Home Farm House

Once three cottages, Home Farm House is now a large period home, constructed of brick elevations under a tiled roof. Extending to over 4,000 square feet, the four-bedroom, three reception-room house has been comprehensively renovated over the last four years by the current owners, though it does now need some cosmetic finishing. The work carried out so far includes: full-fibre, super-fast internet connection; new limestone floors downstairs; traditional painted shaker-style kitchen with Aga; three luxury bathrooms; full electrical re-wire (plus a 10kW solar array on the south-facing roof); new mains-drainage groundwork connections; new central-heating system (including all-new pipework, radiators and gas boiler with pressurised water cylinder, plus a 4000 litre LPG gas tank installed underground); a large garden-room extension was added last year which looks out onto the private, half-acre walled garden.

The property presents a unique opportunity for a buyer who wants to complete a character property to their own taste.

Just under 1 acre (Further 2.5 acres to rent directly to the rear by separate negotiation)

SITUATION
A303 2.8 miles, Grateley 6.6 miles, Andover 11 miles, Salisbury 15 miles,Winchester 29 miles, London 82 miles
Mainline Trains: Grateley to London Waterloo (80 minutes), Andover to London Waterloo (71 minutes) International Airports: Southampton 40 miles, Heathrow 68 miles

Home Farm House lies in a quiet, rural position on the south-west corner of Tedworth Park, near the small town of Tidworth on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border. It is unlisted and enjoys attractive views over adjoining farmland, pony paddocks, Tedworth Park Polo Club and The Salisbury Plain. The property benefits from excellent communication links with the A303 2.8 miles to the south, connecting London and the west country. The Cathedral Cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both a half-hour drive away. Basingstoke (M3), Southampton (M3), Newbury (A34) and London (M25) are all easily commutable. Mainline train services are available from Andover and Grateley, providing direct access to London Waterloo within 71 minutes.

Education The area is well positioned for public and private schooling with an excellent range of schools in the Salisbury area including Bishop Wordsworth and South Wilts Grammar Schools, plus a host of private schools including Godolphin and Chafyn Grove. Dauntsey`s, Warminster, St Marys Calne, Marlborough College and Winchester College are also accessible. Tidworth, Kimpton and Shipton Bellinger have primary schools and the highly regarded Wellington Academy (the state catchment school) lies to the east of town. More comprehensive state school information can be obtained via the local authority at wilts.gov.uk.

Local, Sporting & Recreational Tidworth offers an excellent range of services including two supermarkets (Tesco and Lidl), a leisure centre with swimming pool and gym, a library, a new skate park and sports pitches (including The Oval athletics track, rugby, football, cricket and polo grounds). Tedworth Equestrian, which has three horse-riding arenas, is sited a short hack across the park or along Humber Lane where riding lessons are available. Showjumping and dressage competitions are held there regularly and the Royal Artillery Pony Club holds rallies there for youngsters with their own ponies. Tidworth Garrison Golf Club is situated about half a mile way. There is a doctor`s surgery, dental practice, post office, garage and a public house. A more comprehensive range of shopping, cultural and recreational facilities are available nearby in Andover, Salisbury, Winchester, Basingstoke and Southampton (all with Waitrose stores).
There are abundant walking, cycling and outriding opportunities directly from the property into the surrounding Salisbury Plain countryside via abundant bridleways and byways with open access. The Plain is particularly spectacular around Tidworth, being rare lowland chalk habitat, most of which is designated SAC (Special Area of Conservation) and therefore is not intensively farmed, but instead allowed to naturalise as wildflower meadows, native scrub and woodland. This area of the Plain is owned by the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and as such is open to the public for most of the time (except certain areas during MoD training times). It is exceptional horse-riding country.

Old Cob Barn
To the left of the farmhouse is an old cob barn. The current vendors received a favourable response for a pre-app for a two room extension, which would work well as home office or ancillary accommodation (stpp). It has parking for two cars.

Approached from a quiet lane, Home Farm House sits to the north of an old farmyard, the barns of which have been converted into seven luxury homes.
It enjoys it`s own private grounds of just under 1 acre, with a substantial private driveway from Humber Lane, and parking for upwards of five cars.
