6 bed detached house for sale

Christchurch Road BH24

Netherbrook House is a distinguished Grade II listed home with origins dating back to the early 18th century and having masses of potential to remodel/improve. This extraordinary, period home was originally built in 1703 and subsequently enhanced with tasteful additions in the 19th and 20th centuries, now offering around 7000 sq ft of space. It presents a rare, dual-use opportunity, successfully combining residential living with a commercial use, having previously been arranged as a private home alongside a well-established antiques business.

This striking character property and its separate Coach House/outbuildings retains a wealth of original and period features, including a historically significant fireplace that was commissioned for a former owner, adding to the home’s unique charm and heritage appeal.

The ground floor was previously arranged for commercial use, comprising a fabulous, flagstone entrance hall and part oak-panelled walls, setting an immediate sense of its character and charm. From here, stairs wind their way to the first-floor accommodation. To the front are two impressive reception rooms featuring elegant bay windows and original fireplaces, one of which is of particular historical significance. In addition to these impressive rooms are four further, flexible reception/work rooms, a boiler room and a 260 sq ft basement/cellar. A rear hall leads through to a conservatory and an incredible 40’ workshop.

The first floor accommodates the main living quarters, comprising two bath/shower rooms (suites removed), an empty kitchen space and six separate rooms, offering huge scope to remodel, creating a magnificent home.

Stairs from the first floor landing rise to a second floor, formerly staff accommodation, where there are three additional bedrooms and a further shower room (suite removed), providing ample additional space for family living or guests.

Externally, the property is approached through remotely operated gates from Christchurch Road, leading to a generous parking forecourt and access to several very useful outbuildings. These attractive outbuildings appear to be former coach houses/stables (around 1600 sq ft) and offer considerable potential for a variety of uses, including storage, workshops or ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. The gardens are partly walled and provide a high degree of privacy and seclusion, which belies the Town Centre location of this outstanding property.

Agents note: Due to building works that have been undertaken at the property there are some hazards throughout which make the property unsuitable for younger viewers, it is advised that Children to not enter the property.
