Haslar Road, Gosport

A truly stunning Grade II listed building with origins dating back to the 1800s. The history of this building is fascinating; originally a well house with two well shafts pumping water to the nearby Haslar Hospital, later the building became the boiler house supplying the power, hot water and steam to the laundry room at the hospital. My client purchased the building 8 years ago, employing Prichard Architects to oversee the extensive renovation works. Pritchard Architects are a heritage led architectural practice with experience in heritage projects across the region ranging from military forts and structures to historic ships. They understood the heritage values and the historic development of the complex which enabled them to make informed decisions about the repairs and alterations. Careful conservation work was undertaken to the historic fabric, and the roof repaired and returned to a slate covered roof as originally built. Internally new additions were inserted to create mezzanine floors while still maintaining areas of double high volume. The mezzanines are independently supported by a steel frame to make sure the historic fabric of the building remains intact. The result is a spectacular residence offering extensive accommodation extending to just over 6000 sq ft with various open plan areas, all with an industrial feel with exposed brick, steel and glorious bespoke arched doors and windows. The quality of the interior fittings is exceptional with a contemporary kitchen with extensive cupboards, corian worktops and a range of integral appliances. The reception space is impressive and extensive, benefiting from double height ceilings. A staircase leads to the first floor where there are, currently, two bedrooms both with ensuite facilities. Once the renovation works are complete there will be an additional two bedrooms, again both with ensuite facilities, in addition to a one bedroom cottage. Externally the courtyard garden is extensive with ample parking. Again, once renovation works are complete, there will be a four car barn and adjacent store.
