Situated in an elevated setting with outstanding far-reaching views across neighbouring countryside, a magnificent residence of grand proportions extending to 7,111 square foot, constructed by my clients 15 years ago to an exacting specification with no expense spared during its construction, and set in an idyllic, peaceful location amongst private grounds extending to 2.3 acres with a triple garage and extensive parking

Chantry is an impressive residence of classic Georgian styling. The property is completely screened from the road and approached via electric gates which open to give you the first glimpse of this outstanding property which was constructed with superb symmetry, a grid of multi-paned sash windows with stone sills and classical balance, with a central oversized door with portico and stone columns. This attention to detail continues through to the interior where you are greeted with a vast Reception Hall which looks straight through to the Dining Hall and beyond to the gardens; this room is flooded with light from the many oversized sash windows and has gloriously high ceilings, stunning cornicing and oversized doors; this continues through the property. A statement wrought iron and oak staircase sweeps up to the first floor. There are 6 reception areas with travertine flooring throughout the ground floor. The Sitting Room, Study and Media/Games Room are all to one side of the property whilst the Kitchen, Breakfast Room and Family Room are to the other side. The Kitchen has an abundance of cupboards with a substantial central island unit with breakfast bar and has an excellent range of appliances included. This leads off to the Utility Room and gives access to the triple garage. A second staircase leads up to a Guest Wing where there is a Bedroom with Dressing Room and En-Suite Bathroom. An adjacent room has plumbing in situ for a Kitchen to allow this to become a self-contained wing if required. On the first floor, the sweeping staircase leads up the upper-floor mezzanine level that mirrors the staircase's curves, creating an open, airy balcony overlooking the grand entrance. There are four generous Bedroom Suites off of this spectacular landing; the Principal Bedroom Suite is approached via double doors and overlooks the beautiful gardens with the glorious views beyond, the Ensuite is particularly large and has a central oversized bath adjacent to a set of French doors which lead to a private balcony overlooking the gardens; there are also two separate Dressing Rooms. This grandeur extends to all other Bedroom Suites, which all benefit from En-Suites and Dressing areas and fitted wardrobe cupboards. On the second floor is a substantial space with Sitting Room area, Bedroom, walk in wardrobe cupboard and En-Suite Bathroom. Outside, the hallmarks of quality and attention to detail extend to the outside of this exquisite home. There is extensive parking leading to a discreet triple Garage. There is a brick-built bin and oil store. The gardens to the rear provide a perfect backdrop to the stunning far-reaching views beyond. There is an expensive lawn and a substantial stone terrace providing the perfect spot for entertaining or relaxing.

Located near Wickham, towards the southern end of the picturesque Meon Valley, Chantry enjoys an attractive setting on the edge of the Forest of Bere.
