6 bedroom detached house

Hurstbourne Manor is a unique opportunity to acquire a prestigious new home built and hand-crafted by the award-winning Sherbourne Developments. Located in the North Wessex Downs, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, surrounded by farmland. Its position gives views over its own parkland to the surrounding countryside. Situated at the end of a long tree-lined drive, Hurstbourne Manor sits in extensive grounds, which are predominantly natural woodland and pasture, providing a fine setting with a small estate feel. The property nicely tucked away adding to the privacy without compromising it's open feel.

This stunning property offers substantial and luxurious accommodation. Arranged over three floors, the main house includes six bedroom suites and five reception rooms. Planning permission exists for 4,000sqft across two further buildings encompassing garaging for six cars, large storage spaces, additional accommodation and a gym (this can be delivered at an additional cost).

Influenced throughout by classical Georgian references, Hurstbourne Manor sympathetically weaves into its fabric both traditional and modern materials, coupled with time – honoured craftmanship, enhancing the charm and grandeur of this country house.

Externally, the clay plain tiles contrast beautifully with the crispness of the flint construction, blended with the warm hues of the red brick detailing, laid in a traditional Flemish bond. The wooden box-frame sliding sash windows are made by local joiners and hand painted. A broad hand-made stone portico frames the entrance, creating an impressive formal transition into the well-proportioned interior.

Internally, the Georgian proportions quickly become evident; high ceilings amplify the natural light and display the elegant detail of the plaster cornicing in the reception rooms. Further respecting the period references, bespoke skirting, architraves, and door linings complete the interior architectural detailing.

Impeccable attention to detail sets this home apart, with the finest natural stone and wood flooring, detailed fireplace surrounds, traditionally crafted joinery and luxurious bathroom and kitchen fixtures and fittings from suppliers such as Lefroy Brooks and Porter Bathrooms. The house features underfloor heating, prewiring for selected audio-visual systems as well as home security and CCTV systems.
