A unique country house

Local developer and builder Osmer Building Ltd of Andover are offering Upham Place and a unique opportunity to purchase a large country house in its own manageable grounds in the beautiful Hampshire countryside with extensive, uninterrupted views towards the south coast.

Upham Place has been designed by award winning Robert Adam Architects which, together with its garaging and accommodation extends to approximately 6,800 square feet. The property includes 6 bedrooms, five of which have en-suite bathrooms, a kitchen and utility room, breakfast room, dining hall, drawing room, family / media room, office, an impressive south-facing orangery and a large second floor library / landing. Interior designer Angela O’Donnell of the Design Service has designed the bathrooms to be luxurious yet practical.

Much of the internal finishing utilises white oak including the staircase, doors, bookshelves, and some kitchen detailing which contrasts with the generally hand painted cabinets, granite countertops, limestone floor and colour co-ordinated appliances.

Upham Place is set virtually centrally in its 9.4 acres; the award winning landscape designers Hillier Landscapes have designed and extensively planted the grounds with native hedging and specimen trees to create a combination of formal and informal garden areas which include a large paddock and the opportunity to incorporate stabling and a swimming pool or tennis court (subject to the necessary planning consents). There are automated entrance gates, subtle external lighting and a gravel sweep area as one would expect of a property of this calibre.

Colin Osmer the managing director of Osmer Building Ltd is very enthusiastic about Upham Place. “Osmer Building is pleased to be working with some of the best designers in the area to create in Upham Place a unique country house. At this stage of the building process the opportunity exists for the new owners to work with our team to influence the final finishes.”

Guide price is £2.5 million. For more details, contact sole selling agents Dreweatt Neate in Winchester by email at winchester@dnproperty.co.uk.
