6 bedroom detached house for sale

Mundys House is a small country estate of circa 20 acres, set in an idyllic position within The South Downs National Park around 20 minutes from Winchester, and sitting on the edge of a picturesque gently sloping valley.

The main residence which extends to just over 10,000 square feet exudes the meticulous detail and craftsmanship curated by the present owners and is a harmonious blend of contemporary style and homely character. Amongst the numerous interior features is a bespoke limestone staircase, a 29 ft temperature-controlled wine room, a 60 ft gallery, and a pool/spa complex with jet flow, gym and sauna.

An annexed cottage provides separate accommodation for staff or guests, and a large recreational barn/studio lends itself to a variety of uses and currently houses a golf simulator. A driveway leads down to a quadrangle comprising 8 garages, 5 stable stalls with tack room, solarium, laundry room, groom’s kitchen, a workshop and further storage rooms.

The wonderful grounds and gardens are carefully maintained across the estate. They feature flower meadows with mown paths, paddocks, extensive woodland and a tennis court. A lake with a fountain and wooden footbridge provides a tranquil spot for watching wildlife from numerous vantage points and is a haven for a variety of resident waterfowl. The garden views can also be enjoyed from the terrace off the principal bedroom complete with a chimney and wood burner, and a dedicated barbecue/al fresco dining area. The entrance is particularly impressive with a bespoke pond and fountain created by sculptor Simon Allison. There are five further machinery sheds and workshop tucked away in the woods, and four post and railed paddocks with water.
