House For Sale £1,325,000
The imaginative and sympathetic conversion of the original school at East Worldham has created a fascinating village home. Dating from 1864, the house retains all of the inherent character of a building of this period with well-proportioned rooms with vaulted ceilings and large windows complemented by external elevations of local stone beneath a slate tiled roof. The very generous accommodation includes a stunning vaulted sitting room/dining room - ideal for entertaining, family gatherings and relaxation. This is a magnificent and very welcoming 30 ft./9.14m room with multiple aspects and a fireplace with a wood burning stove. The adjacent family room provides further space and flexibility, with high ceilings and large double aspect windows, a fireplace with a wood burning stove and a door opening out to the rear garden. The spacious kitchen/dining room is well-appointed and has double doors opening to the garden with spectacular views. There is also separate utility room and cloakroom. There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom including a principal bedroom with an en suite.
Importantly, the house is complemented by a three bay, barn with two levels - currently arranged as workshop and home office space together with a garage. There is also a separate studio outbuilding (power connected).
Outside
The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the house and provide a lovely setting with amazing views. The house is approached via a tarmacadam driveway providing ample parking and access to the barn and garage. The inner garden is principally to the south and east of the house and has been landscaped with areas of lawn and a variety of young and mature trees. A terrace provides an ideal outside seating area. Within the grounds there is a detached studio outbuilding and a garden store. The further areas of ground are set within the unspoilt tree lined hanger. The 'Hangers Way' public footpath extends through the top of the driveway and is set away from the principal garden areas to the south and east of the house.
Situation
The house occupies a superb location on the southern flank of the Worldham Hangers. The village of East Worldham is set amidst fine Hampshire countryside between the villages of Selborne, Binsted and Kingsley within the South Downs National Park. There is a public house, 13th Century church, village hall and play ground. East Worldham is approximately three miles from the thriving market town of Alton, which benefits from a good range of individual shops, Waitrose food shop, M&S Simply Food, cinema, sports centre, schooling for all age groups and station to London Waterloo (about 2.5 miles). The surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for many country pursuits with footpaths into the National Park - including the 'Hangers Way'.
