THE PRINCIPAL PORTION OF A FINE MANOR HOUSE WITH EXTENDED ACCOMMODATION OF NEARLY 7,000 SQ FT INCLUDING SOME OF THE ELEGANT MAIN ROOMS, THE MAIN HALL AND STAIRCASE, TOGETHER WITH A RANGE OF GARAGING AND OUTBUILDINGS, A COURSE FISHING LAKE AND POTENTIAL FOR DOUBLE BANK FISHING ON A SECTION OF FORMER CANAL FED DIRECTLY BY THE RIVER TEST, SITUATED IN ABOUT 5 ACRES OF MATURE GARDENS AND GROUNDS.
A substantial section of a Victorian Manor House providing extensive family accommodation arranged over three floors, the house has been largely restored by the present owners over the years but still requires modernisation and renovation in areas. In addition there is also a self-contained annexe within an extension, as well as a range of outbuildings divided into former stables, garages, offices and stores. The property is set well back from the road off a long private driveway and is being sold with gardens and grounds of approaching five acres including a landscaped southerly facing terrace and lawns and a coarse fishing lake within a parkland setting. We believe, subject to consent, double bank fishing could be created along a fast following section of former canal fed by The River Test which runs along the western boundary. Further land and dwellings and buildings may be available by separate negotiation. The property also has the considerable benefit of superfast fibre broadband (FTTP).
The property is situated at the end of a quiet no-through lane on the edge of the village of Timsbury which has a church, village hall, public house and playing fields. A more comprehensive range of amenities can be found in the market town of Romsey just 2 miles away, including schooling, health care, leisure centre, supermarkets and general shopping. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are both within 30 minutes’ drive and there is also good access to the south coast via the M27 and London via the M3.
