Description
Highbrook Hall is a striking Grade II listed period property, on a monastic site, with the original Hall dating back to the 14th Century.
The central entrance hall, with its high ceilings, leads to each of the principal reception rooms, which serve as excellent entertaining and formal rooms. The open plan kitchen/breakfast room has an oil fired Aga with double doors into the family room and out onto the patio. Beyond the kitchen is a boot room, utility and cloakroom and the original Refectory which is used as a games room or additional reception room.
A curving staircase rises from the main hall to a wide landing with a large sash window and doors off to the principal bedrooms. The sizeable principal bedroom suite has beautiful south easterly facing views across the landscaped grounds. There are two further suites, two bedrooms and a bathroom.
There are a further two bedrooms and bathrooms can be accessed by a secondary staircase from the rear hall. These could be used to provide further accommodation or as separate annexe, as there is a kitchen and further sitting room.
The courtyard to the rear (north west) of the house is accessed off the main drive and by a separate drive off Hawkley Road. An all-weather tennis court lies on one side of this driveway. The large Victorian courtyard laid with ironstone cobbles with central flowerbed is constructed from brick and stone elevations under slate and tile roofs provides additional accommodation, outbuildings and offices.
The estate’s equine offerings include the main stable block with four traditional stables, indoor stables in the large barn, a tack room, wash room, and feed room. The Courtyard Cottage block includes a large barn, hay store, and 5 smaller store rooms with equestrian potential. The Garages either side of Blacksmith’s Cottage have conversion potential for further stabling purposes. Other equestrian amenities on the estate include two outdoor arenas, including a full-size show jumping arena, a full-size indoor school, an outdoor horse walker, and ample paddocks, turnout areas, and additional fields with potential for gallops across the 203.33 acres.
Highbrook Hall is situated in the beautiful South Downs National Park, in rural Hampshire. The property is conveniently located for easy access to the A3 and the national motorway network, with the south coast and international airports at Gatwick and Heathrow within easy reach. A mile to the west of the property the village of Liss has a selection of shops, a doctor’s surgery and mainline station with services to London Waterloo (about 70 minutes) along with the infamous Clarke House with chef Nathan Marshall.
