House For Sale £1,750,000
This magnificent, converted period barn which forms part of an exclusive development is situated in open countryside just off the A31 close to the charming villages of Ovington and Avington. You enter the property through the most magnificent former cart entrances into a grand vaulted reception / dining hall. The impressive oak timber frame barn, rich in character with exposed beams, vaulted ceilings and superb oak joinery provides a spacious and warm family home.
The property has been meticulously looked after and loved by its current owners; these are their favourite parts of the property.
“We loved the barn style exterior of the property and when we came into the triple height hallway and saw the amazing space inside, we instantly loved it, ” say the current owners of The Long Barn. “The stunning views out onto the fields immediately won us over too, and we could see ourselves being very happy here.”
Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. “We incorporated an existing double carport into the kitchen to create a wonderfully light and airy open plan kitchen, dining and living space, ” they say. “This is now where we spend most of our time as a family or when entertaining. We also commissioned a local carpenter to build a bespoke bookcase on the landing, so we now have our very own library in which to curl up with a good book. The upstairs sitting room is another favourite space, with its double aspect log burner and a balcony looking out over the fields.”
Outside, the garden serves as an extension of the indoor living and entertaining spaces. “The garden looks straight out into the surrounding countryside, ” the owners say, “with al fresco furniture allowing us to sit back and enjoy the view. Our children love the ‘secret’ path which runs around the side of the garden, while the ample lawns have played host to countless birthday celebrations and children’s parties.”
The local area has much to recommend too. “We are very close to Alresford town, which is a lovely place to potter around the shops or stop to feed the ducks, ” say the owners. “Winchester is within easy reach in the other direction for further amenities, too. The best part of living here is being surrounded by beautiful countryside, watching the sun rise over the fields first thing in the morning, until it sets at night.”
