A long driveway from the Tonbridge Road leads up hill to the large block paved parking and turning area and a detached double garage and your first glimpse of this delightful home surrounded by gardens that lend a feeling of calm that comes with being far from the madding crowded. A few steps up past a fabulous pond takes you to the terrace which makes the most of its elevated position and affords you far reaching views beyond the village to the distant horizon. In order to make use of this sunny aspect and delightful view a large conservatory has been added to the front elevation of the house to create a much used and much-loved space for sitting or entertaining whilst maximising the benefit of the view.

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.

Light and airy, with touches of gold on its handrails and spindles, a chandelier hanging over the central space and tiled floor, this impressive space provides access to every area of the house. Directly beyond the entrance hall is a large light and airy open plan kitchen/breakfast room containing hand-crafted New England-style cabinets that make the most of the available space and a large, granite-topped central island with a sink and cupboards. The kitchen contains an abundance of appliances, while special touches such as plinth lights under the cabinets add to the contemporary ambience. The kitchen flows into an orangery that runs across more than two thirds of the house. Sky lanterns, large windows and sliding glass doors allow light to flood in and make the most of breathtaking views of woodland, including a stately oak, and the countryside beyond. The orangery is the perfect place to sit and relax or entertain and opens out onto a south-facing terrace. A feature woodburning stove creates a warm environment during cooler times of the year and this versatile space can easily accommodate a dining table. Lying off the orangery is a cosy, more intimate sitting room with bespoke bookshelves and its own view. It’s a great space for watching television. Two rooms sit either side of the entrance hall. One is currently used as a ground floor bedroom while the other has been fitted out as a home cinema. Completing the downstairs layout is a fitness wing that’s a sanctuary for relaxation, with a gym, sauna and steam room. There’s a large utility room with colourful fitted cupboards that provide plenty of storage space, and a WC too. Planning permission is in place to create a swimming pool extension with a plant room and changing facilities. The four upstairs bedrooms are large, luxurious and all have their own boutique hotel-style en suites and built-in storage space.

Outdoor lighting makes this space even more magical during the evenings. Access to Angelton House is through a pair of impressive brick pillars fitted with electric gates, which lead into a sweeping driveway. There is extensive parking and a double garage. Sellers Insight “Angelton Hall has been our home for the last two years, and from the moment we drove through the gates, we knew it was somewhere special.” “What first drew us to the property was the location. It's incredibly convenient, just minutes from the M4 and around twenty minutes from Cardiff, making trips to London easy, but when you arrive home, you feel like you're a million miles away from everything. The first time we visited, it honestly felt more like arriving at a luxury boutique hotel or private country estate than a family home.” “Since moving here, we've poured so much love into the house. We have completely modernised it throughout and added lots of personal touches along the way. One of my favourite projects was recreating the beautiful lighting style of my favourite Raffles Hotel in the hallway. We've wanted the house to feel elegant, dramatic and luxurious, whilst still being somewhere family and friends instantly feel comfortable. Every improvement has been done with care and to a high standard because this house deserved nothing less.” “There are so many rooms I love, but the orangery and gym are probably my favourites. The orangery is one of those spaces that can be anything you need it to be. We've held business meetings there, hosted huge parties and celebrations, and spent many quiet evenings with family. In the winter, with the fire lit and a glass of wine, it feels incredibly cosy and peaceful.” “The gardens have brought us just as much joy as the house itself. We have a zipline, a children's play park built around the trees, a summer house, swim spa, gym, sauna and steam room, along with a beautiful infinity water feature. The wildlife here is amazing also and we often see deer roaming. The landscaping and lighting have transformed the garden and driveway into something really special, and the views are incredible. On a clear day, you can even see the sea in the distance. Despite all of this, the privacy is what we've probably appreciated most.” “Angelton Hall has been the perfect house for entertaining. With space for more than fifty cars on the driveway and no close neighbours, we've hosted some wonderful parties and celebrations over the years. It has become the house that family and friends naturally gravitate towards. We've hosted everything from family occasions to formal dinners with private chefs and work events. The summer house has been brilliant too, especially for giving the children their own space while the adults enjoy the main house.” “What will I miss most? Honestly, everything. This isn't just a house, it's a lifestyle. We have loved every second of living here and it has been a truly wonderful family home.”

