Creator: Le Figaro Properties

Overview
Taking its name from a neighbouring Iron Age hillfort, Woolbury is a bold example of contemporary country house design, built in 2004 and combining architectural flair with relaxed family living. The main house provides close to 6,100 square feet of bright, versatile accommodation spread over three floors, while an additional 3,450 square feet of outbuildings houses a self-contained studio flat and stabling for up to six horses.
Grounds and Outbuildings
The property sits amid professionally landscaped grounds and fenced paddocks, offering a true blend of indoor and outdoor living. A gravel driveway leads to ample parking and a detached double garage, topped by an independent studio suited to guests, live-in staff, or home working. The gardens are arranged over two lawned tiers, framed by established hedging and generous planting, while a raised water feature and a two-level terrace — already wired for lighting and audio — provide separate areas for entertaining and quiet relaxation. From the garden, the outlook extends over the 1,400-acre Heath Estate in the Test Valley, with direct footpath access onto Stockbridge Downs.
Equestrian Facilities
Separate from the house, the equestrian facilities include an American barn-style building with six Loddon loose boxes, a tack room, and an enclosed area for grooming and tacking up, together with a floodlit, all-weather menage and 4 paddocks bordered by post-and-rail fencing.
A further outbuilding provides a kitchenette, WC, and storage space, which also houses a full-size backup generator with automatic changeover to maintain power during outages. An open-fronted barn adds further flexibility for private use, livery, or potential future commercial ventures.
Accommodation
Inside, an oval-shaped entrance hall sets an impressive tone, rising up through the house beneath a staircase built from timber treads, glass panelling, and a stainless steel rail. The ground floor includes a study fitted with high-speed internet wiring and French doors to the front garden, a cloakroom for visitors, a dining room ideally suited to entertaining guests, and a triple-aspect games room with its own corner fireplace.
Formwork Architects designed the kitchen and breakfast area, built around a substantial island and curved breakfast bar, complemented by an AGA, integrated appliances, and a walk-in pantry. This space opens into an eye-catching conservatory topped by a mono-pitch glass roof, featuring an internal balcony on the first floor and French doors leading to the terrace. Completing the ground floor are a laundry room, boot room, cloakroom and separate rear entrance, with underfloor heating extending throughout the entire property.
The first floor centres on a spacious landing that opens into a triple-aspect sitting room with far-reaching Test Valley views and a corner fireplace of its own. The principal bedroom suite includes a private balcony overlooking the stables, a fitted dressing room, and an en suite bathroom with both a walk-in shower and separate spa bath. Two additional bedrooms — one featuring a private balcony, the other offering substantial wardrobe storage — share access to a well-fitted family bathroom with a separate shower.
A stone spiral staircase rises to the top floor, where the roof line creates a dramatic vaulted ceiling. Here, two further double bedrooms with fitted storage sit near a family shower room and a light-filled gallery space — ideal as a home gym or reading room — positioned above the sitting room below. A glass-enclosed walkway in a stainless steel frame connects these spaces, serving as a striking design feature that draws natural light throughout the upper level.
Location and Amenities
Positioned in the heart of the Test Valley and adjoining the expansive 1,400-acre Heath Estate, Woolbury combines peaceful rural surroundings with strong transport links. Stockbridge Down lies close by, and the cities of Winchester and Salisbury — along with road, rail, and air connections to London and further afield — are all within easy reach.
The nearby town of Stockbridge is renowned as a hub for trout fishing on the world-famous River Test, and today features an appealing collection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and pubs, plus a respected butcher and local inn. Local schooling is strong, spanning Stockbridge Primary and Danebury Secondary School (previously Test Valley Secondary), as well as several independent options including Farleigh, Embley, Godolphin, Pilgrims', St Swithun's, and Winchester College.
Commuters benefit from quick access to the A303 and M3 via the A30, and direct trains from Winchester or Micheldever reach London Waterloo in as little as 57 minutes. Beyond the property, the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking, riding, and cycling routes, along with some of the finest trout fishing to be found on the River Test.

