Penmere House, School Lane, Hamble, Hampshire, SO31

Penmere House was fully redeveloped and extended during 2015 and 2016, including new internal walls, floors, wiring, plumbing, slate roofing and double glazing. This 4,100 sq ft home has a contemporary design including a fabulous open plan ground floor living space and four double bedrooms all en-suite. The home is set in a lovely secluded garden with outlook over open countryside, yet is five mins walk from the charming village centre. The splendid hallway with vaulted ceiling creates an outstanding first impression. This leads to the superb open-plan kitchen/dining/living room which is the heart of this lovely home and features an attractive Morso wood burner. This space has polished concrete flooring throughout with zoned under floor heating and enjoys an abundance of natural light courtesy of multiple glazed sliding doors leading out to the patio, private garden and swimming pool. The bespoke SieMatic Kitchen has seamless lines, handleless units with soft closing cabinets and silestone work surfaces. Fully fitted Miele appliances include two electric fan ovens, steam oven and microwave, four ring induction hob and downdraft extractor, two dishwashers, refrigerator, and freezer. There is also a Quooker tap for instant hot water, and a water softener. Leading from the kitchen is a useful utility room and WC. The high-level Velux windows are electric open/shut, with rain sensors for automatic closing. Further accommodation includes a separate snug/family room, office, plant room and a discreetly placed 2nd staircase leading to a further home office space above the garage (which could be used as a fifth bedroom) with vaulted ceiling and under-eaves storage. On the first floor the principal bedroom suite has a dressing room and luxury en-suite bathroom, and two sets of patio doors leading to a balcony with glass balustrade enjoying uninterrupted peaceful green views. There are three further double bedrooms, all enjoying views of the garden and all with their own en-suite shower rooms. All the bedrooms benefit from push-button electric black out blinds. There is also a large linen storage room. The large loft is accessed by a loft ladder and has further significant storage space and offers possible opportunity for further development, subject to the relevant planning permission. Outside, the sizeable garden is landscaped with a well-maintained lawn and high hedges giving the property seclusion. An impressive heated swimming pool, complete with push-button automatic cover, lies adjacent to the house, along with a summerhouse housing the pool filtration equipment. In front of the house there is a generous driveway, with electric gates giving access to the double garage. The garage itself has three electric doors with access into the rear garden. There are two driveways, allowing multiple vehicles or boat trailers to be parked, both with electric gated entrances. Other features include home music system, telecom entry system, alarm and CCTV, solar heating and air source heat pump for the swimming pool. There is gas fired heating, as well as underfloor heating in the house.
