6 Bedroom Detached House for sale in Hampshire
Outside
The house is approached through a pair of wrought-iron gates inset to a high level brick wall flanked with pillars either side. The gravelled driveway leads to the front of the house where it widens to provide ample parking and turning space. The parkland style gardens surround the house on all principal elevations and are predominantly laid to lawns with deep shrub borders and an established tree lined perimeter. A lovely original verandah and terrace on the south elevation provides the ideal combination of sun and shade for al fresco dining, entertaining or simply drinking in the outlook over the sweeping lawns. To the north of the main house is an enclosed, level paddock with gated access from the driveway to an enclosed yard with a WORKSHOP & SHELTER of block construction with an open fronted livestock shelter and concrete hard standing apron and adjoining workshop. There is a secondary vehicular access into the yard area via a track that runs from the village through road.
The property features a further range of useful outbuildings, the most distinctive of which is the impressive TRIPLE BAY, coach house style GARAGE with 3 sets of high clearance double doors. Power and light is connected and a staircase rises to a full length, first-floor STORE ROOM/WORKSHOP. Beyond the house is the 'PUMPHOUSE', an original brick outhouse for a former garden irrigation system now utilised for storage but prime for conversion into studio/office/ancillary-accommodation (subject to planning permission/regulations consent).