Maidenstone Heath is one of the most historically significant private residences in Hampshire - a substantial period house of medieval origin set within approximately 3.5 acres of landscaped grounds on the west bank of the River Hamble, with its own private lake, a detached one-bedroom cottage, boathouse and double garage, extending in total to over 8,200 square feet across the main house, annexe and outbuildings. Offering five principal bedrooms, three bathrooms, five reception rooms and a suite of first-floor offices, it presents a rare combination of historic provenance, generous family accommodation and practical workspace in one of Bursledon's most secluded and sought-after positions. The name Maidenstone Heath appears in the historical record as far back as 1353, when a deed recorded a grant of land at the site, and the estate is known to have supported a settled community from at least the 14th century - possibly earlier. The Oysel, Sonday, Blundell and Spencer Smith families are all woven into its story across six centuries, and the property lane itself - Blundell Lane, understood to follow the course of an ancient Saxon drove road to. Winchester - bears the name of the family who owned the estate for much of the 19th century. The core of the present house is understood to date from the 16th century, and the estate retains a quality of timelessness rare in a property so close to both the motorway and the city. Approached via a long, sweeping private drive that curves through mature planting to a broad gravelled sweep in front of the house, the setting immediately conveys the seclusion and scale of the property. The house sits well back from the lane, screened by established trees, and the front grounds open directly towards the River Hamble, with views across the water from the principal elevations. The architecture is characterful and unhurried - warm brickwork, generous proportions and a rhythm of tall sash windows reflecting the Victorian-era improvements that shaped the house into the substantial residence it is today. Accommodation The ground floor is arranged around a generous central lobby, from which the principal reception rooms unfold with a natural sense of flow. Five distinct reception spaces serve a variety of purposes: a sitting room of considerable proportions (just over 24 feet in length), a formal dining room of similar scale, an elegant drawing room extending to over 28 feet - the largest room in the house and a natural venue for entertaining - and a quieter reading room[KM1.1]. A fully equipped gym completes the ground-floor reception accommodation, occupying a well-proportioned room adjoining the kitchen wing. The kitchen and breakfast room lies at the heart of the domestic side of the house, with space for both a cooking and dining area, and connects directly to a utility room of practical scale. The rear section of the first floor has been thoughtfully arranged as a self-contained working environment, with four separate offices of varying sizes, served by their own circulation space and entirely separate in character from the residential accommodation at the front. This arrangement — professional yet private, integrated yet discreet - makes Maidenstone Heath genuinely suitable for those running a significant business from home without compromise to family life. The residential first floor is entered from the main staircase and opens onto a broad landing serving the principal bedroom suite, which is exceptionally generous at nearly 18 by 17 feet, with a dedicated dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a family shower room complete this level, together with a versatile playroom. The second floor provides two further bedrooms - both good doubles - alongside a cosy snug ideal for a sitting room or quiet retreat, and a four-piece bathroom of notable quality. A terrace[KM2.1] is also accessed from this level, providing an elevated outdoor space with views across the grounds. The Cottage Set within the grounds and entirely independent of the main house, the detached annexe offers an open-plan lounge and kitchen, a bedroom and Two bathroom[KM3.1]s, one with a bath and another with a shower - well suited to use as a guest suite, staff accommodation or a source of rental income. It adds a further 678 square feet to the overall accommodation. Grounds and Outbuildings The grounds extend to approximately 3.5 acres and have been landscaped to make the most of the waterside position. A private boating lake sits within the grounds - an extraordinary feature for a residential property - with a substantial boathouse extending to approximately 1,000 square feet, offering excellent storage and convenient access to the nearby waterfront. The sweeping driveway is itself a statement arrival, with established planting on either side giving the approach a sense of ceremony. Ample off-road parking is provided. A substantial outbuilding - nearly 1,000 square feet across two floors, with a barn and store - provides considerable scope for further workshop, storage or conversion, subject to consent. The front grounds enjoy open views over the River Hamble, with the changing light on the water forming a constant and captivating backdrop throughout the day. A public footpath from Blundell Lane runs north along the river directly into the River Hamble Country Park, providing immediate access to miles of walking along the shoreline without setting foot on a road. Location Bursledon occupies the western bank of the River Hamble at a point where the river widens before its estuary, and the village has been shaped by that relationship with the water across many centuries. The Jolly Sailor, one of Hampshire's most celebrated waterside pubs, and the nearby Elephant Boatyard - where vessels including HMS Elephant were built - are among the landmarks that recall the area's long shipbuilding and maritime heritage. The river itself offers sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and fishing, and the Hamble is one of the most active sailing waters on the south coast. For everyday needs, the village has a good range of local facilities, and both Waitrose and Marks & Spencer are within easy reach. The River Hamble Country Park provides further open space and recreational amenity. The Hamble Sports Complex offers gym, pool and court facilities nearby. Southampton city centre is approximately 4.5 miles by road, with West Quay shopping centre, extensive dining, museums, galleries and cultural venues all accessible within a short drive. Southampton Airport is 6.6 miles from the property. Commuters are well served: Bursledon railway station is just 0.3 miles away, with services to Southampton Central in around 21 minutes and London Waterloo in approximately 1 hour 10 minutes via Southampton Airport Parkway. The M27 Junction 8 is 1.5 miles from the property, connecting directly to the M3 for London.

