6 bed detached house for sale

Exbury Road, Beaulieu SO42

A rare opportunity to acquire a remarkable period house, having been in the same family ownership since the 1960's and set within the Beaulieu Estate. With origins dating back to the 16th century and references in the Domesday Book, the property blends significant history with substantial family accommodation extending to approximately 3,372 sq ft. The welcoming reception hall leads to the principal reception rooms, including a characterful sitting room with inglenook fireplace and garden access. The dining room is equally atmospheric with exposed beams and brickwork, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen/breakfast room provides a sociable heart to the home with fitted units and views over the gardens. A particularly notable feature is the bright library/study, benefiting from a southerly aspect and direct access to a terrace, perfectly positioned to enjoy the surrounding landscape. Upstairs, the accommodation is arranged over two floors, with six bedrooms in total. The principal bedroom includes an en suite bathroom, complemented by two further family bathrooms.

The grounds extend to approximately 5.6 acres, predominantly laid to lawn with open views across the valley and neighbouring countryside. A generous terrace adjoins the house, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining. The property benefits from a number of outbuildings including a substantial garage block with storage above, a converted indoor swimming pool complex, and an impressive historic barn offering significant potential (subject to the relevant consents).
