Sandleheath, Fordingbridge, Hampshire, SP6

Sandle Grange is believed to date back to 1900 when it served as the head gardener’s lodge to neighbouring Sandle Manor (now Forres Sandle Manor School). The house has been the subject of later extensions, notably on the principal east-facing elevation that was sympathetically enlarged to mirror the part-brick and rendered elevation of the original house and now offers extensive accommodation that extends to in excess of 5,400 sq. ft. The current owners have carefully modernised and updated the house throughout, crafting a home of elegant scale and proportion where many of the principal living rooms benefit from a high degree of natural light and enjoy a lovely outlook to the parkland style grounds. A sense of character has also been retained, with many rooms featuring painted ceiling beams or decorative flourishes such as ornate plaster ceiling roses and cornicing, coloured glass door furniture and internal stained glass doors. With an array of reception rooms complemented by seven bedrooms served by two staircases, the accommodation is extremely flexible, capacious enough to meet the needs of an extended family unit, multi-generational living or those seeking work from home space.
