2 bed detached house for sale

Wykeham Place, Fareham, Hampshire PO16

Guide Price £530,000 - £550,000 Tucked away in a discreet yet highly convenient central Fareham location, this exceptional former caretaker’s cottage forms part of the prestigious conversion of the Grade II Listed Wykeham House School.

Thoughtfully reimagined, the property blends period charm with striking contemporary design, creating a truly unique and beautifully finished home.

Extending to over 1,000 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and showcases a wealth of character features, including exposed beams and bespoke joinery, seamlessly paired with modern enhancements. The impressive vaulted hallway leads through to a stunning open-plan living space, where the current owner has upgraded the kitchen to a superior, high-end specification. Sleek cabinetry, quality integrated appliances and refined finishes combine to create a stylish yet highly functional heart of the home.

Both bedrooms are generous doubles, with the principal suite benefiting from a luxurious en-suite, while a beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the second bedroom. Further improvements include the replacement of traditional sash windows with high-quality double glazed units, enhancing comfort and efficiency without compromising the property’s heritage appeal.

Externally, the cottage enjoys private front and rear gardens-an unusual advantage for such a central setting-along with two allocated parking spaces and visitor parking permits within a secure gated area. Offering both privacy and convenience, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home finished to an exceptional standard, just moments from Fareham’s amenities.
