Brambridge House is a very grand Grade II* country house which has been converted into a number of apartments. It is believed to have been built in the 1760’s and remodelled after a fire in 1872 by M. Digby-Wyatt. The River Itchen meanders alongside the entire frontage of the property. The house is H shaped and between the wings at the back is a colonnade of 6 fluted Doric columns with simplified entablature over and with iron railings above to 1st floor balcony. It is a magnificent house and provides a unique and special place to live.

The apartment is accessed via an impressive central Hall with an elegant oak staircase leading to the second floor.

To the rear of the house is a manicured level lawn that leads to a Haha with views down a wide avenue of mature trees.

The apartment has access to the communal gardens. There is a marked parking space to the front of the house and visitor parking to the south
