Lordswood, Highbridge, Hampshire, SO50 6HR

The Lodge is an exceptional five-bedroom detached family residence occupying a stunning plot of over an acre, enviably positioned along a private road shared only amongst neighbouring residents, offering a remarkable sense of privacy and rural living whilst remaining conveniently situated between Winchester & Eastleigh. This substantial home provides beautifully versatile accommodation extending to over 5,400 sq. ft. including garages and outbuildings.

At the heart of the property is an impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area spanning the full width of the house, creating a superb space for both entertaining and modern family life. Since the current owners’ purchase, an entirely new kitchen and utility room were installed last year, including a substantial central island within the contemporary kitchen, further enhancing both functionality and social living. A particularly unique feature is the viewing window from the dining area into the cellar below, accessed externally, creating a distinctive character element within the home.

The accommodation is incredibly flexible, with two well-proportioned ground floor bedrooms, one with en-suite facilities, alongside further extensive first floor accommodation including a stunning principal suite with dressing room, en-suite with walk-in shower, sunken bath, separate access to an office and balcony area, and two further double bedrooms upstairs served by a family bathroom. A separate cinema room with Dolby 5.1 surround sound provides an excellent additional reception space, ideal for movie nights and entertaining.

Externally, the grounds are a true standout feature of the property. The mature gardens extend across a plot of over an acre and incorporate multiple seating and entertaining areas, expansive lawns, a pond, woodland-style surroundings and several outbuildings and sheds. A detached summer house with power and WiFi has been thoughtfully designed as a versatile games room, gym or recreational space. Further benefits include a double garage, additional garaging and carport facilities, extensive driveway parking and an exceptional setting enjoying beautiful countryside views and surroundings whilst maintaining excellent access to nearby commuter links, schools and amenities.
