This exceptional property is situated at the end of Clease Way, in the prime semi-rural residential area of Compton Down, south of Winchester on the western side of the M3. There is direct access to bridleways providing long uninterrupted walks from Hurdle Way and the property is close to the village playing field and tennis courts. Most everyday requirements are readily available in the nearby villages of Shawford (with its mainline station and public house), Compton (Primary School), Twyford (post office/shop) and Otterbourne. This individual family house was built in the late 80’s, with brick elevations, part rendered with decorative timber framing under a tiled and dormered roof providing a modern construction with character. This family home provides almost 6,300/sqft of accommodation spread across two floors, with an additional annexe. The main house provides two sizable reception rooms on the west side of the property, with an inglenook fireplace in one and further feature fireplace in the other. The entrance hall then leads you over to the main kitchen/dining room fitted with a stunning country style kitchen with feature Aga. The first-floor houses four comfortable bedrooms with bedrooms one and two benefitting from private en-suites. There is a further family bathroom servicing bedroom three and four. A convenient utility room completes the first-floor accommodation in the main house. A vaulted atrium cleverly links the annexe section of the property to the main house. The annexe boasts two double bedrooms, a shower room, large living room and conservatory. A lower ground floor basement level can be found beneath the annexe and atrium, perfect for a cinema room or music studio. Externally, the lawned gardens are an exceptional feature, originally laid out with much foresight to create many serene areas divided by banks of shrubs, and interspersed by some exceptional specimen and evergreen trees. There is a beautiful ornamental pond, rockery and terraces. A stand out feature is the pool house, with sauna and a partially outdoor swimming pool. Adjoining the garden on the western side is an open area of field just over 3 acres. In all just under 5 acres are on offer. Agents note: There is a public footpath along the eastern boundary of the garden.

Compton is a sought-after village, only a ten-minute drive to historic Winchester, with a church, a village hall and a recreation area and forms the Parish of Compton and Shawford. Once England’s ancient capital city, Winchester has more comprehensive facilities which include independent shops and boutiques, fine restaurants, contemporary bars and a thriving bi-monthly Farmers Market. The famous Cathedral and beautiful Water Meadows are within the city and there is a network of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding in the surrounding countryside in and around Compton and Winchester. There are excellent connections to the M3, M27, A34, the South Coast and the New Forest. Southampton International Airport is 7 miles away and just under a mile away is Shawford Station which offers a direct train to London. Schooling is typically outstanding. Local catchment schools are Compton All Saints CE Primary School (short walk from the property) and Kings School as well as nearby independent schools, The Pilgrims’ School, Twyford Preparatory School, Winchester College and St. Swithun’s School.
