Are you looking for an individual detached family home set within beautiful mature gardens of approximately 1.75 acres (to be confirmed), offering village living, excellent commuter links and the exciting opportunity to create your dream home?
Highways Lodge is a charming detached residence occupying a delightful edge-of-village position in the sought-after Hampshire village of Micheldever. Set within attractive mature gardens and woodland, this distinctive brick and flint home has been lovingly owned by the same family for many years and offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property with both character and enormous potential.
Its striking Tudor-inspired elevations and mature landscaped gardens immediately create a wonderful first impression, giving the property a timeless country house feel. Bordering a bridleway, the property will particularly appeal to equestrian purchasers seeking direct access to the surrounding Hampshire countryside.
Extended by the current owners during the 1980s, the property now provides approximately 1,330 sq ft of flexible accommodation, with scope to modernise and enhance to suit modern family living. Whether you're looking to create a forever home, a countryside retreat or simply a property where you can add your own style and value, Highways Lodge offers an exceptional opportunity in one of Hampshire's most desirable village settings.
Perfectly positioned for commuters, Micheldever railway station is just a short drive away with direct services to London Waterloo in around an hour, while the historic Cathedral City of Winchester offers an outstanding selection of shopping, restaurants, highly regarded schools and leisure facilities.
Importantly, the property is not Listed, allowing purchasers greater flexibility when considering future improvements, subject to the relevant planning consents where applicable.
About the Property
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers bright, well-proportioned rooms throughout, providing an excellent foundation for modernisation and potential enhancement.
The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a comfortable sitting room, separate dining room and kitchen. The dining room retains the original bread oven, currently concealed behind the dresser, providing a charming reminder of the property's history and character.
Beyond the kitchen is a particularly generous utility room, currently providing excellent storage and laundry space but equally suited as a home office, hobby room or additional reception area. A convenient ground floor shower room further enhances the versatility of the layout.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all served by a family bathroom.
Whilst the property would now benefit from cosmetic updating, it has clearly been a well-loved home and offers purchasers the exciting opportunity to refurbish and personalise to their own tastes. With neighbouring homes demonstrating the quality that can be achieved in this desirable location, Highways Lodge represents a fantastic opportunity to create a truly special family home.
Outside
One of Highways Lodge's greatest assets is its delightful setting and grounds.
Approached via a gravel driveway, the property sits comfortably within established gardens of approximately 1.75 acres (to be confirmed), creating an attractive and private environment. Mature woodland, established planting and a large courtyard provide plenty of space for children to play, entertaining family and friends or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
A collection of useful outbuildings includes former dog kennels, a single derelict stable and a storage shed, providing excellent storage and offering future potential, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The upper lawn is enhanced by two mature apple trees together with a plum tree, while a pear tree graces the front garden, adding seasonal colour and complementing the property's established setting.
Bordering a bridleway, Highways Lodge is particularly attractive to equestrian purchasers, offering immediate access to scenic riding routes through the surrounding Hampshire countryside.
A charming original well forms an attractive feature on the patio, adding further character to the garden and reflecting the property's heritage.
The edge-of-village position combines the best of both worlds, offering immediate access to the Hampshire countryside whilst remaining within easy reach of local amenities and excellent transport connections.
Situation
Micheldever is one of Hampshire’s most sought-after villages, offering a welcoming community surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside.
The village is particularly popular with commuters thanks to nearby Micheldever railway station, providing direct services to London Waterloo, whilst Winchester is only a short drive away and offers an outstanding range of shopping, restaurants, cafés, leisure facilities and highly regarded schools.
The surrounding area provides excellent walking, cycling and riding routes together with easy access to the South Downs National Park. Road connections via the A34 and M3 place Basingstoke, Southampton, Newbury and London all within comfortable reach, making this an exceptionally well-connected rural location.
