Preshaw Estate, Upham, Southampton, Hampshire, SO32

Delightful period home with well-presented and generous accommodation with attractive gardens, set in a superb position.


Description

Pear Tree Cottage is a beautiful brick and flint home, immaculately presented with well proportioned rooms and a superb layout. The property occupies a fantastic position within the Preshaw Estate in the South Downs National Park surrounded by beautiful countryside.

The entrance hall is a particularly good size with built-in cupboards and access to the ground floor cloakroom. The kitchen/breakfast room features a comprehensive range of wall and floor mounted units, with work surfaces over, a wood-burner set into an impressive fireplace, and a breakfast area offering a perfect space for informal entertaining. Doors lead through to the conservatory, which enjoys a fabulous outlook over the mature part walled gardens and, with access on to the rear terrace, links in well with the outside area. The generous sitting room provides classic entertaining space and is well-presented with a central fireplace and doors opening to the rear patio which overlooks the landscaped gardens. The ground floor accommodation flows extremely well, with areas of open-plan living space but equally benefitting from separate rooms.

At first floor level there are three double bedrooms including a principal bedroom suite with en suite facilities and a dressing area with the remaining two bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom.

OUTSIDE
The formal gardens lie to the rear of Pear Tree Cottage and have been attractively landscaped. A terrace immediately adjoins the rear of the property and provides great space for outdoor entertaining and relaxing. From here there is an attractive view out over the large area of lawns which rise on to the first tiered area where there is an expanse of level lawn, attractive planting, mature trees and established hedgerows. The rear gardens are part walled, which gives them a real feeling of intimacy. Behind the walls of the garden are some vegetable beds ideal for growing one's own produce. This area has a wonderful outlook over adjoining fields. There is a separate garage located in the front courtyard area.

In summary, Pear Tree Cottage is a real lifestyle opportunity at the heart of this historic Hampshire estate.
