Situation Hamble House is located in the heart of the old village, adjacent to the village green in Thruxton, a popular village with a strong but diverse community.

In many ways, Hamble House is ideally located for family life. The house is quiet but main road and rail commuter routes are close and, as a result, the area is home to a high number of young families who are welcoming and social. A number of excellent schools are available including Farleigh and Rookwood locally; others opt for schools in Winchester (St Swithun’s, Winchester College) or Salisbury (Leaden Hall, Chafyn Grove, Salisbury Grammar).

If required, extra-curricular sport is easily found: Andover, Salisbury and Winchester have their own rugby, hockey and athletics clubs and welcome new members. Golf, shooting, fishing and riding are also available locally.

The countryside immediately beyond the village is pretty and contains a network of footpaths and bridleways which can be accessed without having to get into the car and which are perfect for exercising dogs and children. Andover, Newbury, Salisbury and Winchester are all within easy reach of the house and day trips to the beaches or sailing centres on the south coast are perfectly feasible. Description Hamble House originates from around 1870 and it retains much of its original period character. However, the current owners have managed a comprehensive renovation programme, and also extended the property significantly in 2012 to create an elegant and deeply comfortable family home, creating a charming fusion between the original and the new in design concepts. All of the improvements contribute greatly to the appeal of the house but some are worthy of specific comment. An air source heat pump runs both the hot water and the heating (both underfloor and conventional radiator), and allows the owners to claim approximately £1,000 per annum from the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). The spacious Harvey Jones kitchen runs seamlessly into a glass fronted dining and entertaining area, has a wireless Sonos music system that extends into garden room and study. Such details support the wider impression of a refurbishment that studiously combines both the original style and a fresh modern style. High ceilings and large windows let in much light and combine to reinforce the feeling of space and well-being which pervades the house. The two original reception rooms at the front are havens of comfort, allowing the family to step back from wider entertaining and withdraw into themselves with open fires and deep sofas. Outside, there is a large terrace which provides seamless integration from inside to out and leads onto a lawned area with hedging and maturing trees. Beyond the terrace the annex (also with air source heat pump) provides additional accommodation for visiting friends and family whilst the spacious oak framed double garage and workshop below could house a classic car or two. Access onto the property is managed via an intercom enabled sliding electric gate, leading to additional secure off-road parking for 4-5 vehicles.
