5 bed detached house for sale

Chilcomb Winchester, Hampshire SO21

A beautifully presented family home in the heart of the South Downs.

Set within the idyllic and tightly knit village of Chilcomb, this beautifully maintained four or five bedroom family residence offers the perfect blend of rural tranquillity and elegant living. Situated a short drive east of Winchester, this charming hamlet - characterised by its lack of through traffic and warm, respectful community - provides a peaceful retreat amidst the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park.

Chilcomb enjoys a coveted position along the renowned South Downs Way, a favourite among walkers and nature lovers. Despite its rural setting, the village remains highly accessible, with excellent transport links via the A31, A34 and nearby M3 motorway. Southampton lies just 12 miles away, and the area is well-regarded for its proximity to some of the country's top-performing schools.

Approached via a private gravel “in and out” driveway, Chilcomb Manor is an impressive family home surrounded by wrap-around gardens and enjoying panoramic views over its own 2 acre paddock and the sweeping South Downs beyond. There is also a double garage with an upstairs chill-out space which is ideal for teenagers.

The spacious entrance porch opens into a grand hallway, setting the tone for the refined interior. Generously proportioned, light-filled reception rooms flow effortlessly throughout the ground floor, each benefiting from double-aspect views and creating a harmonious living space ideal for both family life and entertaining. Positioned at the front of the property, the home office enjoys tranquil views across the paddock. This private and peaceful space is ideal for remote working, offering a quiet retreat away from the main living areas.

Period features - including oak panelling, solid wood flooring, and a magnificent staircase - infuse the home with timeless charm, while tasteful modern updates bring comfort and convenience to everyday living.

Upstairs, the first floor boasts four to five spacious bedrooms, most with dual-aspect windows framing stunning views of the landscaped gardens and surrounding countryside. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms, and a luxurious family bathroom serves the remaining rooms.

Enhancements by the current owners include the addition of a spacious family room, a double garage with store room attached, and recent refurbishments to both the kitchen and bathrooms - ensuring the home is ready to meet the needs of modern family life.

The gardens, which were professionally landscaped in 2019, have been lovingly nurtured and cherished - an evolving space that has provided both adventure and sanctuary. From children’s games on the lawn to quiet evenings by the pond, it offers something for every season of life. A wildflower meadow has been added and a well-positioned garden bench provides a perfect spot to bask in the evening sun.

An additional paddock opposite the property presents a superb opportunity for equestrian enthusiasts or those with smallholding interests. This well-maintained, level paddock features recently installed sheep-proof fencing, offering both security and usability. The surrounding countryside is ideal for off-road riding, with peaceful country lanes leading to a network of bridleways - perfect for exploring the beauty of the South Downs at your own pace.

Chilcomb’s close-knit community is brought to life through its annual church fête, regular services at the historic St Andrew’s Church, and a calendar of local events that foster a vibrant village spirit.
