Georgian Splendour at Harbridge Court

2:26pm Tuesday 31st August 2010

Nea House in Somerley, near Ringwood, is the middle portion of Harbridge Court. A Grade II listed Georgian property believed to date from circa 1750, Harbridge Court was sympathetically converted 8 years ago into 8 prestigious homes, the residents of which share the original sunken gardens. Nea House has been elegantly maintained by the current owners, who have sensitively employed colours of the period in the décor throughout to emphasise the heritage of the property. Numerous period features have been preserved, such as the six open fireplaces and wonderful high ceilings, but also effortlessly blended with a luxuriously modern specification to create a home of outstanding quality. The accommodation is laid out over three floors, with the principal living space on the ground floor comprising a well proportioned drawing room, sitting room, and a beautifully fitted kitchen/breakfast room; on the first floor is an equally spacious master suite, two further double bedrooms and a well appointed family bathroom. Perhaps one of the most exceptional, not to mention unique, aspects of Nea House is the cellar, which has been converted to provide a 19ft dining room with vaulted ceiling and an adaptable cinema room/study. Externally, the owners benefit from their own private patio and enjoy the use of the landscaped communal gardens, whilst there is a double garage and ample parking found in the original courtyard, accessed via a video entry security system. Nea House is available at a price guide of £699,950.
