Dunbridge Road, Lockerley, Romsey, Hampshire, SO51

A traditional farmhouse immersed in nature that has been extensively modernised to create a cosy family home within The Test Valley.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Canefield Farmhouse is the most fabulous and spacious family home. The original farmhouse dates back to 1775 and there have been significant improvements and extensions both in 2007 and 2019 that include updates to the plumbing, heating, and electrical systems. There is Cat 6 network cabling, a video security system and a wireless music system. The kitchen has been designed and fitted by Chalon. It is not Listed.
In addition to the eight-bedroom house there are a two-bedroom cottage, sauna/ steam room, artist studio, stabling, further outbuildings, tennis court and indoor swimming pool. The latter is in need of renovating. The surrounding grounds are rich in wildlife, with tawny owls and barn owls known to inhabit the nearby area, adding to the property’s sense of tranquillity and rural charm.

The principal property (including the rear “green lane” track) extends to about 4.11 acres. An additional 32 acres of paddock, pasture and woodland are also owned and are available for sale by separate negotiation.
