House For Sale £1,350,000

The accommodation includes a reception hall with a study area and a charming beamed drawing room with an inglenook fireplace and bread oven, dining room and large family room. The house was extended to take full advantage of the setting and the family room provides further space and flexibility with the added benefit of a balcony and steps to the garden. There are four bedrooms as well as a family bathroom and ground floor shower room. The house is not listed and is believed to date to the 18th Century with later additions in the 1960s and 1980s.

Situation
The active village of Hawkley stands amidst fine Hampshire countryside within an area of outstanding natural beauty within the boundaries of the South Downs National Park. The village forms part of a very special and unspoilt landscape of small copses and open countryside all set between wooded hillsides known as ‘Hangers’. The village has a strong community with a public house - ‘Hawkley Inn’, church and recreation / cricket ground with hall. The surrounding area provides ample opportunity for many country pursuits including the South Downs Way. Everyday facilities are available in the larger village of Liss (about 3 miles) which also has a mainline station to London and provides access to the A3 (connecting London and Portsmouth). The market towns of Petersfield and Alton provide a range of facilities and mainline railway stations to London.
Outside
The gardens and grounds are a very special feature of the property and provide an idyllic setting with a wooded dell, a natural haven, with the boundary marked by about 500ft of frontage to Oakshott Stream. The grounds are laid to lawn with a variety of trees including a number of old apple trees and a vegetable garden.
