4 bedroom detached house

Home Farm is an individually built family home set in over five acres including paddocks and a range of equestrian facilities. Designed and built by the current owners, the main house comes with planning permission to substantially extend offering potential to create a wonderful residence in a beautiful location.

There is also planning permission granted for a separate detached bungalow to the south-east corner of the plot.

Upon entering the main residence, you are greeted by a welcoming reception hall which hosts a guest cloakroom whilst providing access to all principal rooms. The sizeable sitting room features a dual aspect outlook to the front and rear enjoying far reaching views across the garden and paddocks beyond, leading through to the formal dining room. Both rooms have patio doors and as such offer direct access to the garden and offer a bright and airy feel. Similarly, the kitchen/breakfast room enjoys lovely views and has been fitted with a range of matching units with granite work surfaces over, space for an American-style fridge freezer and range cooker, supplemented by a useful utility room. The first floor provides access to four good sized bedrooms and two bathrooms including a principal bedroom with an en-suite. To the side of the property sits a spacious double garage with utility area at the rear and large studio/office space above.

There is a splendid range of equestrian facilities including ten stables, a feed room, tack room, two wash bays, two-bedroom grooms’ quarters with kitchen and sitting room, international sized (60’ x 20’) Martin Collins surface ménage, a five-horse walker and four large paddocks enclosed by three bar fencing. Additionally, there is a one-bedroom split level apartment situated within the barn and stable area. This accommodation consists of a 27” x 18” living room with kitchen area and stairs leading to the first floor where a bedroom and shower room can be found.

With over five acres of garden and paddock land, the property enjoys a private entrance leading to the barn, yard and house. The sweeping driveway affords ample parking in front of the main house and double garage and also allows vehicle access to the fields beyond. The gardens to the front and side of the property are mainly laid to lawn and are enclosed by three bar fencing denoting the paddocks from the formal garden area to the rear of the house.

The property benefits from two licences from Winchester City Council for the breeding and home boarding for dogs, which the vendor has undertaken commercially for 10 years.
