Benifold is a sprawling home packed with character.

An 11-bedroom Victorian home once owned by Fleetwood Mac co-founder and drummer Mick Fleetwood is for sale in East Hampshire.

Benifold, which is located on a peaceful tree-lined road, was built over a period of five years starting in the Victorian period and finishing in 1901. Constructed of brick, it's both wildly charming and characterful.

Sitting centrally within approximately seven acres of gardens and grounds, the property has principal reception rooms flowing around the reception hall, a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room, larder, boot room, wine room, utility space, and ample storage cupboards. It might come with a purchase price of £4 million, but it certainly doesn't disappoint.

The first floor, which is accessed via an impressive staircase, is both light and spacious. On this level you'll find the master suite (it has its own bathroom and dressing room), plus five further bedrooms and three family-sized bathrooms. Head up to the second floor and there are four more bedrooms, two further bathrooms and a separate one-bedroom annexe, too.

Other highlights include the Insta-worthy breakfast bar, lovely soft sofas made for sinking into, pool table, and a striking bookcase in the all-navy study. Some rooms are draped in colour, while others are left more neutral with a palette of white and cream.

The property has had an eclectic mix of owners, most notably Mick Fleetwood and his ex-wife, Jenny Boyd, during the 70s. Mick's love of Benifold was referred to in his 2015 autobiography, where he revealed that the rock band recorded four albums there.

We're certain new owners will love the landscaped gardens, which include mature trees, a tennis court, kitchen garden, sprawling orchard, and pretty flowers. Countryside living really doesn't get much better than this.

Benifold is currently on the market for £4,000,000 with Knight Frank.