Benedict House is a spacious family home, built in 1986. Today it is surrounded by a wrap-around garden enclosed on three sides by mature hedges and trees, with post-and-rail fencing along the long fourth side allowing far-reaching views across the fields to the Walbury and Coombe Hills. The house has mostly southerly and westerly aspects, making it a light, bright home. “We've been here for 35 years. The family has grown as we've been here. We came here with three children. Now we've got three children and eight grandchildren. It's a wonderful family house because they can all find their own little space. “It's been a really lovely home to be in.” Entrance hall On entering, you’re welcomed into a spacious, light-filled entrance hall with a galleried landing. Space and light permeate throughout this lovely family home. “It's a very spacious house with a wonderful flow. All the rooms flow into each other downstairs. You can walk right round , which is great. It makes for a nice sociable area. We've had lots of drinks parties here, and everybody gets everywhere.” From the entrance hall, the house flows to the five reception rooms, kitchen/breakfast room, utility, cloakroom and garage, and upstairs to the eight bedrooms. Study Off the entrance hall, with views over the front drive, is the study – a nicely sized room with a wide window, ideal for working from home. Sitting room Filled with light from the wide south- and west-facing with two set of patio doors and a large window, this elegant sitting room has a feature brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, and three different points of access onto the patio and gardens beyond. “It’s lovely to go for a long ramble and then come back and light the log burner. The view from the room is stunning. To one side you look out onto the enclosed lawn, to the other, dual aspects give far-reaching views across the field to the hills in the distance. The elegant proportions and flow of this home make it perfect for entertaining. In the sitting room alone, you’ve plenty of room for matching sofas, armchairs and accompanying furniture as well as a baby grand piano. Billiards room Space, light – thanks to the dual aspect, double windows and French doors onto the patio, and a feature brick fireplace make this a lovely room to spend time in. Currently used as a billiards room with full size snooker table, this could also be a home gym, cinema room, studio or even a home consulting space. “The billiards room is a super place. I've got seven grandsons, and they congregate in there. I mean, I didn’t want a snooker table , but the boys love it.” Family room Next to the kitchen is the well-used family room, with space to unwind in front of the TV or sit quietly with a book by one of the many windows. French doors on two aspects ensure you can enjoy a flow of fresh air on hot summer days. Dining room The dining room offers both an intimate dining environment and a highly sociable space, thanks to its proportions and connectivity – doors on all four sides lead into the kitchen, hallway, sitting room and through French doors, the patio and garden beyond. “On a warm evening, we used to just sit on the patio outside the dining room, and my husband always – I could almost guarantee it – he would sit there with a glass of wine and say, ‘This is a lovely spot, isn't it?’ And it is. It is a lovely spot.” Kitchen/breakfast room The space where most family life happens is big, light, thoughtfully laid out and well equipped. Windows and French doors look out on three sides, making this a lovely light-filled space. The breakfast bar cleverly divides the room, creating zones while maintaining a connected, sociable space. “Everybody congregates in the kitchen. As they do in most houses if you have a decent-sized kitchen.” In the kitchen you have a double sink, two single ovens, two dishwashers, fridge and plenty of counter surface and storage space. There is also a waste disposal and water filter. The dining area can comfortably accommodate a long refectory table, with space for armchairs to soak up the view. “I love my nice big kitchen. I’ve got two chairs by the patio doors that look straight out onto Walbury Hill over the field. There's always something going on, boxing hares, visiting roe deer and birds. It's a lovely place to sit with a morning coffee.” Utility room Bigger than many kitchens, the utility room provides plentiful additional storage, a