Set back from the rural hamlet of Pirbright in a prized conservation area, this impressive property sits ensconced within the tranquillity of 18 picturesque acres. From its classical landscaping and waterside setting through to oak panelled walls. An abundance of character blends effortlessly with contemporary design.

Thought to have once been two individual dwellings, today the main accommodation of Springbrook unfolds over an exceptional 8542sq ft. Tastefully extended from the bones of its original 1800s architecture, a magnificent array of light filled rooms with quintessential leaded windows wrap-around elegant entrance and reception halls. A newly updated oak staircase is delicately lit from the galleried landing above, while its rich timber tones are equally matched by the intricate detailing of exemplary wood panelled walls in the distinguished drawing and games rooms that spark the imagination and transport you back in time.

French doors in a superb double aspect sitting room connect you with the lawns, while a fireplace is framed by the understated luxury of a carved stone mantelpiece. Across the reception hall exposed timber beams stretch out above you in a brilliantly large reception room/office but it is undoubtedly the fluidity and design of a living room and kitchen/dining room that generates somewhere incredibly special for everyone to spend in. With heated stone tiled floor flowing underfoot, this combination of spaces creates an open plan yet delineated feel that's equally suited for day to day life and entertaining. The rustic texture of an exposed brick working fireplace sits perfectly against the backdrop of a feature heritage red wall in the living room, a log burner adds a homely feel to the commodious dining area and an expanse of glazing gives encompassing garden vistas.

Spanning 32'10 x 30'11ft, the superior triple aspect kitchen/dining room makes it irresistibly easy for daily life to filter outside with its French and bi-fold doors. An abundance of painted and beautifully crafted oak Shaker cabinetry is topped with granite and houses both a Rangemaster cooker and matching American-style fridge freezer. Brilliantly broad, a spacious central island offers a wealth of bar stool seating and together with the glass splashback of the cooker its trio of mid-century pendants perfectly pick out the feature reds of the adjoining living room.

Separate utility, boot, boiler and cloak rooms are finer details that make life easy, while the reception room/office and games room both tempt you into the peace and restfulness of a conservatory that once again proffers every excuse to step out onto secluded terracing.

The outstanding sense of space is echoed upstairs where a grand total of eight bedrooms supply a choice of accommodation for family and guests. Generating its own private wing, a marvellous principal bedroom sits in a gently elevated position that can be discreetly accessed from a second staircase. Double doors open onto an enviably expansive room that has a fitted dressing room, deluxe en suite and an apex bay where French doors with a Juliet balcony give the ideal vantage point to admire your surroundings. Three further double bedrooms have equally impressive en suites of their own and include one with a spiral staircase to a secret room on the second floor. Four additional bedrooms share a refined family bathroom. A laundry room completes the layout.

It's good to note, that this oil powered home includes underfloor heating. Its first class appointment includes a thermal store that takes its energy from the solar panels and log burner before using any oil.

Outside

Lined by the majestic form of statuesque trees, a sweeping driveway instantly engenders a sense of grandeur and exclusivity leading you from Gapemouth Road past capacious lawns and the graceful symmetry of the parterre. Utterly breathtaking, the tree line stretches out for as far as the eye can see uniting seamlessly with those of the surrounding landscape and lending a wonderfully verdant change of colour through the seasons.

Offering 18 acres of tranquillity and naturally hidden from passers-by, these immense grounds are bordered to one edge by the waters of the Basingstoke Canal and have lapsed planning permission for a two bedroom annexe.

Wrapping around the house, secluded terracing provides every opportunity to sit, recline or dine in the sunshine. Take a stroll and you'll discover a considerable outdoor swimming pool tucked away within a stunning backdrop of topiary, trees and lawns. Ten feet deep and paired with a heat pump, it provides a truly idyllic place to sit and dip your toes or take a plunge and enhance your daily workout. A detached outbuilding with a pool house, gym and cloakroom sits conveniently close by.

Detached quadruple garaging sits discreetly out of sight.
