An exceptionally attractive detached country home, distinguished by its elegant flint and brick elevations and occupying an outstandingly peaceful and private position, with uninterrupted views across some of Hampshire’s most beautiful countryside.

Whitestone House occupies an enviable, peaceful position, surrounded by approximately 0.64 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens. This striking detached family home is particularly attractive, with handsome brick and flint elevations beneath a tiled roof, and enjoys an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity. Its elevated and secluded setting, together with the outstanding views across the surrounding Hampshire countryside, creates a truly special environment.

Approached through electric wooden gates, the property is positioned at the end of a gravelled driveway, providing extensive parking and access to the garaging. The accommodation has been designed with modern family life and entertaining very much in mind. At its heart is an impressive open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, creating a superb hub to the home. The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of storage units and work surfaces, an Everhot electric range, and a central island with breakfast bar. The room provides an inviting setting for everyday living and larger-scale entertaining.

An impressive vaulted reception hall creates an immediate sense of arrival, with a striking chimney breast providing an attractive focal point. The hall flows naturally into an adjoining living area, creating a highly flexible space. A well-positioned home office is ideal for working from home, whilst the first-floor sitting room, with doors opening onto a private balcony, makes the most of the property's wonderful setting. The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive, comprising four/five bedrooms, four of which benefit from ensuite facilities. At second-floor level, a superb media room/gym and steam room provides an excellent additional recreational space.

Outside, the beautifully established grounds are a particular feature of Whitestone House. To the front, neatly arranged lawns are complemented by mature planting and established hedgerows, creating a high degree of privacy and an attractive approach to the house. To the rear, the gardens have been thoughtfully and imaginatively landscaped to create a series of distinct areas from which to enjoy this exceptional setting. A substantial deck extends around the side and rear of the property and cleverly overlooks a pond, creating a wonderful vantage point from which to appreciate the gardens. Steps lead upwards through further beautifully planted areas. At the far end of the garden, a dedicated seating area provides the perfect place to relax.
