0.3 mile from Grateley Station, a recently rebuilt substantial family house, extending to about 4,617sq ft, done to a shell finish.
Description
April Wood was completed in 2023 and provides a substantial and largely rebuilt house, extending the footprint of the previous dwelling, and creating a modern family house of 4,671 sq ft over two floors. The house is principally constructed of brick with timber cladding on the upper floors, under a slate roof.
The entrance hall lies at the heart of the house, with half-glazed double doors leading directly ahead to the triple aspect sitting room and, separately, a further set of half-glazed doors leading to the open plan kitchen and dining area. The sitting room faces out over the rear garden, with two sets of French doors opening the patios on either side. It interlinks with the kitchen and dining area, creating a lovely open-plan family area with accommodation that flows beautifully. Bi-fold doors lead out from the dining area to a rear patio.
The kitchen has not been fitted but has been left in shell finish, ready for an incoming buyer to be able to design the kitchen of their choice. It is wired and plumbed in readiness and the Vendor is willing to work with a buyer, subject to contract, to help install the kitchen.
Three further rooms on the ground floor have been designed and built to provide flexible accommodation, but would most likely suit use as a study, a ground floor bedroom with en suite shower room (requiring installation), and a family room. There is a plant/utility room and a cloakroom with WC.
An oak staircase leads to the open galleried landing, with all five principal bedrooms accessed off. The floor finish has been left bare for an incoming buyer to choose their own style of finish. Of note, the Vendors have made use of the excellent ceiling height in the landing area and installed tall doorways, creating a wonderful sense of space and light. The bedrooms would all be described as “double” and the smallest of them extends to 21’ in length. Three of the five bedrooms have en suite shower rooms (requiring installation) and two have a ‘Jack and Jill’ shower room between them, also requiring fitting out.
Outside
The house is accessed from the village road onto a resin bonded driveway, with parking for several cars. To the left is a former garage, now providing a workshop and stores but which could easily be reinstated as a garage. There is a south facing patio off the sitting room and a slate path wraps around the house, providing easy access to all rooms. The lawned garden runs parallel with a belt of mature woodland, leading down towards fields and farmland views.
Location
April Wood is situated at the northern end of the village of Grateley, which is surrounded by farmland with ancient footpaths and droveways. The village has a primary school, 13th Century Church, a pub, a golf driving range and, perhaps most importantly, Grateley Station, which is on the main line to London Waterloo (journey time approximately 80 minutes). The station is 0.3 mile from the house. Further communications are excellent and the A303 is just 2.5 miles to the north.
The pretty market town of Stockbridge is approximately 8 miles to the south, offering independent shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, art galleries, a delicatessen and traditional butchers.
The larger town of Andover is also approximately 8 miles by road and the beautiful Cathedral City of Salisbury is about 15 miles south. Salisbury has an excellent range of shopping, educational, cultural and leisure facilities, as well as a Playhouse and a twice weekly market.
Good local schools are numerous and include Farleigh Prep School, Salisbury Cathedral School, Chafyn Grove, Godolphin, Dauntseys and Winchester College, as well as Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools.
There is racing at Salisbury and Wincanton and golf courses in Andover (Andover Golf Club and The Hampshire Golf Club).
The Test Valley is renowned for its fly fishing and the River Test is considered the preeminent location.
All distances and travel times are approximate.
