Providing accommodation for an extended family seems to be increasing in demand whether to create a comfortable base for elderly relatives who are still able to manage independent living or whether it is at the other end of the spectrum with the boomerang generation of grown offspring who for one reason or another find themselves unable or unwilling to make a complete break from the family home.

Here at this immaculately presented detached home there is a perfect answer in the form of a beautiful detached annexe, which would alternatively provide wonderful guest accommodation or home office.

Narnia at Upham is an individually designed property which sits well in a third of an acre plot and has a main house, the annexe and a lovely barn style triple carport with double garage and workshop.

The main house has substantial accommodation extending to nearly three thousand square feet with the accent firmly on the stunning open plan kitchen where the bi-folding doors open onto the expansive terrace and provide spectacular views over the gardens and fields beyond. This beautiful room has ample space for large family gatherings and to enjoy relaxed meals. A separate sitting room provides a cosy snug area as an alternative relaxing space whilst the study is well equipped with a range of fitted storage.

On the first floor there are four double bedroom suites, each with a private bath or shower room. Versatile space on the top floor currently provides an expansive bedroom suite with luxurious bathroom and a large store room.

The detached annexe is far from an afterthought and has been built to an impressive standard. On the ground floor the large stone fireplace with its wood burning stove creates a striking focal point in this vaulted room. The contemporary style kitchen/dining room is well fitted and stairs rise to a mezzanine sleeping floor with en suite bathroom. The annexe has its own private garden.

A wonderful rural scene provides the backdrop to the main gardens which adjoin open fields and a variety of shrubs and trees to the boundaries provide interest without obscuring the view. There is also a thatched gazebo.

Upham is a pretty village which forms part of the South Downs National Park, a few miles to the south of Winchester and just a couple of miles from Bishops Waltham which provides day to day amenities in addition to the local primary school, public house, church and recreation ground.
