5 bedroom detached house for sale

Situated in a prime location on the outskirts of Titchfield and tucked away down an unmade lane, a substantial family home of 3500 sq ft set in glorious 4.2 acres with formal gardens and a vineyard.

Situated in a prime location on the outskirts of Titchfield and tucked away down an unmade lane, a truly exciting and rare opportunity to acquire this much loved family home which extends to 3453 square feet of accommodation, and which has been occupied by my clients for over thirty years; Misty Haze was originally built in the 1950's and has been the subject of further extension works done by my clients in the 1990's. A particular feature of this property is the setting, it is totally unique, tucked away down a discreet driveway, within completely private and glorious land extending to 4.2 acres, offering complete peace and tranquility. Within the curtilage my client has pursued a passion for winemaking and the mature vineyard nestles in one hectare on the fringes of the formal gardens, creating an ambience reminiscent of the winemaking regions of France. The vineyard was originally planted thirty years ago with forty rows of eight different varieties of grapevines producing sparkling wine, as well as red and white wines; the quality and provenance of the wine produced is widely respected and sought after by connoisseurs of English wines. Misty Haze is approached down a tree lined gravel driveway opening out to the rear to an extensive area of parking with garaging and office above. On entering the house, the Entrance Hall is a spectacular vaulted space, centring on a woodburning stove, leading through to the adjacent formal reception rooms. Both the Sitting Room and Dining Room are very well proportioned making superb spaces in which to entertain and relax with friends and family. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room is a wonderful room in the hub of the house where people congregate to be sociable; the Kitchen has been fitted with ample wooden cupboards with granite worktops and a gas fired AGA with electric companion; large picture windows at the far end showcase the beautiful gardens beyond. A private Study and two wonderful bedroom suites complete the ground floor. Upstairs has been designed to provide an exceptional Master Suite with a Dressing Room, the bedroom is a beautiful, vaulted room with large windows and doors leading onto the south facing balcony giving breathtaking views over the gardens and vineyard beyond. Outside, the canopied terrace provides a generous area in which to soak up the extraordinary surroundings, the formal gardens have been landscaped with many mature specimen trees, shrub borders, exquisitely planted ponds and large lawn. To one side is an attractive ornate tiled swimming pool with a waterfall feature. There are numerous outbuildings for storage, as well as the working winery, there is also rear vehicular access.

This really is a spectacular residence situated in an extremely peaceful location, a short stroll off road to Chilling Beach, which is an exceptionally quiet beach only accessed by foot with a rugged coastline. Titchfield is just down the road and is a beautiful unspoilt medieval village, home to an old Anglo Saxon church. The village has a thriving community and people flock to the boutique shops, cafes and public houses to enjoy the relaxed and friendly vibe. Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve is on the outskirts of the village where you can walk to Hill Head beach and Meon Shore.
