Newtown, Wickham, Hampshire, PO17

The perfect family home with paddocks, pool and tennis court

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
The Glebe House is a fabulous, period family home that dates back to about 1840 and built in a Georgian style with a number of later additions. The original school room, now a cosy sitting room off the kitchen, dates back to 1851. The property is not Listed. The front façade of the seven-bedroom house is very attractive and throughout the home there is an abundance of natural light through the large sash windows, spacious rooms with high ceilings on both floors, Chesney fireplaces throughout, and remotely operated and integrated systems for Sonos sound, Lutron lighting, heating, alarm, CCTV and hot water, all supported by a 1Gbps fibre optic cable. Overall, the house has been finished to an exceptionally high standard with great attention to detail.

There is an outdoor swimming pool and pool house (that is future-proofed for conversion into a self-contained, one-bedroom annexe – subject to planning consents), a tennis court and wonderful garden, grounds and paddocks. The house sits centrally within its land and is nicely protected and cocooned with privacy, peace and quiet. The neighbouring church adds to the feeling of peace and tranquillity. The property extends to about 10 acres and there has been (recently lapsed) planning permission for a home office/games room and/or a two- bedroom cottage within the grounds, under reference 22/01895/FUL dated 04 Nov 2022.
