Full Details for 5 Bedroom Detached for sale in Havant, PO9 :

PROPERTY SUMMARY An exceptional opportunity to purchase an historic 16th century Grade II listed Manor House which is recorded as one the oldest houses in the village hamlet of Old Bedhampton. The Manor House has two wing extensions made in the Victorian era and is understood to be the former home of Lord Sherborne and during World War II was owned by the Portsmouth News to use as alternate offices had their city premises been destroyed through bombing. The Grade II listed building stands proudly on grounds approaching one acre and provides flexible accommodation including an impressive drawing room with dual aspect windows and four further ground floor reception rooms, one with a half timbered wall. There are currently five principal bedrooms, four with en-suite facilities, plus a one bedroom (with en-suite), adjoining kitchen and living room, house keeper\‘s apartment. There are also further four second floor rooms and an impressive wine cellar / basement. The gate to the rear wall which is separately listed, provides easy access to Bidbury Mead, local shops and amenities. A feature of the garden is the ancient Irish Yew beyond which is an easily worked and productive vegetable garden and greenhouse. The front of the manor is a large gravel driveway with parking for numerous cars and accessed via a covered yard leading to four garages. The property has more recently been home to three elderly people and a house keeper and now requires some modernisation, however a large number of the period and character features remain. Old Bedhampton is located within approximately one mile to the west of Havant in a pleasant and peaceful hamlet, centred on the ancient village church, yet with good road and rail commutable links to all the major South Coast cities, the Southsea historic waterfront, Hayling Island and historic harbours. With mainline railway station from Havant providing access to London Waterloo in approximately one hour and fifteen minutes as well as local train services.
