Perched towards the end of a serene cul de sac in Hordle, This Home stands as a beautifully preserved testament to Strawberry Gothic Pre Georgian architecture. Originally commissioned by Admiral William Cornwallis around 1815, this five bedroom residence exudes historic character, from its ornate sash windows and leaded picture lights to its high ceilings, marble floors, and open fireplaces. A truly curated blend of antique charm and generous living.
As you enter you re greeted by a light filled entrance hall, anchored by a picture tiled marble floor. To one side, a cloakroom discreetly offers convenience. On the other, the expansive Shaker style kitchen breakfast room beckons with built in storage, a quaint window seat, pantry space, and a separate hatch into the hall. Perfect for family breakfasts or informal gatherings.
Beyond, the heart of the home unfolds a welcoming sitting room and a separate dining room, opening onto the garden terrace through double doors. These spaces sparkle with retained period features marble fire surrounds, wrought iron hearths, and rich natural wood flooring. Offering an inviting setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
Climbing to the first floor, the second bedroom delights with French style doors that open onto a Juliet balcony, overlooking manicured gardens and the paddock beyond. A triple door built in wardrobe nestles beside a marble fireplace, while two other first floor bedrooms include one with an en suite shower room, and an additional study bedroom that leads to the second floor.
Ascending further, two attic rooms await. Each dressed in character and benefiting from Velux windows, both enjoying en suite shower rooms.
Outside, the frontage reveals a shingled courtyard, accompanied by a detached single garage and access to a basement beneath the house ideal for storage or conversion, STPP . The rear garden unfolds into a beautiful expanse of lawn, bordered by mature hedging and shrubs, flowing onto a patio terrace, perfect for alfresco dining or morning coffee. A wrought iron gate ushers into an approximately one acre paddock, primed for equestrian use, a small pony, or even future landscaping aspirations.
