Stable complex
A truly unique opportunity to purchase an idyllic country residence set in a stunning and private location in the New Forest village of Bramshaw. The property is set in grounds extending to approximately 0.75 acres and further benefits from stabling and direct forest access.
The Situation
Bramshaw is one of the most attractive New Forest villages, providing an excellent range of facilities, including a village hall, church, village shop, two country public houses, a hotel, restaurants, garage and the renowned Bramshaw Golf Club with two 18-hole courses. The area is renowned for its excellent schools including Chafyn Grove, Sailsbury Cathedral School and Godolphin in Salisbury, whilst there is also The Gregg and King Edward School at Southampton; Hampshire Collegiate at Embley Park, Winchester College and St Swithuns.
Bramshaw is also well placed for access to local towns and cities including Romsey (7 miles), Salisbury (13 miles), Southampton (15 miles), and Winchester (18 miles). Southampton International Airport (13 miles) offers excellent links to Continental Europe with the Airport Parkway station connecting to London Waterloo in a little over an hour.
The New Forest offers thousands of acres of unspoilt moors, heath and woodland for those with walking and equestrian pursuits. For those with interests in yachting Hamble, Lymington and Poole are all within easy driving distance.
The Property
Having been sympathetically restored and extensively enhanced by the current owners, Wicksmoor Farmhouse is a charming period country home offering an exceptional blend of character, contemporary comfort and practical family living. Extending to almost 2,800 sq ft, the property occupies a private and secluded position at the head of a National Trust track in the heart of Penn Common, set within approximately 0.75 acres of beautifully maintained gardens and grounds, with a turnout paddock, stabling and direct access to the open forest.
Originally constructed of cob with later brick elevations, the farmhouse retains an abundance of period features, including exposed beams and wall timbers, flagstone flooring and a magnificent Inglenook fireplace. The sitting room provides a particularly welcoming reception space, featuring an impressive brick Inglenook fireplace with a woodburning stove, complemented by attractive terracotta flooring and decorative wall panelling, creating a room full of character and charm.
The ground floor has been thoughtfully reconfigured to provide an enhanced sense of space and flow, with an enlarged dining room offering an excellent setting for family gatherings and entertaining. The beautifully refurbished kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with elegant quartz work surfaces, a new electric Aga and Belling ovens, and enjoys a triple aspect with delightful views across the gardens towards the common.
A superb timber and glass garden room provides a further versatile reception space, ideal for relaxation and entertaining, with French doors opening directly onto the gardens. A bespoke home office, complete with fitted workstation, storage and an attractive ceiling lantern, creates a practical and appealing workspace.
Further improvements include a newly created boot room and cloakroom, together with a well-appointed pantry with built-in large freezer and a small fridge, and a separate utility room, providing excellent storage and everyday functionality. Throughout, the accommodation has been carefully enhanced to create a characterful yet highly practical family home.
The first floor offers four characterful bedrooms and two bathrooms. A particularly versatile arrangement provides the option of a generous principal bedroom with a separate dressing room, or two individual bedrooms, both benefiting from quality fitted wardrobes. This area is served by a beautifully appointed, recently installed bathroom. The remaining bedrooms feature bespoke window shutters, individually chosen to complement the colour scheme of each room.
Further improvements include the installation of a new thatched ridge in 2020 and extensive internal redecoration over the past year, creating a fresh and cohesive finish throughout. The property further benefits from CCTV and an alarm system.
