Soldridge House, Soldridge, Medstead, Hampshire

A period home of considerable character, Soldridge House is one of the oldest homes in the area having been built circa 1820. The property enjoys a private and secluded location, being surrounded by lawned grounds with mature trees and hedging. The original house has elegantly proportioned rooms, with period features including sash windows, high ceilings and skirtings. More recently, the house has been modernised and a wonderful kitchen/dining room extension has been added, which opens directly to the garden.

The house is approached via a gravelled driveway, with a path to the front door, which opens to a long entrance hall. The accommodation on the ground floor  includes an elegant drawing room with a fireplace, a study, family room and sizeable sitting room. The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, which features a lantern roof and a range of bespoke kitchen units with a matching island and ample space for dining. A utility and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Stairs from the sitting room lead up to the principal first floor bedroom, which features a sizeable ensuite bathroom. A second staircase from the hall leads up to the other bedrooms, two of which are double rooms, one having an ensuite shower room. There is a linen cupboard and family bathroom off the landing with access to the good sized loft space.

The house sits within attractive gardens of 1.09 acres, which wrap around the property giving it a good deal of privacy and seclusion.
