Crabthorn Farm Lane, Hill Head

Situated in an idyllic and tranquil location, tucked away along an unmade lane, a much loved family residence extending to over 1600 square feet. The property, built in 1931, was originally a small semi-detached bungalow; which has remained within the family since its construction, being a home to three generations. My client has lived at the property since she was five years of age and acquired the property from her mother in 2017. Since her ownership, she has sympathetically extended and renovated this truly magical place. The accommodation is deceptively spacious and extremely flexible oozing character throughout with glorious reception areas; the sitting room and snug both centre on a log burning stove. Double doors from the sitting room lead to a conservatory which affords delightful views across the garden. The kitchen/dining room is truly impressive with bespoke painted wooden cupboards with honed granite tops and a large Butler's sink. This area is the heart of this impressive home with a vaulted ceiling and French doors, again, leading to the garden. There are four bedrooms, all of double proportions, with only bedroom 4 being situated on the first floor. There is a substantial loft space adjacent to this bedroom, ideal for an en-suite if required. Two of the ground floor bedrooms benefit from French doors opening to the idyllic gardens.

The property is beautifully set back from the lane itself, approached via a shingle driveway, providing ample parking and leading in turn to the detached garage/workshop with store behind and greenhouse. A path with wooden gates and a wisteria clad pergola lead into the truly idyllic setting of this property and the gardens- which are a particular selling feature of this property. The gardens have been lovingly landscaped by my client, who has created 'rooms' within the garden with various gorgeous seating areas to follow the sun. The beautiful gardens have mature planting and trees, some planted over 50 years ago, well stocked beds and borders, an abundance of soft fruits and a chicken coop. This really is a gardener’s paradise, which needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated.

The location is extremely sought after, a short stroll to the beach itself. Hill Head is one of the region’s most sought after locations, offering its own sailing club and beach. The area is ideal for those with an affinity with the water. Nature lovers will also not be disappointed as Titchfield Haven offers some beautiful countryside walks. The area has a small range of amenities and more comprehensive facilities can be found at nearby Stubbington, whilst Fareham, Portsmouth and Southampton are just a short journey away. The area is well located for A/M27, and main line rail links to London can be found at Fareham or Southampton Parkway. For international and internal flights Southampton Eastleigh airport is also a short drive away.
