Chattis Hill House is a most interesting Edwardian house, dating from 1903, it was built as the trainer’s house for the neighbouring Chattis Hill Racing Stables (now converted into private homes). This substantial house extends to 5525 sq ft and has well-proportioned accommodation over three floors with wonderful light throughout and generous ceiling heights, which are a traditional feature in a house of this era. There is an interesting crenelated tower to the western elevation which at one time, had a flagstaff from which a flag was flown when the stables had won a race!
The ground floor comprises an entrance hall and generous cloakroom, an impressive bright drawing room which has wrap around windows on the southern elevation and doors out onto the garden, along with a woodburning stove and built in bookcases and cupboards. From here, a door leads into the dining room where the windows continue around a bay window. There is a large, bright, kitchen breakfast room with a central brick island, and an oil-fired Aga and a pantry which overlooks the courtyard to the rear of the house. Adjacent to the kitchen is a lovely cosy snug/study. A very useful and practical utility/boot room, with a quarry tiled floor and plenty of built in storage. Completes this floor, along with a further cloakroom, and a selection of broom cupboards and excellent storage. A classical wooden staircase in the tower, takes you to a half landing where there is a lovely large bay window, with crittal windowpanes across the top. The main landing is wide and bright and here there is a principal bedroom which has access out onto the south facing balcony, and which has an adjoining dressing room and a shower room, along with a further Jack and Jill bathroom with a roll top bath and built in storage. There are three further double bedrooms, a linen cupboard, and a separate cloakroom. The second floor provides further bedroom accommodation or study space, along with a bathroom. Here there is also ladder
access out onto the parapet of the tower.<br /><br />The house sits centrally in its grounds and is approached via a Lime tree lined avenue. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn with shrub and herbaceous borders. These are surrounded by the paddocks. To the rear of the house is a gravel area providing ample parking for several cars along with a triple bay car port. Attached to the house, but accessed externally are the former stables which now house a boiler room, a former kitchen and office space. These outbuildings form an attractive courtyard with what was formally a squash court, built to keep the jockeys fit. This has been latterly used as a workshop and garaging. On the first floor there is now also additional annexe accommodation comprising a double bedroom, shower room and kitchenette and sitting room. There a further outbuilding, including a substantial workshop, known as Hangar 1, due to the owner’s light aircraft being built and housed here historically. There is an excellent stable block including 3 loose boxes and a feed room, with a covered area and there is a power and water supply. In addition, there is a former tennis court, although this does now need replacing.<br /><br />Situated to the west of the popular market town of Stockbridge, which is renowned for its fishing connections as well as boutique shops, restaurants, pubs, green grocers and butcher. The cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both within easy reach and offer a full range of amenities and services. This part of Hampshire is renowned for its many highly regarded schools which include Farleigh, Godolphin, Winchester College, St Swithun’s and the Salisbury Grammar Schools. Hampshire is world famous for its chalk streams with the River Test regarded as one of the best fly fishing rivers in the country. There are many opportunities for walking and riding in the surrounding countryside, racing at Salisbury and golf at Leckford and Winchester.