Johnston Hall, Pembrokeshire Key Features * Exceptional historic country estate believed to date back to the 15th century * Beautifully restored principal residence combining period grandeur with contemporary luxury * Approximately 10 acres of landscaped gardens, grounds and pony paddock * Four beautifully appointed cottages creating an established lifestyle and holiday letting opportunity * Planning permission granted for the conversion of the former coach house into a substantial five-bedroom dwelling * Exciting potential for a boutique wedding and events venue (subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents) * Indoor heated swimming pool with changing rooms and bathroom facilities * Exceptional barn ideal for a classic car collection, motorcycle showroom, artist’s studio or sculpture gallery * Two substantial stores/outbuildings with separate access to the land * Beautiful wildlife pond, mature trees and professionally landscaped gardens * Sixteen solar panels providing improved energy efficiency * Outstanding opportunity for multi-generational living, hospitality, equestrian use or a lifestyle business * Peaceful rural setting within easy reach of the Pembrokeshire coastline ⸻ A Landmark Country Estate Rich in History, Beauty and Opportunity As the gates close behind you and the driveway winds gently through mature trees, everyday life begins to fade into the background. Ahead lies Johnston Hall, an extraordinary country estate where more than five centuries of history have been preserved with remarkable care, creating a home that feels both deeply rooted in its past and perfectly prepared for the future. Set behind a sweeping, tree-lined approach and framed by approximately ten acres of beautifully curated gardens, grounds and pasture, Johnston Hall is one of Pembrokeshire’s finest private estates. Believed to date back to the 15th century, its origins lie within the tradition of the county’s early gentry houses, residences that once stood proudly at the heart of local estates and quietly reflected the rhythm of the surrounding landscape. Over the centuries, the Hall became associated with the wider Kensington Estate, embedding it within a fascinating history where ownership represented not simply possession, but stewardship of both the land and the generations who would follow. Today, that remarkable legacy has been thoughtfully reimagined. The current owners have undertaken an extensive and highly sympathetic renovation that honours the building’s remarkable heritage while introducing a level of finish expected from a distinguished modern country home. Original character has been carefully preserved, period features celebrated and craftsmanship respected throughout, while elegant contemporary interiors ensure the property functions effortlessly for modern family life. Natural light fills the beautifully proportioned rooms, creating interiors that feel calm, balanced and inviting. Every space flows naturally into the next, offering an effortless balance between formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living. There is a quiet confidence throughout the house, where quality is never overstated yet evident in every considered detail. The Grounds Stepping outside, the estate continues to impress. The grounds have been extensively redesigned into a series of beautifully composed outdoor spaces that feel as though they have always belonged. Sweeping lawns merge effortlessly with mature specimen trees, colourful planting and carefully designed borders, while terraces and pathways invite long summer afternoons spent entertaining family and friends or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings. A beautiful wildlife pond creates a haven for birds and nature, adding movement, reflection and biodiversity to the landscape, while beyond, a pony paddock gently reinforces the property’s connection to country living. Whether accommodating horses, other animals or simply providing open pasture, the land enhances both the lifestyle and versatility of the estate. In total, Johnston Hall extends to approximately ten acres, providing an exceptional degree of privacy without ever feeling isolated. The Outbuildings Practicality has been considered just as carefully as beauty. A separate entrance provides direct access to the land and outbuildings, allowing machinery, livestock or equestrian equipment to be managed independently from the main residence. Two substantial stores provide extensive space for agricultural machinery, workshops or general storage, but one, in particular, offers something far more exciting than simply additional storage. For the classic car collector, vintage vehicle enthusiast or motorcycle enthusiast, it provides the perfect home for a prized collection, where cherished vehicles could be displayed within an impressive private showroom. Equally, it could become the ultimate workshop for restoration projects or specialist engineering. For artists, sculptors and creative makers, the soaring space lends itself beautifully to becoming an inspirational studio and gallery, surrounded by the peace and beauty of the estate. Whether housing a collection, pursuing a passion or operating a creative business from home, it is a space that invites imagination and offers exceptional flexibility. The Estate Lifestyle Adding an entirely different dimension to life at Johnston Hall is the superb indoor swimming pool complex. Beautifully integrated within the estate, the heated swimming pool enjoys dedicated changing rooms and bathroom facilities, creating an exceptional leisure space that transforms everyday living. Whether enjoyed by family, guests or visitors staying within the cottages, it offers year-round luxury that is rarely found within historic homes of this calibre. It is a feature that elevates the estate beyond the traditional country house, creating a lifestyle centred around relaxation, wellbeing and entertaining. While Johnston Hall proudly celebrates its heritage, it also embraces the future. The discreet installation of sixteen solar panels enhances the property’s sustainability credentials, reducing energy costs while complementing rather than compromising its historic character. The Cottages Beyond the principal residence, the story of Johnston Hall continues through its remarkable collection of cottages. Rodney, Kensington, Lavington and Seymour have each been thoughtfully restored and individually named to reflect the property’s rich heritage and historical connections. Their names honour figures and estates associated with Johnston Hall’s past, subtly acknowledging links with the influential Seymour family of Tudor England. Each cottage offers beautifully presented accommodation full of charm and individuality, creating an established holiday letting business or elegant accommodation for extended family and guests. Together they reinforce the feeling that Johnston Hall is not simply a single residence but a complete country estate capable of adapting to many different lifestyles. The Coach House The opportunities continue still further through the former coach house. Planning permission has already been granted for its conversion into a substantial five-bedroom dwelling, opening the door to an exciting range of possibilities. It could become an impressive secondary residence for multi-generational living, luxurious guest accommodation or a valuable addition to the estate’s already established hospitality offering. Equally, subject to the necessary planning permissions and consents, the coach house presents an exceptional opportunity to create a truly memorable boutique wedding and events venue. With Johnston Hall’s magnificent period architecture, beautifully landscaped grounds, mature parkland, indoor swimming pool and collection of four charming cottages already in place, the estate possesses many of the qualities sought after by exclusive-use wedding venues. The conversion could create a stunning setting for intimate weddings, private celebrations, corporate retreats or bespoke events, unlocking yet another exciting chapter in the estate’s future. A Rare Opportunity It is this extraordinary versatility that truly sets Johnston Hall apart. Whether your vision is to create a distinguished family estate, establish a luxury hospitality business, build an exclusive wedding and events venue, house an exceptional collection of classic cars, create an inspiring artist’s studio or simply become the next custodian of one of Pembrokeshire’s most remarkable homes, Johnston Hall offers a lifestyle that is as extraordinary as its history. Johnston Hall is far more than an outstanding period residence. It is a private estate where history, craftsmanship, opportunity and imagination come together in perfect harmony. It is a legacy to inherit, a lifestyle to embrace and a rare chance to become the next custodian of one of Pembrokeshire’s most distinguished country homes. Johnston Hall is not simply a home to own; it is a legacy to protect, an estate to shape and an extraordinary chapter waiting to be continued by its next custodian.
