5 Bed Detached House, Planning Permission, SO20 6BY £3,000,000

Upstairs, a spacious landing leads to a triple-aspect sitting room with a corner fireplace and sweeping views of the valley. There is a principal bedroom suite featuring a private balcony, a fitted dressing room, and a en suite bathroom that includes a shower and separate spa bath. Two additional bedrooms—one with a balcony and the other with ample wardrobes—share a generous family bathroom with a separate shower.

The vaulted top floor is accessed by a spiral stone staircase and features two further double bedrooms both with built in storage, a family shower room, and a bright galleried gym/quiet area above the sitting room. A glass panelled bridge within a stainless steel framework and hand rail creates a magnificent architectural centrepiece and a wonderful sense of light and space.

The equestrian facilities are set apart from the main house and include an American-style barn with six Loddon loose boxes, a tack room and secure internal area for grooming and tacking up. An all-weather flood lit manège and post-and rail paddocks provide excellent riding amenities. A separate outbuilding houses a kitchenette, WC, two stores and an open-fronted barn—offering a well-equipped and versatile set-up for private/livery use or future commercial potential. Another adjoining store houses a full size generator with automatic connection to the mains in the event of a power outage.

Located in the heart of the Test Valley and surrounded by the extensive 1,400-acre Heath Estate, within easy access of Stockbridge Down, this home is ideally placed for rural peace and tranquillity and yet with excellent connectivity to the larger cities of Winchester and Salisbury and air, road and rail transport links to London and other parts of the UK and Europe all within easy reach. Stockbridge, with the reputation for being the centre of trout fishing on the internationally renowned River Test, offers a delightful mix of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, along with a renowned butcher and local hotel. The area is well served by a range of schooling options including Stockbridge Primary and Danebury Secondary School (formerly Test Valley Secondary), with nearby independent choices such as Farleigh, Embley, Godolphin, Pilgrims’, St Swithun’s, and Winchester College. For commuters, the A30 provides easy access to the A303 and M3, while rail connections from Winchester or Micheldever offer direct services to London Waterloo from 57 minutes. The surrounding countryside offers superb opportunities for walking, riding, cycling, and world-class trout fishing on the River Test.
