5 bed detached house for sale

Dunwood Hill, East Wellow, Romsey, Hampshire SO51

Occupying an exceptional plot and enjoying a remarkable degree of privacy and seclusion, this distinguished family home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial residence in a truly enchanting setting.

Further enhancing its appeal is the option, by separate negotiation, to purchase the surrounding woodland, comprising five individual parts, each with its own title deed. Together, these create a magical natural environment and an extraordinary extension to an already impressive estate. Lovingly owned and cherished by the same family for over 40 years, the property occupies an elevated position above the road, affording a wonderful sense of tranquillity and a delightful outlook across its grounds.

Extending to over 3,000 sq ft, the accommodation has evolved thoughtfully over time from its original bungalow design to provide a highly versatile five-bedroom home ideally suited to modern family living. Natural light floods the beautifully proportioned, multi-aspect rooms, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout. At the heart of the home is an impressive kitchen designed and fitted by Smallbone and equipped with an aga, electric oven and Amana fridge with a dining room extending to more than 26 feet in length, offering an excellent space for both everyday family life and entertaining on a larger scale. The generous sitting room enjoys an attractive bay window and picturesque views across the surrounding grounds, while a separate study provides the ideal environment for home working.

The ground floor accommodation is particularly flexible, featuring a spacious double bedroom with a luxurious five-piece en-suite bathroom, alongside a utility room and separate WC. This arrangement lends itself perfectly to guest accommodation, multi-generational living or those seeking the convenience of predominantly single-level living.

The first floor provides four further well-proportioned bedrooms, including an impressive principal suite extending to over 20 feet in length. A substantial second bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room and useful eaves storage, while the remaining bedrooms offer excellent versatility for family, guests or additional workspace. In total, three bedrooms enjoy en-suite facilities, complemented by further bathroom accommodation and five WC facilities throughout the home.

Recently redecorated and presented in excellent order, the property is ready for immediate occupation whilst still offering exciting scope for a new owner to personalise and enhance according to their own tastes and requirements. The grounds are undoubtedly among the property's most captivating features. Beautifully established and wonderfully private, they provide an idyllic backdrop to family life and outdoor enjoyment. Nestled within the grounds is a charming BBQ hut, creating a unique and atmospheric setting for year-round entertaining and memorable gatherings with family and friends.

Practicality is equally well considered, with a garage providing useful storage and secure parking, while the elevated position of the house further enhances the sense of peace and exclusivity. Combining generous and adaptable accommodation, exceptional grounds and a rich family heritage, this is a home of genuine character, warmth and substance. Offering privacy, space and immense potential within a breathtaking woodland setting, it represents a rare opportunity to create a forever home in one of the area's most enchanting and sought-after locations.
