Life at Shapley Heath
Elegant & spacious
Shapley Heath is a handsome, detached Edwardian residence in a pretty half- acre plot in the hamlet of Winchfield, just a mile outside the desirable village of Hartley Wintney, Hampshire.
The house boasts an expansive 3,400 sq ft of accommodation within mature, landscaped gardens and is just a five-minute walk from Winchfield station, with direct trains to London Waterloo in under an hour.
This gorgeous home offers five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a drawing room, TV room/ snug, dining room, modern kitchen/diner, separate utility room, downstairs cloakroom, loft and a cellar.
Great restorations
Shapley Heath was lovingly renovated four years ago to create a stunning family home whilst retaining its period features and traditional elegance. The comprehensive upgrade included
a new roof, insulation, extensive double- glazing, new electrics and plumbing, new flooring, complete re-plasteringthroughout, a new boiler plus underfloor heating, as well as high-quality bathrooms and a fabulous, contemporary kitchen.
This beautiful house is in 'move-in' condition whilst offering scope for further expansion into the loft or converting the store room next to the garage.
Making an entrance
The pleasingly symmetrical Edwardian facade boasts a handsome front door that opens into a gracious hallway, complete with high ceilings and pale oak flooring.
The spacious drawing room benefits from broad bay windows on three sides, giving views over the wrap-around garden. There's a convenient, modern gas fire, operated by remote control to ensure this is a warm, delightful space to enjoy time with friends and family.
Opposite there's a relaxed snug/TV room for evenings at home watching a movie or for kids wanting to lock themselves away with their PlayStation.
Fabulous festivities
An impressive formal dining room also overlooks the gardens with large windows on two sides as well as french doors leading out onto the terrace for summer BBQs, dining and entertaining. There's plenty of space for a big dining table for entertaining and this would be a fabulous room for a large-scale party!
Heart of the home
Towards the rear of the house is the superb, triple-aspect kitchen with two sets of doors opening onto the garden and terraces. This room captures the sun all day and has bifold doors and windows facing east, south and west, making it beautifully light and warm.
The high-quality, bespoke kitchen features painted wooden units with
a marble worktop, a sizeable L-shaped central island providing a sociable space to cook and chat, and a breakfast bar, ideal for meals on the go or for enjoying a mid-morning coffee.
Appliances include a double oven, dishwasher, induction hob and extractor, wine fridge, an integrated double fridge/ freezer and underfloor heating that keeps the room warm and toasty.
Next to the back staircase is a separate utility room beside the back door; very convenient for bringing in wet dogs and discarding muddy boots after a country walk. Adjacent, there is a useful downstairs cloakroom and a pump room. There is also access to the cellar, ideal for storing wine ready for the parties the house can comfortably host.
Sweet slumber
From the front hall, the principal staircase leads to a broad upstairs landing with lots of natural light, highceilings and access to all five bedrooms. Four of the bedrooms are wonderfully generous doubles with big windowsand garden views and two also have traditional open fireplaces. The smaller fifth bedroom is currently used as a study/home office.
There are two sublime, airy bathrooms, both featuring showers and baths, as well as attractive tiling. Both of the bathrooms benefit from cosy underfloor heating.
There is a substantial loft offering ample storage space and which has the potential for conversion (subject to permissions).
Step outside
Keen gardeners will love the well- stocked, landscaped gardens, which are delightful and wrap around the southand west sides of the house for lotsof summer sun. There's a mature rose garden, a herb garden and a lovely flat lawn, perfect for children's ball games, plus a big south-facing terrace directly outside the kitchen for summer dining.
There is ample parking on the driveway for several cars in front of the house and behind the house, is a new garage with a good-sized, attached annexe and loft storage. The annexe would be ideal for converting into a home office, a studio, a workshop or additional accommodation (subject to any necessary consents).
