White Oak

Award winning, Fairfax Classical Properties is pleased to unveil their latest luxury country home: White Oak, Braishfield. White Oak which is being marketed by Knight Frank at an asking price of £2.95 million is located within the picturesque hamlet of Lower Slackstead, 1.5 miles from the historic village of Braishfield in the heart of the Hampshire countryside.   

The Regency-style home, approached by a winding lane, includes four large reception rooms, six bedrooms, five bathrooms and a superb kitchen breakfast room with internal space totalling 4,700sq ft. and external staff accommodation providing an additional 635 sq ft. Set within 5 acres, containing a triple bay garage, the home itself offers state of the art amenities such as Miele appliances and quality bathrooms, a Mark Wilkinson kitchen/breakfast room with an Aga oven and a Chesney's fireplace in the drawing room. Fairfax Classical uses high quality traditional materials and as such, the home is built with hand made bricks laid in Flemish bond , traditional plaster cornices, natural stone flooring and oak floors.

Importantly, in line with Fairfax's ongoing commitment to the environment, the house has achieved Level Three, under The Code for Sustainable Homes. A geothermal heating system has been used in the form of a ground source heat pump. White Oak has a rainwater harvesting system in place and sensitive landscaping has ensured that the home will blend into the landscape.

Ed Cunningham, Knight Frank, said, "White Oak offers an excellent opportunity to those seeking a country life within easy reach of London and many local areas of beauty and interest as well as some of the best schools in England."

Commenting on the house, John McLean, Chairman of Fairfax Classical, said, "We are pleased to announce that White Oak is now on the market, offering an exclusive opportunity to acquire a country house in rural Hampshire.. There are exquisite views of the mature local woodland and the beautiful Hampshire countryside from the house, combining elegant country living with contemporary style."
