An elegant Grade II* listed home, set in glorious gardens and grounds
Description
Winchfield is a Georgian Grade II* listed house.
Originally mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1066, the present house was built circa 1767 by Lord George Beauclerk, 6th son of the first Duke of St Albans. Winchfield House was the seat of the Beauclerk family until the 1850s when it was sold to Spencer Charrington, in whose family it remains today.
The house has an elegant, broadly symmetrical design with interesting half-octagon projecting centre. The beautifully proportioned reception rooms, indicative of the era, are set around a central reception hall, the focal point of which at one end are two large windows and a graceful sweeping staircase at the other.
Upstairs the landing affords a sense of generous space and light, from which the principal bedrooms are accessed. There are 5 bedroom suites on the first floor. There is a half attic, housing 2 further bedrooms, bathroom, sitting room/additional bedroom, kitchenette and storeroom.
The basement, which provides hints to a bygone era with its substantial scullery, utility areas, cellars and stores, also houses an office and a self contained 2 bedroom staff flat.
The parkland surrounding the property encompasses a lake, wooded areas, pasture and formal gardens. The land extends in all to approximately 50 acres. The natural topography and historic development of the landscape give the park and its surroundings a mature and characterful identity.
There is a separate, refurbished, Grade II listed Coach House, which is beautifully presented throughout. It is currently used as one property but the layout affords the possibility of reverting back to 2 separate cottages. The Coach House has a delightful, private garden with views over the land owned by Winchfield House.
The equestrian facilities at Winchfield House include; a manege, 17 stables, tack room, feed store, hay barn, wash down area, stores and a 1 bedroom stable manager’s cottage. These facilities are currently let.
Location
In 1838 a railway station was built at Winchfield. It was the terminus point for all rail services from London, thereafter all mail was distributed to the rest of the South by mail coach. The village continues to benefit from a highly accessible commuter station, with services to London (from 49 mins). The Basingstoke Canal, completed in 1794, which connects Odiham with the River Thames, runs approximately 2.5 miles to the south of the village and affords scenic routes for dog walking, barge trips, canoeing, angling and paddle boarding.
Winchfield village is built on the site of a Stone Age settlement and has examples of 16th and 17th century architecture. It has a 12th century church, two pubs and a village hall.
The picturesque market town of Odiham, 3 miles to the South West, is the first Hampshire settlement mentioned in the Domesday book due to its status as a royal manor. Today its historic high street provides an extensive range of local amenities, including shops, restaurants, coffee shops, a Co-op supermarket and pubs.
Hartley Wintney, with its classic high street, village cricket pitch and the Central Common Mildmay Oaks, is 2 miles to the north east.
There are larger supermarkets, including M&S, Waitrose, Tescos, Sainsburys, Morrisons and Aldi at Fleet, Hook and Basingstoke. Basingstoke, approximately 8 miles away, is the largest town in Hampshire and hosts an excellent range of leisure and shopping facilities, including Festival Place, which has over 150 stores and a cinema.
The area is well connected for access to London and the West from either the M3 or M4 motorways. Heathrow Airport is approximately 26 miles from the property.
Schools: Alton School, Sherfield School, Lord Wandsworth College, Wellington College, Eagle House, Farnborough Hill, St Nicholas’ School and Daneshill School.
Distances: Hartley Witney 2 miles; Odiham 3 miles; Basingstoke 8 miles; Fleet 4.5 miles; Hook 4 miles; Farnham 18 miles; Winchester 27 miles; Central London (Knightsbridge) 42 miles.