double sink and laundry space with plumbing for two washing machines. A stable style door leads out to the garden and second parking area. This also serves as a wonderful boot room, perfect for returning home from a ramble in the countryside. “I had a golden retriever, a big dog. Thankfully I've also got a very big utility room, and it's the most wonderful place for wet dogs. It's all tiled. He knew to stay there until he’d dried off. It's a super place.” There is also a good-sized walk-in pantry WC A well-appointed WC is located between the utility room and the garage. Garage Connected to the house, via a lockable door, is the double garage with electric up-and-over door, lighting and power as well as a water softener. A door to the back of the garage leads into the garden. UPSTAIRS The staircase takes you up to a long hallway with eight bedrooms, two of which are ensuite, and two bathrooms. There is also eaves storage and a couple of charming window nooks, perfect for an occasional table or an easy chair. Principal ensuite bedroom The lovely wide, two windows provide dual aspects for this spacious king-sized bedroom. It has his and hers built-in wardrobes, one of which is walk -in and an adjoining en-suite shower room. The fully tiled ensuite has a thermostatically controlled shower, a close-coupled WC and a hand basin with vanity unit. A tall, chromed ladder-style towel rail dries and warms towels. Ensuite bedroom two A spacious king-sized room, North and West views out to the front of the house, that capture the rising and setting sun. With built-in triple wardrobes keeping the floor space to a maximum, there’s plenty of space for as much or as little bedroom furniture as you like, with additional storage in the eaves. The ensuite shower room is fully tiled, with a fully tiled shower enclosure, a close-coupled WC, hand basin and white ladder-style towel rail. Bedrooms three to eight Lining the southern side of the house, all rooms have built-in wardrobes and far-reaching views across the field to the hills beyond. The smallest a good size still with built in wardrobe space, the largest being a spacious king-sized room with windows on two aspects. Bathrooms Two bathrooms, both with showers and bath, WC and hand basin, serve the bedrooms. Landing There is a large landing with a large airing cupboard and ample eaves storage. Outside “It’s the first garden I've ever had where the sun has just been just right.” Benedict House is encircled by garden. Three sides are surrounded by high mature hedges that create a wonderful feeling of privacy and seclusion, the fourth side has a post-and-rail fence that ensures unbroken views across the neighbouring field to the hills beyond. “The garden gets the sun all day. It comes up over the pond area and then goes all the way round and, as it goes down in the west, you still get the sun in the evening.” “We get lots of birds including goldfinches. Some woodpeckers nest every year in the trees just up by the field, and kites nest in the wood just past us. It's lovely.” Within the garden are areas that come into their own at different times of the day or for different purposes. To the west side of the house is a large area of lawn. “There's enough grass for the kids to play cricket and badminton or whatever. My hot tub is there as well. So the kids liked to have that as their little area.” To the south side, a patio runs along the length of the house, accessed from the kitchen, dining and sitting room – perfect for when entertaining or dining alfresco. “In the early evening, my husband and I used to love having a glass of wine on the patio outside the dining room if it was nice, looking out. It was just so peaceful. It's so quiet here. Beyond the fence is either just sheep or grass.” To the east side, a covered area beside a pretty pond. “There's a lovely little seating area opposite the pond, which is a nice, quiet, relaxing place to sit, with the sound of the water trickling down the waterfall.” “It’s a nice, sheltered spot, which in all this very hot weather we've had, has been lovely. A breeze comes down off the hill, making it a wonderfully cool place to sit.” Across the back of the house, a mature wisteria provides stunning trailing colour in the summer, while planting at the front adds splashes of colour. “I have a lovely Japanese wisteria which we put in 34 years ago, , it's a really beautiful one. I also have three camellias at