The Old Granary

Picturesque, well-resented property in rural Hampshire with five bedrooms, outdoor dining pavilion & swimming pool within about 1.5 acres of established gardens with a grass tennis court.


Description

The Old Granary is a picturesque property set behind a white picket fence and adorned by a wisteria. Understood to have been originally built in the 1700s with later additions the property offers over 3,300 sq ft of versatile and well-presented accommodation.

An attractive timber frame and brick open porch arrives into an entrance hall leading through to the principal reception rooms which are in the oldest part of the house. These comprise a formal dining room and a welcoming sitting room with characterful beams, an open fireplace with a brick surround and timber lintel and log storage.

Further on is a second hallway providing access through to a brilliant room within the original granary, with a pitched roof with exposed timbers, an exposed brick fire place with a log burner and access out to the garden. This room is used as an office and would make an excellent family room.

Double glass doors from the entrance hall invite you into the family kitchen, where there is space for everyday dining and is open plan to a conservatory providing a comfortable informal space with a wonderful view of the garden. The kitchen is fitted with Smallbone bespoke cabinetry in a traditional style with granite work tops, a central island, range oven and built in appliances.

Connected to the kitchen is a boot room with double doors opening out to the garden and a utility room which links to a secondary hall. Accessed from the secondary hall there is a guest wc/shower room, which has dual purpose as changing facilities for the outdoor swimming pool.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom, is wonderfully bright with a double aspect view out over the garden, built in wardrobes and an en suite shower room.

There is a guest bedroom with an en suite shower room and two further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. The fifth bedroom is located above the office and is served by the shower room on the ground floor below.

Outside, adding to the scenic white picket fence is a wide gravel driveway with a topiary hedge boarder and established attractive planting to the front area of garden. The driveway provides parking for several cars and access to a detached garage.

Immediately to the rear is a paved terrace which extends to surround an outdoor swimming pool and outdoor dining pavilion. The garden includes areas of formal gardens with well-kept lawns, with established and well-maintained flower beds and attractive trees.

Further on in the grounds is an open expanse of lawn, a pretty green house and vegetable garden and a fenced, grass tennis court.

In all the garden measures around 1.5 acres.
