5 bedroom house

Believed to date back to the late 1800s, this former coaching inn sits within the rolling Hampshire countryside.

Set back from the road a path leads to an entrance lobby and hallway with doors to the majority of the ground floor rooms. There is a double aspect sitting room with a woodburner and bay window with views over the front garden. Double doors lead to the dining room which has access to the south-facing terrace with a grapevine clad pergola. The kitchen has an oil fired Aga and leads directly into the south facing breakfast room/conservatory. The remainder of the ground floor is made up of a drawing room, utility room, shower room, larder and steps to a cellar.

Upstairs, the principle bedroom has a wall of fitted wardrobes and stunning views over the surrounding countryside. There are four further bedrooms and two bathrooms (one of them en suite).

The house sits centrally in beautiful grounds of nearly 4 acres and there is a detached coach house with a self-contained apartment on the first floor and a workshop and garaging on the ground floor. Much of the accompanying garden is laid to lawn with an area of woodland and a swimming pool.

Twyford 3 miles, Bishop's Waltham 5.7 miles, Winchester 4.7 miles (London Waterloo from 56 minutes). (Distances and time approximate).
