Description
Knowle House is a substantial Edwardian country house occupying an elevated position within grounds of approximately 4.12 acres. This impressive house has undergone significant refurbishment by the current owners creating impressive accommodation of approximately 6,665 sq. ft.
The principal drawing room is of generous dimensions, with high ceilings and large windows making for a particularly light room. Double doors open through into a dining room, making this a fine space for entertaining. Off the magnificent reception hall are two further reception rooms including the sitting room with its deep bay and central fir eplace, making it a cosy room for informal occasions. The study, with its large fireplace with original oak surround and oak flooring, is well arranged with built-in hardwood floor to ceiling cupboards and provides a great space for working from home. The split-level kitchen/breakfast room is well equipped with a range of floor and wall mounted units with solid beech drawers and attractive work surfaces over. From the raised kitchen area are steps down to the breakfast area, where there is ample space for informal dining. A separate utility room and laundry room mean that the practical elements of the house are easily at hand. The studio/gym/central family room, which is fully air-conditioned (two units), is close by and therefore provides a flexible living space, depending on individual requirements. This is a substantial room and could also have potential to be set up as a separate annexe arrangement.
Out of the reception hall a staircase rises to the first floor providing access to the bedroom accommodation. The principal bedroom is an impressive suite of fantastic proportions. The en suite bathroom is cleverly concealed behind the full height American walnut paneling of the private interconnecting corridor to the dressing room/bedroom 4. Off the dressing room is access on to the large expanse of roof terrace, which provides a vantage point to enjoy the views over the surrounding grounds and countryside beyond. There is power to the roof terrace, meaning that one can entertain there if so desired. In total the house is currently configured with six bedrooms, of which three have en suites and there is a further family bathroom. It could easily be made into seven bedrooms, and with a kitchenette at second floor level, again there is potential to create a live-in apartment if required.

The property is approached via electric gates which open out on to the gravelled driveway which leads up to a gravelled parking circle with central feature and box hedgerow borders, the driveway then continues from here to a concrete hardstanding at the very front of the property, this area is supplied with electricity and an EV charger. In addition to this parking there is a large modern barn which can provide garaging for vehicles, beyond this is a vegetable garden, with a greenhouse and stabling. The formal gardens are laid mainly to lawn interspersed and bordered by mature trees and shrubs. There is an excellent entertaining terrace on the western side of the house separated from the front gardens by a large pergola with sleeper steps that lead down to an attractive decking platform with hot tub. The views from the gardens are excellent, over looking paddocks with views to the open countryside beyond.
Location
The property sits in extensive grounds in a secluded position on the eastern fringes of the village. The village itself offers two public houses, a primary school, village hall and church. An excellent range of local amenities can be found in Bishops Waltham (2.5 miles), which is a pretty medieval market town with an excellent range of independent schools, boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants.
