6 bedroom detached house for sale

What’s On Offer?
Found in a prime, discreet spot in the ever-popular area of Hightown Hill, you’ll find St. Andrews Lodge- a sprawling family home offering near on 5000 square feet of adaptable living space. With over 5 acres of picturesque gardens and paddocks, this property offers true privacy and even gives direct entry to the New Forest National Park.

The current owners have extended and updated the house over the years, with no expense spared to create a modern, functional, yet cosy family home. Equally impressive inside and out from the large, proportional rooms to the hallway space and endless grounds.

Stepping into the huge central hallway which gives a direct line of sight to the rear gardens and paddock through large bifold doors. The scale and usability of the entrance hall alone hints at the scale and usability that’s to come. The hallway gives access to all 4 reception rooms, utility/laundry room, downstairs toilet and the kitchen; it feels like a proper central hub for a busy family home, where kids and pets will run riot!

Relax.
Through double doors into the main family lounge, you’ll be pleasantly impressed with the size (9m x 5.2m) and thanks to the triple aspect, the light. Large French doors open into the garden, creating that indoor-outdoor feeling that we all love. This room is serrate to the other reception rooms, so you can relax in peace whilst the kids play in the second family room.

The Entertainers Dream.
On the other side of the home is the family room- a large space that’s adaptable to your needs with an open area, a mezzanine floor up in the vaulted ceiling that’s perfect for a home office (or fun sleepovers!) and direct access to the patio. We can easily see this being the entertainers dream room, with guests spilling out into the terrace! The oversize brick fireplace is currently used as handy storage for toys, but would make a very grand fireplace if recommissioned!

Cook.
The kitchen is ideal for hosting guests around the island, perfect for cooking your signature dish with 3 Neff ovens and the breakfast bar is primed for rushed school mornings! Bespoke oak cabinetry, granite worktops and Travertine floors set the tone for the quality and attention to detail. Other integral appliances include a microwave, electric hob, Neff dishwasher, fridge freezer, a Franke sink and the all important wine cooler. Dual aspect windows keep the kitchen filled with natural light throughout the day before spotlights take over. Ample storage solutions keep things tidy, including units within the island.

A very useful laundry room leads into a utility room, separate from the kitchen, off the hallway. Finally, a handy WC completes the ground floor.

Bon Appetit.
Although kept for best and used sparingly, we love the formal dining room- it’s perfect for Sunday lunches, hosting Christmas and fancy family meals with a garden view!

Sweat.
A large middle reception room is presently used as a home gymnasium, so you can get your sweat on whilst admiring your gardening! As with all rooms here, t’s a great size and so can be adapted for whatever need you have. Need a dedicated sports room? Always wanted a crafts space? Here’s your chance.

Let’s Go Upstairs.
We love the feature staircase that leads to an impressive 360 floor landing, complete with a striking hourglass pendant. From here, you have access to all 6 bedrooms.

The primary suite is HUGE. An emperor bed is perfect here, with masses of space for large furniture. We love the vaulted ceiling, full height glass gable and the balcony overlooking the gardens. A luxurious en suite looks unused, and boasts a sumptuous free-standing bath, walk in double rain shower, dual sinks and brilliant lighting choices. Fashionistas will love the centrally heated walk in wardrobe with floor to ceiling shelves, hangers and hooks!
5 additional bedrooms are large, square and recently decorated neutrally for the new owners. 3 of these rooms feature en suites, each with individual character, all charming. A centrally located family bathroom featuring Roca furniture is also spotless…this really is good to go- no updates needed.

The Grounds.
Acceded via a private lane and electric gates, the driveway wraps around the property with plenty of space for several vehicles of all sizes. Your classic car is tucked away in the triple garage, which is complete with power, lighting and security. A Southerly facing main garden offers green-fingered buyers plenty to get stuck into, with rambling lawns and mature boarders that you can admire from the patio, which runs the length of the home. Morning coffee, evening wine and standout parties are almost compulsory here!
Past the naturally fed pond (currently fenced off for the kids) you’ll find further far reaching grounds that would be perfect as a paddock, with direct access out to the New Forest National Park. Just imagine finishing breakfast, saddling up and being on your favourite trail within minutes.
