Description

Dating from 1867, Eastleigh is a Victorian residence which has been creatively reimagined through a programme of extensive remodelling and refurbishment and has been finished to an uncompromising specification. The property offers intelligently designed and incredibly versatile accommodation, extending to over 4000 sq ft. over four floors and seamlessly combines period charm and opulence with modern convenience. Period features include ornate ceiling cornicing, deep skirtings, picture rails, panelled doors, Victorian shutters and sash windows. The property sits within mature south facing gardens to approximately a third of an acre.

Approached along a York stone driveway providing ample parking and turning, the property is entered via an oversized front door into the welcoming hallway with parquet flooring. The hallway leads into the impressive and expansive 32’7” ft open plan living/dining/kitchen which has been designed by Villeroy and Boch and features contemporary units with ceramic worktops. There is a range of Siemens built in appliances with smart technology, including double ovens and an integrated dishwasher. Other appliances include a Bora hob, Quooker Pro Fusion 3 square tap and Samsung fridge freezer. Completing the kitchen is a stunning central island perfect for informal dining and bifold doors leading onto the beautiful south facing terrace and gardens beyond.

Off the magnificent kitchen/dining/living lies the beautifully presented formal drawing room with feature fireplace, ornate ceiling cornicing and Victorian shutters providing the perfect space for relaxing and entertaining guests. A conservatory/garden room lies off the drawing room and captures glorious views of the gardens and provides a tranquil space for enjoying the sun. Finishing the downstairs accommodation is the opulent WC with Laufen sanitary ware. The downstairs accommodation is heated via heated skirting boards and ornate radiators.

A spacious panelled hallway leads up to the first floor galleried landing leading to three well-proportioned double bedrooms all with contemporary en suites. The double aspect principal bedroom is served by a contemporary en suite shower room and features a fitted dressing area and bifold windows onto the Juliet balcony with countryside views. There is a further double bedroom on the second floor which is served by a house bathroom with free standing bath.

The lower ground floor holds a wine cellar and a large laundry room and can also be accessed from the garden. Eastleigh enjoys wonderfully private, mature and beautifully landscaped south facing gardens to the rear. A sweeping York stone path links the lower and upper lawns which are defined by established hedging. There is a detached summer house with heating which could be utilised as ancillary accommodation or a home office. There is also gardens to the front of the property and a tandem garage.
