Southwoods, Bursledon

From the moment you pass through the electric gates, this home radiates a sense of privacy and indulgence. The sweeping driveway opens to manicured grounds setting the tone for what the rest of the house has in store.

Inside, the grand hallway leads into a light-filled living space where plush sofas and a log burner create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. French doors open to the pool terrace, where mornings begin with coffee beside the pond and evenings in the hot tub.

The statement kitchen and dining area is designed for social living – with sleek surfaces, high-tech appliances, a wine cooler and doors that spill out onto the garden for effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

Upstairs, five beautifully styled bedrooms each offer their own sanctuary. The master suite feels like a private spa, with vaulted ceilings, a Juliet balcony, a dressing room and an indulgent bathroom with double rainfall showers and a deep soaking tub. Alongside this are four additional bedrooms, one super-king-size and two doubles, each thoughtfully designed for comfort. The entire top floor is dedicated to a charming children’s suite, complete with its own twin bedroom, an ensuite bathroom and a cosy sitting room where little ones can relax, read, or play games on oversized beanbags. It’s a wonderfully self-contained space that gives children their own floor to unwind and feel at home.

The garden is a sanctuary of its own – south-facing and bordered by woodland, with a lily-pond, seasonal blooms and a tranquil deck surrounding the heated swimming pool.