the front. I’ll miss them, but somebody else will enjoy them.” Within the garden, a mix of pots, beds and fruit trees provide colour, interest and, in good years, plenty of fruit – if you’ve ever dreamt of making jam or enjoy home baking, this garden should provide. “I've had a most wonderful crop of Victoria plums. We haven’t had as many apples this year as last year. But the plums are absolutely wonderful this year. I’ve been giving them away left, right and centre.” Parking The house has two approaches from the lane: the first via the main driveway to the front of the house, where there’s a double garage and parking for about 4/5 cars, with another entrance just beyond this to the side of the house, where there’s additional parking for another 4/5 cars. There is also a very large shed for storage and the location of the LPG tank. This home can accommodate a lot of visitors or an owner with a passion for cars. “We have the front drive, and down the lane, there's the back drive. There's parking there for about five cars, six cars. But when everyone's here, it's great because everyone can get squeezed in.” “When we have all the family here, they'll just look in the front drive and if that's full, they’ll just open the double gates at the next drive and come in and park there.” There is also a large shed In the area A popular village that originated in medieval times, today Inkpen is increasingly popular with families looking for a quieter, simpler, safer, more rural way of life. There is a great cricket ground and pavilion and a very popular playground. “There are lots of newer people coming in, younger people, which is good for the village. It's a very good village school, apparently. So that gets a lot of people in.” “Inkpen is a very friendly village. There's always something going on. I'm not as involved as I was, but there's loads of activities. And a village newsletter.” For dining out, the popular gastro pub, the Crown and Garter, which dates back to 1640, is just a short walk away. It is also home to the Honesty Café and bakery, both highly regarded. “There's a lovely walk through the woods. It takes about 10 minutes, then you're at the Crown and Garter. So if you suddenly decide you don’t want to cook, you can say ‘Oh, let's go and have a meal there’. They have a very nice coffee shop too. “When I had a dog, he used to find his own way there, cadging all sorts of treats from people.” “You can buy bread at the Crown, and one or two people sell fresh eggs nearby, you just leave the money in an honesty box.” In addition, for something Michelin-listed Woodspeen, Vineyard, Goat on the Roof and Malverleys are all within a short drive. This is great walking country, with walks through the woods and across the fields up to the hills and the famous Coombe Gibbet. “It's a super walking area. I mean, people drive their cars out here and park at the Crown to go for a walk.” For culture, you have the iconic and award-winning Watermill Theatre (also a dining location), Arlington Arts, the Corn Exchange and the Living Rainforest. The town centres of Newbury and Hungerford are eight and five miles away respectively. Both offer a range of shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs and amenities. Additionally, Newbury has a multi-screen cinema and a Racecourse that regularly hosted Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth and members of the royal family. Several golf courses can be found in and around the area, including Donnington & Co hotel, spa and golf club, Deanwood Park Golf Club, Donnington Grove Golf Club and Newbury & Crookham Golf Club. Good to know Some insights from our homeowner. “There is no light pollution here at all. There's no streetlight, nothing. You have wonderful black skies. It's lovely if you're into stargazing. It's just the best of best places.” “Inkpen is in one of the areas of outstanding natural beauty.” “We’re not overlooked by anybody. It’s lovely and peaceful here. The neighbours have had horses, there is lots of stabling and paddocks nearby” Transport links By car The main east-west and north-south arteries of the M4 and A34 are both approx. 15-minutes’ drive away, giving access to London, Bristol and Cornwall, as well as Oxford, Birmingham and the south coast. This is an incredibly well-connected location. By train Inkpen is a 10-minute drive from Kintbury station and a 20-minute drive from the better-served Newbury station.

