House For Sale £2,875,000
Rollington House is a highly appealing and spacious, historic property, which retains many character features including original fireplaces and wood flooring throughout much of the house. The living accommodation is arranged over two floors plus cellar, while there is also a separate, spacious self-contained one-bedroom annexe. The current owners have recently carried out a very thorough and sympathetic programme of repair and improvement and it is now the most comfortable family home with mature gardens, a prolific kitchen garden and several paddocks. Planning consent has been granted by New Forest National Park Authority to create an orangery and further en-suite bedroom. The property’s long history is also evident with the traditional, three section thatched, cob built ox-byre and additional period barn which has recently been converted into a fantastic entertaining space. The stables remain in their original Victorian condition with impressive, period wrought iron railings, very rarely still seen today.
The welcoming reception hall flows into a large central hallway, offering access to all the ground floor accommodation. The well-lit formal drawing room at the front of the house features an elegant open fireplace and large bay window, as well as French doors to the courtyard. There is a large dining room and a sitting room, both with open fireplaces. The modern kitchen and breakfast room features classical/contemporary style units and an Aga, there is also an island unit/breakfast bar and ample space for dining. Large bi-fold doors flood the space with light and open out to a contemporary walled courtyard. A large scullery room adjoins the kitchen with laundry area and boot room. This leads to a further muddy boot area and outhouse. There is also a large cloakroom on the ground floor along with a cellar accessed from the central hallway. There is a good range of built in storage cupboards, a luggage store and metal gun cabinet. The dual-aspect, principal bedroom is located on the first floor and benefits from a spacious en-suite shower room with fully tiled walk-in shower. There are four further double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite and a further family bathroom
and a shower room.
The impressive range of outbuildings include a brick built summerhouse/office with bi-fold doors into the walled courtyard, games room/office, indoor stable, ox byre and the clay tiled barn which has been created into a wonderful space for parties and encompasses the full history and charm of the barn including beautiful flooring and open fire.
