A charming detached 5 bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse with 2 acres located at the heart of a popular village.

Dating from the early 18th century and owned by the same family for over 30 years, Pound Farm is a beautiful double-fronted family home offering more than 4,700 sq. ft. of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged over four floors.

Character features include large sash windows, a wealth of exposed wall and ceiling beams and some original fireplaces. The ground floor accommodation flows from a welcoming reception hall and comprises a large drawing room with exposed wooden flooring and open fireplace, a generous dining room with feature fireplace and useful adjoining store room, and a spacious library with fireplace with bread oven and bespoke shelving. From here there is access to a boot room with garden access and to a fitted utility room with inter-connecting study. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room has a range of base units, an inglenook with AGA, integrated appliances and space for a goodsized table. There is also a sitting room with fireplace and French doors to the side terrace, while the property also benefits from a 23 ft. cellar.

Two staircases rise from the reception hall and library, one an original dog-leg staircase with turned balusters believed to date from around 1700, to the first floor which provides a large principal bedroom with feature cast iron fireplace, fitted dressing room and modern en suite shower room and an additional bedroom with modern en suite shower room.

Three further well proportioned bedrooms, one with Jack and Jill access to the family bathroom, complete the first floor facilities. The property also offers extensive attic space.

Set behind low-level walling topped by mature
hedging and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached through a five-bar gate over a gravelled side driveway providing ample parking for multiple vehicles and giving access to a detached outbuilding with garage and double carport and a two-storey granary, suitable for a variety of uses. The part-walled landscaped garden is laid mainly to level lawn bordered by mature flower and shrub beds and features a shepherd’s hut with paved surround, a sizeable part-gazebo-covered side terrace and a spacious split-level paved rear terrace, all ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. A footpath leads to the property’s two-acre stock-fenced field to the rear.

Set within the South Downs National Park with its wide range of local walks, the historic village of Chawton, home to Jane Austen, offers a good range of day-to-day amenities including a church, village green, village hall, local shops, a tea room, public house, popular primary school and cricket club.
