3 bedroom barn conversion

A superb character home in a wonderful rural setting in the heart of the South Downs National Park, located between Alresford and Petersfield. The barns at Upper House Farm were converted in 1997 and are centred around a central courtyard. The Well House is particularly stunning due to its striking drawing room with vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, and its lovely, south-west facing garden with views over a neighbouring field. Despite its tranquil rural setting, the property benefits from having superfast broadband, as well as easy access to the A32, which links Alton and Fareham. The property is offered for sale with the benefit of no onward chain. The property is approached from the gravelled driveway, where there is parking for 3-4 cars. The front door opens to a hallway and up to the beautiful drawing room, which has an open fireplace, wooden flooring, French doors to either end and stairs up to a galleried landing and cloakroom. Off the drawing room is a bedroom/study and a utility room. From the drawing room, steps lead down to a hall where there is a double bedroom and a bathroom. At the end of the hall, a door opens to the open-plan kitchen and dining room, with flagstone flooring, fitted kitchen units and granite worktops, a large larder cupboard and doors to the garden. From the hall, stairs lead up to a long galleried landing, which is used as a library. A door opens to the light and airy main bedroom, which has a vaulted ceiling, skylight windows, built-in wardrobes and an amazing view of the garden and adjoining field. A gate from the driveway leads through to the pretty garden, which enjoys a sunny aspect as well as a high degree of privacy and seclusion. From the house and garden, there is a lovely outlook over the field. A paved terrace adjoins the back of the house with direct access to the kitchen. A few steps lead up to the lawn, where there are some established flower/shrub borders and a potting shed with electricity; the whole garden is enclosed by post and rail fencing. Woodlands is a quiet rural semi-location, set within The South Down National Park, 4-5 miles from Alresford. The area is surrounded by attractive rolling farmland and downland. The A272, which runs nearby, provides a direct link to the Cathedral city of Winchester which has many excellent amenities including a mainline station to London Waterloo and access on to the M3 north to London or south to the M27 coastal motorway and the ferry ports. To the east, Petersfield has good shopping facilities and access on to the A3. Within a short drive the A272 joins the A32 at the West Meon Hut providing fast access to several towns including Alton, Fareham, Southampton and Portsmouth.

SERVICES Mains electricity is connected. Mains water is pumped to the 8 properties via a pumping station close to the West Meon Hut. There is a shared septic tank drainage system in place. Oil-fired boiler - the oil tanks for the properties are located in a nearby communal area. Gas for the hob is via gas bottles.
