House For Sale £1,250,000
Properties in this type of location are rarely available on the market making this a unique opportunity for a discerning purchaser to acquire this superb home in an enviable riverside setting.
Situated in one of the Test Valley’s most desirable villages this detached 1950s property has been in the same ownership for approximately 50 years, testament to its splendid setting and success as a family home.
In its current form the property offers generous proportions in the principal areas and a logical layout that maximises the views. However, there is further scope for extension and/or redesign subject to obtaining the necessary permissions and consents giving a buyer the opportunity to stamp their own mark on this very special home.
In total the property extends to over 2700 sq. Ft.
Including the attached garage and whilst in need of refurbishment throughout the property offers generously proportioned accommodation with good ceiling heights and excellent natural light.
The layout is such that the principal rooms are situated to the rear of the property offering uninterrupted views across the gardens to the river and meadows beyond.
On the ground floor the entrance hall leads to all rooms including the 26ft, triple aspect sitting room with doors out to the terrace. Adjacent to the sitting room and next to the kitchen the spacious dining room features a walk-in bay window which also provides wonderful views to the rear. A later addition to the property is the large utility area accessed via the kitchen which leads in turn to the cloakroom and the attached double garage. A ground floor shower room completes the
accommodation on this level.
On the first floor the two larger bedrooms are situated to the rear of the house providing elevated views of the grounds and the river. All of the bedrooms have built-in storage and are served by the family bathroom on this level.
Outside
The gardens lead down to the River Test at the rear boundary where there are beautiful views across the water to meadows on the opposite bank. The gardens are mostly laid to lawn and are well stocked with a variety of mature trees and shrubs. An elevated terrace accessed from the sitting room provides a relaxing space to enjoy
the views across the garden. To the front there is a tarmac driveway with ample private parking and access to the double garage.
Situation
Wherwell is one of the Test Valley’s most picturesque and sought-after villages, home to a wealth of character cottages, an excellent village school, local pub, church and common. Surrounding the village there are many footpaths ideal for dog walkers and many country pursuits locally such as riding, hiking and cycling, with the River Test famous for its fly fishing. Further amenities can be found in nearby Stockbridge (4.5 miles), Andover (4.8 miles) and Winchester (10 miles).
