Description
A substantially extended and remodelled period home offering extensive and versatile accommodation that is highly appointed, tastefully decorated and beautifully presented throughout. There is a central reception hall with wine cellar beneath, four receptions rooms (one with linked bar area), a stunning open plan kitchen by Martin Moore with island and dining area together with a substantial adjoining utility/boot room. There is a wing of four luxury bedroom suites to one end of the property and the principal bedroom has an oak frame garden room/library, a second central staircase rises to a self-contained first floor guest suite in the central thatched element of the property with sitting/dining room, large bedroom, dressing area, bathroom and WC.
Recent Improvements: The present owners have significantly invested and improved the property within the last two years, namely: Complete internal and external redecoration; refurbishment of all fencing; installation of new electric gates and electric garage doors; refurbishment of all electrics and the installation of LED lights throughout; refurbishment of all plumbing and refitting the bathrooms with high quality sanitaryware throughout; installation of built-in wardrobes in bedrooms; creation of an open plan kitchen/breakfast room with dining area and refitting with extremely high quality units and appliances as well as the installation of underfloor heating; chimney relining and associated works; fitting of new alarms and hard wired smoke alarms throughout; removal of trees and general tree-works and maintenance.
The house is set back from the road and accessed via a track, there are two electric gated driveways one direct to the front entrance porch and the other to a garaging block with stores - each providing extensive parking. The surrounding mature gardens and grounds are generally level and laid to lawn interspersed with mature trees and an attractive entertaining terrace with water and well features benefiting from a southerly aspect. Far reaching country views are enjoyed throughout the gardens whilst being private and there are no immediate neighbours. Despite the extremely rural feel of the property it is easily accessible and within a short distance of St Mary Bourne, a well-equipped and regarded village with two excellent pubs.
