Oakwood underwent a significant programme of refurbishment and extension in 2024. The house now enjoys a functional and practical internal layout with abundant natural light. A simple palette of natural materials – oak, limestone, slate – imbues the house with a sense of tranquillity and space. Further enhancements include central air-conditioning, air-source heating and a three-phase mains electricity supply with an electric vehicle charging point.

The house is set back from the village road and approached via a gravel driveway with ample parking. Upon entry, a wide hallway flows into the heart of the home; a spacious dining area and kitchen/breakfast room with large doors providing direct connection to the outside space. The modern kitchen features a central island and a large picture window with a window seat. The cooking space boasts a spacious larder and luxury appliances by Fisher + Paykel, Bertazzoni and Bosch. Oakwood features two further reception rooms: a sitting room with direct garden access and wood-burning stove; and a separate study which would also work well as a sixth bedroom. The ground floor of the property also accommodates a utility/boot room with Bosch appliances, and a shower room and WC. The property's first floor has a large principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room leading into a further bedroom/dressing room. Also upstairs are an additional large bedroom with an en-suite shower room and built-in wardrobes, two more good-sized bedrooms, and a family bathroom.

The property benefits from a wrap-round garden designed and recently installed by award-winning King's Oak Landscapes (formerly Hillier Landscapes). A south-facing front lawned area with a limestone coffee terrace leads to a private rear garden and patio bordered by mature fruit trees and shrubs. An historic listed garden wall forms the West boundary. The property also has a double garage at the front with additional access from the study.

Chilbolton is a pretty Test Valley village with a thriving community. Local amenities include a shop,café,post-office and a pub; both within a five-minute walk of the property. Picturesque Stockbridge, with its plethora of independent specialist shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants, is just 3.6 miles away. Excellent state schools include Wherwell Primary and Test Valley Secondary. There are numerous private schools in the area, including Farleigh, Twyford, Winchester College, Marlborough College, St Swithun's and Godolphin in Salisbury. The city of Winchester is nine miles away, and the market town of Andover is four miles away, both providing more comprehensive facilities and mainline train stations reaching London Waterloo in 58 minutes (times and distances approximate).
