58, Netley Street, Farnborough, GU14 6AT

“Four bay windows frame this handsome 19th-century home in Hampshire” Built in 1896, this Victorian detached house sits in a peaceful conservation area in Farnborough and balances late-19th-century architecture with sensitive contemporary interventions.

Extending to some 3,825 sq ft, generous living spaces retain a wealth of original details, including sash windows, fireplaces, and ornate plasterwork.

Outside, an expansive landscaped garden extends over a quarter of an acre, with a series of peaceful seating areas arranged amongst mature trees.

The Tour The house presents a handsome double-fronted façade to the street, with crimson red-brick and double-storey bay windows.

A tiled pathway leads to the front porch, opening onto a generous central hallway, where vast proportions and period detailing set the tone for the rooms beyond.

Underfoot, engineered oak flooring runs throughout the principal living spaces.

At the front, a generous living room divides into two distinct, equally bright spaces; each has an ornate fireplace, traditional cornicing above and engineered oak herringbone parquet underfoot.

A large bay window draws natural light deep into the plan and frames views of the tree-lined street, while French doors open to the garden at the rear.

Across the hallway, a second bay window floods the formal dining room with light, and double doors open onto the kitchen, providing privacy when desired.

Designed by Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch, the kitchen is arranged in two parts: A beautifully composed cooking area with a central island and a Smeg range cooker, and an adjoining practical space with built-in storage and a second sink.

The worktops are full-stave American black walnut.

Designed to accommodate the demands of serious cooking and entertaining, as well as the quiet rhythm of daily life, the layout incorporates a dual-appliance configuration featuring two integrated refrigerators and two intergated dishwashers.

Beyond, a light-filled garden room opens to the garden, providing an intimate connection with the outdoors.

Elsewhere, a designated boot room stores coats and shoes, and a utility room and downstairs WC sit adjacent.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom occupies a considerable footprint, with a spacious walk-in wardrobe and an en suite bathroom that features Welsh marble, Perrin & Rowe taps, and a freestanding bath.

Two additional bedrooms sit on this floor and are currently arranged as offices. One has a bright bay window, and the other overlooks the garden.

Off the landing, a generously sized bathroom has a bathtub, walk-in shower, and Bristan taps. Next door, a joyful laundry room is decorated with William Morris wallpaper.

There are two additional bedrooms beneath the eaves, with generous storage and a shared bathroom with a walk-in shower.

Outdoor Space Extending over a quarter of an acre, the garden stretches the rear of the house and has been carefully landscaped, with a series of outdoor spaces set amongst mature plantings.

There is scope for a studio or outbuilding at the end of the garden. The Area Netley Street sits in Farnborough, a Hampshire town with a long association with aviation.

Farnborough’s town centre provides a broad range of shops, cafes and restaurants, and local favourites include Arden and Scott.

The wider countryside of Hampshire, Berkshire and Surrey offers numerous walking and cycling routes, with large green spaces and country parks nearby.

The surrounding area has several outdoor recreational activities, including open water swimming at Quay Swim. Farnborough International Airshow takes place biennially at Farnborough Airport.
