House For Sale £1,800,000
Beautifully presented Grade II listed property with secluded and extensive well kept garden in a sought-after Hampshire village.
Description
Dating from the 16th century, this is a charming village house of immense character in an idyllic Hampshire village setting and an extensive and beautifully landscaped and maintained garden.
The property is wonderfully presented and offers exceptionally light, practical accommodation with an abundance of period features.
The property benefits from an extension which provides the entrance to the property, arriving into the family kitchen/breakfast room. The traditionally fitted kitchen features a gas aga and quarry tile floor throughout and there are double doors opening out to the terrace and garden.
The drawing room features a working fireplace and a lovely bay window looking down the garden and the dining room has a large inglenook fireplace. Further on there is a sitting room which would make a wonderful playroom or home office. All three reception rooms are double aspect and overlook the gardens.
The study overlooks the front of the property towards the church.
The layout flows well and there are doors from the dining room, sitting room and breakfast room to the south facing terrace.
A utility room and a guest WC/shower room complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs in addition to the main bedroom and en suite, there is a guest bedroom suite and two further bedrooms (one used to be two) and a family bathroom.
Outside the property is approached from the quiet village road with a beautiful Norman church opposite, via a five-bar gate which opens to a drive providing additional parking to the front of the garage which has an electric car charging point. The garage is a generous space with a workshop area and first floor games room and subject to the necessary consents could provide secondary accommodation or a home office. The front yard and rear of the garage has CCTV.
The south facing gardens extend to about 1.7 acres and are quite exquisite providing peace and seclusion amongst formal gardens with a wide terrace leading to lawns with shrub and flower borders.
There is a barbeque area inside a beautiful oak framed well house looking over a small pond.
The kitchen garden has a small greenhouse. Adjacent to the house is a classic Alitex greenhouse, offering year-round enjoyment with light, heat and its own tank for collecting rain water. The garden has been opened many times for The National Garden Scheme.
