A most attractive Grade II* listed manor house (approx. 4500sqft) in grounds of about 2 acres, providing a rare opportunity to restore and reinvent an important Hampshire country house of considerable architectural merit.<br/><br/>Slackstead Manor is a particularly attractive village home occupying an idyllic location and set in grounds of approx. 2 acres - with the benefit of a further 5.25 acre paddock available by separate negotiation. Now, the property requires complete refurbishment throughout; a substantial but highly rewarding project with exceptional long-term upside.<br/><br/>Set against a glorious rural backdrop on the edge of Braishfield, Slackstead Manor is an immensely handsome red-brick residence with beautifully balanced elevations and an unmistakable sense of stature. The house enjoys outstanding uninterrupted views across surrounding farmland and offers extensive accommodation (approx. 4,500sqft) arranged over four floors, including seven bedrooms, elegant reception rooms, substantial cellar and storage space, extensive garaging and outbuildings.<br/><br/>While the house now requires significant investment and modernisation, it offers an increasingly rare chance for a purchaser to create a truly remarkable family home tailored entirely to their own vision. This is not a project for the faint-hearted, but the fundamentals are exceptional: an important and iconic Listed house, a remarkable setting, excellent proportions and a highly sought-after village location.<br/><br/>SITUATION<br/>Slackstead is located just on the outskirts of Braishfield, a small village to the north-west of Romsey, is quietly situated and provides facilities to include two public houses, junior school and village hall. Schools for all ages, both state and private, are readily available. The larger centres of Romsey and Winchester are both within a 20 minute drive, with the city of Southampton about 8 miles distant.<br/><br/>COUNCIL TAX<br/>Test Valley Borough Council - Band G<br/><br/>SERVICES<br/>To be confirmed<br/><br/>Post Code - SO51 0QL<br/>What3words///<a target="_blank" href="https://what3words.com/unlocking.shells.subsets">unlocking.shells.subsets</a>
