking for something genuinely special in the heart of Fareham, Wykeham Place is an absolute must-see.