Orchard Hill is a substantial late‑1920s Arts and Crafts family home set high above the River Hamble in Old Bursledon, with around 4,500 square feet, seven bedrooms and 1.33 acres of landscaped gardens enjoying long views to the water and beyond. Orchard Hill is a substantial late-1920s Arts and Crafts home set high above the River Hamble in the conservation village of Old Bursledon, enjoying long views across its own 1.33 acres of established grounds to the water and beyond. Arranged over two floors and extending to around 4,500 square feet, it offers generous and flexible family accommodation with seven bedrooms, four bath/shower rooms and four reception spaces, together with extensive parking and a double garage. Approached via a long, tree-lined drive that curves up between banks of planting to a deep gravel sweep, the house sits well back from the lane and feels wonderfully private. The elevations are classic Arts and Crafts, with warm brickwork, steep tiled roofs, tall chimneys and a strong balcony line across the river front. The entrance is deliberately theatrical: a brick-tiled threshold leads to a heavy oak front door and, once inside, you step down into a wide reception hall, with immediate views of the garden and river. Throughout the house, the original detailing has been carefully preserved. William Morris wallpaper and matching curtains appear in a number of rooms, complemented by parquet flooring, panelled oak doors, deep skirting boards and period ironmongery. Fireplaces are a recurring theme; there are several substantial brick inglenooks, some with space to sit in the chimney breast itself, creating atmospheric focal points for the main reception spaces. Accommodation The broad reception hall immediately sets the tone, with parquet flooring underfoot, William Morris wallcoverings and an impressive brick fireplace. From here the principal living space unfolds towards the river. From here, folding stained glass doors, specially commissioned by the owners to echo the colours and forms of the Hamble, open into a beautifully proportioned drawing room spanning much of the width of the house, with windows on more than one side, an ornate brick inglenook and French doors opening directly onto the terrace so that the river forms a constant backdrop. The reception space also links into the large dining room. This arrangement allows the three rooms to work either as one large suite for entertaining or as separate, more intimate areas. From the dining room, through a further set of stained glass folding doors is an impressive garden room, more orangery than conservatory, with brick walls, a glass roof and full-height glazing on three sides overlooking the front gardens. It is an everyday living space filled with light, enhanced by the golden tones of the stained glass doors, and easily opened up in warmer weather. A further reception room, fitted with bookcases and another brick fireplace with a wood burning stove, provides an inviting snug or library. The kitchen/breakfast room runs along the opposite side of the house and is designed for family use, with extensive bespoke timber cabinetry, display cupboards and a long run of Corian work surface wrapping around a central space that comfortably accommodates a large table. At the heart of the kitchen has a four-oven gas Aga set into a tiled recess, which also contributes to the hot water system, with further integrated appliances including a Miele dishwasher and built-in fridge and freezer. A utility room, cloakroom and additional ground floor shower room complete the principal level. An original oak staircase rises from the hall to a generous galleried landing, lit by wide windows overlooking the gardens. The upper level is arranged to make the most of the outlook: several of the bedrooms open via French doors directly onto a long first-floor balcony that runs across much of the river elevation. From here, the view takes in the formal gardens below, the tops of the clipped yews, and beyond them the masts and water of the Hamble. In total there are seven bedrooms, six of which are good double rooms, each with space for freestanding furniture and, in some cases, fitted wardrobes and dressing furniture. The principal bedroom is notably generous, with a sitting area by the windows, extensive built-in storage and dual aspects including over the river. Three bath/shower rooms serve the accommodation on this floor, all offering both bath and separate shower. Gardens and setting The grounds are arranged in a series of distinct but flowing areas. To the front, mature trees and shrub borders line the approach, with lawns and stone retaining walls giving a sense of depth and seclusion. Paths and steps rise gently away from the drive towards orchard-style planting and more informal lawn areas, where trees and specimen shrubs are set within broad sweeps of grass. On the river side of the house, a broad stone terrace runs the full length of the elevation, providing multiple places to sit and dine while enjoying the outlook. From here, steps lead down to a large lawn flanked by clipped yews and established hedging, with the river visible between the trees. Further down the garden, a circular pond and stone-paved surround create a focal point, with open lawns leading to an orchard of productive fruit trees beyond giving a sense of space and scale that is hard to find in such a central village setting. Old Bursledon itself is a small, historic village on the western bank of the River Hamble, designated as a conservation area and long associated with boatbuilding and the river. The nearby Elephant Boatyard recalls the village’s shipbuilding past, while the Strawberry Trail offers well-known walking routes through countryside and along the shoreline. The Jolly Sailor, a popular waterside pub with its own slipway, is a local landmark and a focal point for river life. Bursledon railway station is around half a mile away, connecting to Southampton Airport Parkway for services to London Waterloo in approximately 1 hour 10 minutes, and the M27 and M3 provide straightforward road access to Southampton and London.
