5 bed detached house for sale

Kew Lane, Bursledon SO31

Approached by a sweeping gravel driveway, the property enjoys a commanding position within grounds extending to over 2.9 acres, featuring expansive lawns, mature trees and far-reaching views over adjoining woodland.

A magnificent front door opens into an inviting entrance porch, leading to a grand reception hall and staircase with a polished oak banister and parquet flooring. From here, the main reception spaces are thoughtfully orientated to take full advantage of the delightful views across the grounds, with high ceilings and retained period features enhancing the sense of light and proportion.

The beautiful triple-aspect drawing and dining room features two bay windows, an open fireplace and beautiful garden outlooks. A bright conservatory, accessed from the drawing room, provides a serene spot to enjoy the gardens throughout the year. The sitting room, positioned at the front of the house, offers another graceful reception area with an attractive fireplace.

At the heart of the home lies the kitchen/breakfast room, complete with an Aga, central island and access to the rear sun terrace with charming views across the gardens. A large and very functional utility room with side access adjoins the kitchen. A generous study/music room provides further flexible accommodation, again benefiting from garden aspects.

Upstairs, the impressive landing leads to the main bedroom, which benefits from a large bay window, giving long-range views over the grounds, and includes extensive built-in wardrobes. There are four additional double bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms and a separate shower room.

Outside

Externally, the property offers a suite of versatile outbuildings, including garaging for three cars and two detached structures ideal for storage, workshops or potential adaptation (subject to consents). The beautifully tended grounds are a defining feature of this home, extending to over 2.9 acres and offering exceptional privacy. Sweeping lawns, mature trees, landscaped areas and an impressive long tree-lined vista combine to create a setting of rare tranquillity and beauty.
