Botley Road, Fair Oak, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SO50 7AP

A truly unique and historically significant four-bedroom detached home, set within a small and private gated development close to local schools and within a short walk of the village centre.

Dating back to circa 1730, the site originally served as the village stables and has since been thoughtfully and extensively renovated to create a distinctive home that seamlessly blends period character with contemporary living.

The property offers approximately 1,400 sq. ft. of well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors, and is set on a private part walled plot. The ground floor provides flexible living accommodation, comprising a welcoming entrance area with cloakroom/WC, a ground floor bedroom, and a separate home office or study—ideal for modern family life or home working. The main living room is a particular highlight, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace with a cast iron hearth plate depicting a horse beneath a giant oak, a fitting tribute to the property’s rich heritage. Adjoining the lounge is a versatile snug or dining room, while the ground floor is completed by a recently fitted Wren kitchen. The kitchen features marble worktops, and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer and induction hob.

To the first floor, recently carpeted throughout, are three generously sized double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a contemporary three-piece en suite shower room, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

Externally, the property is set within a secluded and exclusive gated development just off Botley Road. Surrounded by mature shrubs and planting, the home enjoys a high degree of privacy, with steps leading to the front entrance. The rear garden wraps around the property and is divided into two main sections, both predominantly laid to lawn and enhanced by established shrubs and trees. A patio area directly outside the kitchen is complemented by a purpose-built, all-weather cover, providing an ideal space for outdoor entertaining. Off-road parking is provided via an allocated space and an attractive oak-framed carport, which also benefits from a mezzanine/loft area offering additional storage. Visitor parking is also available within the development.

The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of improvements in recent years, including a new slate roof with exposed beams, eight integrated solar panels, a 6.7kW battery and inverter housed securely in the loft, new windows and doors, new flooring throughout, and areas of damp-proof coursing with a 10-year guarantee.
