5 bedroom detached house
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
Little Anchor is a truly exceptional family home, combining convenience with its proximity to the village centre and sailing club, incredibly spacious living accommodation throughout (predominantly focusing on superb entertaining spaces), deceptively large plot of just under an acre, a self contained detached annexe and a swimming pool with adjacent BBQ area.
A particular feature is the stunning central vaulted dining hall, which offers a superb entertaining space with a southerly aspect opening onto a courtyard. Opening onto the rear garden there is a further substantial living space, ideal as a games room, measuring approximately 28' by 26'. Further ground floor accommodation includes a huge open plan living room incorporating a sitting room, breakfast room and kitchen. There is a useful ground floor fourth bedroom (with en suite shower), cloakroom and an entrance hall. Aside the games room there is a further cloakroom, which also links to a through-way garage.
Upstairs, linked to the ground floor by a stunning helical staircase, all the accommodation is double height and includes three bedrooms, with the main bedroom providing a large dressing area, an en suite shower and a balcony
(overlooking the courtyard), and a family bathroom. To the front there is a substantial west-facing roof terrace.
The property provides many additional benefits in the form of a detached self contained annexe. The former village Customs House provides accommodation over two floors and includes an open plan ground floor living room/bedroom/kitchen and conservatory overlooking the swimming pool. There is a shower room, and on the first floor, a twin bedroom. To the rear there is a boiler house/plant room.
In our opinion the Customs House is ideal for an au pair, relative or as a bed and breakfast opportunity.
The garden and grounds are a very good size with many areas laid to lawn with mature trees and flowering shrubs within the borders. To one side of the house there is an attractive roof tiled garden gazebo ideal as an al fresco dining area. The garden provides a sunny semi-rural southerly outlook, which extends to the Itchenor Rife at the Eastern end.
There are many areas for off street parking and ample room for winter boat/trailer storage. The property is approached via an in/out driveway, with parking to the front, and a large vehicle gate to one side of the house extending the driveway to the large through-way attached garage at the rear. Beyond there is further parking along with access to a further detached garage/workshop and a garden store.
