5 bedroom house

The generously proportioned reception hall, with its vaulted ceiling, very much sets the scene as you enter the property. There is a feeling of light and space throughout the whole house. The triple aspect drawing room is of ample size, and contains a feature inglenook fireplace. Doors lead out to the rear garden. The bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen is open plan, which includes a breakfast area and a walk-in larder. The ground floor double bedroom with en-suite bathroom includes a sunken bath. This room could serve very well as a home office. There are two staircases in the property, with the master bedroom accessed via one, and currently separated from the other first floor bedrooms and bathrooms, which are accessed via the main staircase, off the reception hall. If required, it would be possible to connect the first floor together. The self-contained studio/annex is a bonus feature, and is perfect for use by adult children, family members or staff. It could also be used as an office, cinema, or gym. The driveway to the front provides easy parking for six cars and adjoins mature front gardens. These run down the side of the property to the rear. A particular feature of the gardens are the beautiful brick walls to two sides, which are the original walls to the old kitchen garden of The Grange, a listed manor house nearby. One of these walls faces South, and is the perfect spot for the mature grape vines planted by the base of the original green house. This could be re-built as a green house, a games room, swimming pool, or exercise room, subject to the normal planning consent. In this area there are also plum, apple, cherry and pear trees.
An archway through the second wall leads to a further private section of the garden, adjoining neighbouring paddocks. Here there are two garden sheds and a log store.

Situation

Hartley Wintney is a charming and very sought after Hampshire village just over an hour’s drive to the West of central London on the M3. There are very regular train services from both Fleet and Winchfield connecting to Waterloo. Grangecroft is about 0.7 of a mile from the High Street where you will find a selection of ‘boutique’ shops, restaurants and coffee shops, a local pub, traditional butchers and bakers along with antique shops. More extensive shopping facilities can be found in the nearby towns of Fleet and Hook.
The village also boasts a long-standing cricket club and popular golf club as well as football and tennis clubs. Both Tylney Hall Hotel at Rotherwick and The Four Seasons Hotel at Dogmersfield are close by which have extensive facilities including golfing, riding and fine dining.
