Renovated 19th century home on the market near Fordingbridge

The period home near Fordingbridge has undergone extensive remodelling over the last five years and is surrounded on all sides by its own grounds of over three acres.

Orchard House is a four bedroom family home believed to date from the 1850s with a separate annex, stables and a triple garage block.

The current owners during the property’s renovation have sourced or reintroduce period features throughout the home, such as antique doors, slate hearths and wood panelling.

The entrance hall, with staircase to a galleried landing, offers access to both a large sitting room, with wood burning stove set within an inglenook fireplace, and also to a spacious study/library.

Double doors from the sitting room lead through to the dining room, again with an inglenook fireplace.

The newly fitted kitchen has vaulted ceilings, a range of Shaker-style cupboards, granite worktops and integrated appliances.

A utility room, with fitted units and a Butlers sink, and a WC/cloakroom complete the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes and one with an adjacent room that could be plumbed and fitted as an additional en suite. The family bathroom has a free-standing, double-ended slipper bath, in addition to a separate shower.

A timber-framed building, with vaulted ceiling, currently being let out as an award-winning Airbnb accommodation, is also included within the sale.

This open-plan space has a kitchen/dining/living area, with glass doors overlooking a secluded gravelled terrace, and a separate shower room. An oak staircase leads up to a mezzanine level.

Approached down a gravel driveway, the property is made up of several outbuildings, including a wooden-clad triple garage, with electric roller-shutter doors, an additional timber-framed double garage/workshop and a range of stables, with three loose boxes and a tack room.

James McKillop, the head of residential sales at Savills in Salisbury, said: “Nestled between two sought-after villages, Orchard House offers a lovely rural position, with a great house, annex and land. It's ideal for car enthusiasts too, with a superb garage block. I think it's a really good property all-round and Fordingbridge is just a short drive away.”
