Dower HouseDower House is a beautiful family home that forms the east wing of Pursers, a magnificent example of an 18th Century country house, which is set amongst seventeen acres of rolling grounds within The South Downs National Park. The wing was added in the early 1930s, and was finished in Hampshire flint and brick to blend so seamlessly with the main house that it is virtually impossible to distinguish old from new.

“I purchased Pursers in 1993,” says Barry, “before which time my family and I were living in Putney. We were immersed in work and school runs, and so when my daughter won a scholarship to St Swithun’s School in Winchester we decided it was time for a complete change of lifestyle. It took us a while to find the perfect property, as we wanted a spacious family home from which I could run my business, and Pursers ticked all the boxes. It’s a very unique property in a breathtakingly beautiful location; it’s a very special place.”

“A few years ago we split the property into four separate dwellings, and my family and I moved into Dower House,” continues Barry. “It’s a wonderfully spacious home which currently consists of three large reception rooms, a family kitchen and three generously proportioned bedrooms, but in addition to these we have recently created five more rooms at the top of the house. It represents a superb opportunity for a potential buyer to come in and transform that floor into anything from a granny annex to a home office, or simply extra accommodation for guests or indeed family.”

“We’re situated in the heart of the Hampshire countryside and the approach to the house, which is along a drive almost three quarters of a mile long, is hugely impressive,” says Barry. “It’s so private up here and the only sound is that of the wildlife, for which this is a real haven. We have a lovely sunny garden which is surrounded by a mature border of shrubs and trees, so it feels very secluded, and we also have a paddock of just under two acres.”

“In my mind the location couldn’t be more perfect,” says Barry. “You can drive away from this idyll and in under half an hour be in either Winchester or Petersfield, both of which have a superb array of shops and amenities as well as some of the top schools in the country. We really do have the best of both worlds.”

“We have had a fantastic time living here,” concludes Barry, “and it’s an experience that I shall never forget. It’s a stunning home in a very unique situation, and I’ll be very sad to leave.”*
