The reception rooms on the ground floor are well arranged, with the drawing room, sitting room, dining room and study all located off the main entrance hall. All the rooms have high ceilings and are well proportioned, with the drawing and sitting room being especially attractive, with large windows with double doors opening out onto the south-facing lawns. The kitchen, breakfast and family room features a delightful oak framed extension, with views across the garden and opening out onto the terrace and swimming pool area.
On the first floor, the main bedroom suite is a generous space with a large dressing area and adjoining bathroom. The bedroom enjoys spectacular views across the surrounding countryside. There are three further double bedrooms and two bathrooms. On the second floor is a further bedroom and two large attic rooms, which could potentially be converted into further bedrooms, with consent.
Outside, the house sits within attractive garden and grounds extending to around 4.14 acres. The house is approached via electric double gates and a driveway sweeping up to a large parking area. The main lawn, to the front of the house, is a beautiful and private space, enjoying a southerly aspect. There is a terrace area alongside the house which can be accessed from the kitchen and leads out to the swimming pool. This private area is west-facing and perfect for outdoor entertainment. The remainder of the land is laid to grass, with a hard tennis court, stabling and the garage block with a one-bedroom flat above, ideal ancillary accommodation.
The house is set within a stunning location surrounded by open countryside with fine rural views, a short distance from the village of Itchen Abbas. This is a hugely popular village in the Itchen valley, with a pub, village hall and primary school. The market town of Alresford is just over 4 miles away and the village is close to the cathedral city of Winchester (6.7 miles away) which offers an excellent range of shops, restaurants, cultural facilities and a
mainline railway station to London Waterloo.
Schooling in the area is excellent with the local village primary school and nearby private schools including Princes Mead, St. Swithuns School, Pilgrims, Winchester College and Twyford. In Winchester there are also excellent state secondary schools and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.
The neighbouring countryside offers endless walking, cycling and horse-riding routes across an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways. Itchen Down Farmhouse is also within proximity to the River Hamble and a number of Marinas which serve as a gateway to the Solent, ensuring easy access to first class sailing and boating opportunities. The area offers renowned fishing on the world-famous Itchen and Test Rivers. Furthermore, the nearby New Forest National Park and South Downs National Park offer a further array of water sports and outdoor activities.
With regard to other sporting activities, there is an extensive choice of excellent golf courses within easy reach, cricket at the Utilita Bowl in Southampton and horse racing both at Ascot and Goodwood. The performing arts are similarly well provided for, with the farmhouse being part of The Grange Estate with it's renowned summer opera festival. The Mayflower, Winchester Royal and Chichester Theatres also provide a number of dramatic productions.
