Rockstone House, Titchfield Village

A rare opportunity to acquire a much-loved Grade II listed Georgian residence dating back to 1760’s, with a most handsome façade, with sash windows and a semi circular portico protecting the front door, complete with its decorative fan light. The outside Courtyard is gated with an area of lawn, a flagstone terrace and extensive driveway parking leading in turn to the Coach House and former stable. My clients have resided at Rockstone House since 1999 and carried out extensive works in 2003 converting the coach house to a garage with accommodation over; this area is accessed from the kitchen via a separate staircase; this is a lovely area in which to sit, relax and entertain. On entering the house you are greeted with oak parquet flooring and an elegant Georgian staircase with a beautiful monkey tail handrail leading you over the three floors. The dual aspect Drawing Room has beautiful high ceilings with exquisite ornate plaster cornicing and built in cupboards and shelving. The Dining Room, which centres on a cast iron fireplace, is adjacent to the Kitchen which has been fitted with bespoke hand painted cabinets, granite worktops and a cream gas Aga. There are four bedrooms and a bathroom in the main house which is complimented by a first floor additional Sitting Room over the coach house, with an adjacent Shower Room, making it suitable for a variety of uses. The property is set in a prominent position within the village making it one of the most iconic residences. Titchfield’s amenities are a short stroll away, but once behind your gates, you enjoy privacy with views over the neighbouring rooftops.

Titchfield itself is a beautiful unspoilt medieval village, home to the oldest Anglo-Saxon church in Hampshire. The village has a thriving community and people flock to the boutique shops, cafes and public houses to enjoy the relaxed and friendly vibe. Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve is on the outskirts of the village where you can walk to Hill Head beach and Meon Shore.
