5 bedroom detached house for sale

A superb five-bedroom barn conversion which was reconstructed from its 18th century origins in 2006.

This elegant home presents light and spacious accommodation and benefits from a one-bedroom detached cottage.

The property is situated in glorious South facing gardens of approximately 0.7 of an acre in the South Downs National Park, within easy access of Petersfield and Winchester which both have train services to London.

This superb property was completely rebuilt to legislative standards and as such enjoys all the modern conveniences but with all the best features of a converted barn retained.

The accommodation is well presented with vaulted ceilings, exposed timbers and underfloor heating throughout.

On the ground floor is a spacious dual aspect reception hall. Steps descend to the large open kitchen/dining room with a cosy area for a sofa. The kitchen is well fitted and has a four-door electric Aga and space for an American style fridge freezer. From the kitchen is the utility/boot room, bedroom five and a shower room.

In addition, on the ground floor there are two further double bedrooms, a bathroom and a cloakroom.

On the first floor is a substantial sitting room with contemporary log burning stove. There are two galleried areas overlooking the hall and access to the principal bedroom suite with ensuite bathroom.

A guest bedroom with ensuite bathroom completes the accommodation on this floor.

Outside
A gateway leads to a very large gravel parking area which in turn leads to the car barn with a parking bay, office and store.

Adjacent to the barn is a detached annexe ‘The Bothy’ which has a hall, sitting/bedroom and a bathroom. The Bothy also has underfloor heating and is an excellent space for guests.

The garden is a lovely feature of the property and is mainly South facing. An attractive stone sun terrace lies to the rear of the house with lawn beyond, bordered in places by herbaceous and shrub borders. There is a tiled timber summer house creating an ideal space for alfresco entertaining.

A formal garden lies to the side of The Bothy and a further area of lawn and trees flank the drive.

Situation
The property lies in the South Downs National Park and is situated in the sought after village of Privett which is a collection of hamlets. There is a church in the village, a village hall and within approximately 1.2 miles a shop at the Meon Hut. West Meon, East Meon and Froxfield are close-by whilst Petersfield is approximately 6.6 miles to the East and Winchester 13.2 miles to the West both with mainline stations to London and extensive shopping, recreational and educational facilities.

The A3 at Petersfield is an excellent link to commuter infrastructures as are the A34 and M3 at Winchester. There are many well regarded schools locally to include Bedales, Churchers, St Swithuns and Winchester College.

The surrounding countryside offers footpaths and bridleways in abundance including The South Downs Way.
