Why this property will seduce you
- Historic Village Setting: Nestled within a 6th-century historic village with a 13th-century abbey.
- Listed Georgian Architecture: Grade II listed historic house built on Elizabethan foundations.
- Unique Annex Potential: Planning permission for conversion of coach house into a 2-bedroom cottage.
Willowbank is a striking Grade II listed Georgian family home built on Elizabethan foundations, its mellow red-brick elevations and sash windows fronting directly onto one of Titchfield's most handsome streets. Behind that classic façade lies a house of real depth and Georgian grandeur: two floors of well-proportioned, versatile accommodation extending to some 5525 sq ft in total, arranged around two staircases and full of the period detail — box shutters, broad oak floorboards, fine cornicing, flagstone floors and open fireplaces — that only a house of this age can offer.
The principal rooms include an exceptionally fine 30ft drawing room and a grand dining room, both with French doors opening onto the gardens, together with a study/library, studio, wet room and a Purbeck stone flagged kitchen, pantry, larder and a vaulted cellar and wine store. Upstairs, six bedrooms, a dressing and second study, a family bathroom, 2 shower rooms, a cloakroom and further attic rooms on the second floor.
Recent additions for enhanced modern living, subtly retrofitted by the present owner, include smart electric ceramic heating, a smart AGA and smart electric hot water cylinder whilst sensitively retaining the historic fabric. While the house has scope for updating to suit contemporary family life, its bones — the room proportions, the period detailing, the setting — are exactly what buyers of homes like this are searching for.
Willowbank's naval heritage adds a further layer of character and provenance: past owners have included a First Sea Lord and, most recently, the Commander of the Royal Yacht Britannia — a fitting pedigree for a house just a few miles from the Solent and the home of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth.
**Outside**
The gardens of just under an acre feature a 40 ft Hartley Botanic glasshouse, magnificent Magnolia and Yew trees, perennial borders, a prolific apple, pear and quince orchard, a secret walled garden, edged by the River Meon. Useful outbuildings include a separate garage, a brick sheep pen, piggeries and wood store.
A private cobbled courtyard with vehicular access from Mill Street leads to a former coach house and stables with planning consent dated 23rd October 2025 for conversion to 1256 sq ft 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage with kitchen and living room on the ground floor. A link to the full planning consent can be found on the Fareham Borough Council planning portal under the MEDIA tab above.
The Setting
Willowbank sits in the heart of Titchfield, a historic village dating back to the 6th century and centred on the ruins of its 13th-century abbey. The village offers an appealing mix of independent shops, cafés, pubs and a strong community feel, along with easy access to the sailing waters of the Solent via the Hamble, Gosport and Portsmouth. Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve and the beach at Meon Shore are both within easy reach on foot along the canal dug by monks to transport their produce from the Abbey to Hill Head Harbour.
Families are well served locally, with West Hill Park and Boundary Oak among the independent schools nearby, alongside grammar schools in Southampton and Portsmouth. For commuters, Fareham station is about 2 miles away, with the M27 providing swift access to Southampton, Portsmouth and, via the M3, London.
