Dairy Place, Micheldever, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21

A period barn conversion offering a fabulous living environment with excellent accommodation, attractive gardens and set in a prime location

Description

This impressive home forms part of what was once Northbrook Farm, a redevelopment carried out in 2009/2010 by Walthams Limited, to create eight homes. The house is believed to date back to around the mid-19th century but has been converted with excellent attention to detail with a wealth of character features alongside latest technology and environmental features including an air source heat pump, solar PV and 30 kWh solar battery storage system. The property has been superbly maintained and offers spacious and well-planned accommodation, particularly for those that are looking to entertain.

The property is approached into a welcoming reception hall with staircase to first floor and door to a ground floor cloakroom. The hallway provides access to the guest suite, study and the large kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen/breakfast room has been beautifully fitted with a range with work surfaces over and a central island, measuring over 32ft x 12ft 8in, the kitchen is a significant feature to the house. Off the kitchen is a large and well fitted utility room. The drawing room is exceptional, a wonderful vaulted full-height ceiling with ceiling timbers and doors to both front and rear terraces. This room is ideal for entertaining, but also perfectly evokes the feeling of living in a barn conversion with a large inglenook brick fireplace with fitted wood-burner and a mezzanine floor providing a separate sitting area or television room. The large double-height windows and doors that provide access to both front and rear also bathe this exceptional room in large amounts of light.

On the first floor is a good size landing providing access to the principal bedroom and two further bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a very good size with an adjoining shower room and superb walk-in wardrobe plus the added benefit of air conditioning. A family bathroom competes the first-floor accommodation.

OUTSIDE
Approached from a private driveway with parking area, the property has a double car barn and store with an EV charging point and electric doors, perfect for vehicles and garden equipment. The excellent garden is a wonderful feature, principally laid to lawn, it boasts many attractive trees and shrubs plus a screened vegetable patch. There are several excellent outside seating areas which have been created including the sweeping patio immediately behind the house, a covered terrace to the front of the property and an attractive pergola clad retreat in the garden.
