Description
Accessed through electric gates, the driveway to Frost Hill Farm runs adjacent to its paddocks with excellent views of the house and gardens. The principal part of the house was once a gamekeepers house and dates back to 1856. The rear of the house was extended by the current owners in an arts and crafts style. The front door opens into a naturally light entrance hall with flagstone flooring. The wide hallway gives access to all the main reception rooms on the ground floor. The drawing room is well proportioned and boasts a large open fireplace. There are French doors leading out on to a south facing terrace which wraps around the house. The study is across the hall from the drawing room and is fitted with bookcases and doors out to the garden. The dining room is accessed from the main hall and enjoys a south westerly view across the gardens. The kitchen/breakfast room is the hub of the house and has a range of bespoke cabinets, with an island, granite worktops, AGA and good sized larder. There is a working fireplace as well as underfloor heating throughout. Off the kitchen, there is a rear hall which is used as a boot room/utility and cloakroom. The family room is adjacent to the kitchen and is fitted with a log burner.
There are 6 bedrooms on the first floor, all focussed around a wide central landing. The principal bedroom has an adjoining dressing room and bathroom and enjoys wonderful far-reaching views. There are 5 further bedrooms, two of which are en suite and one family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
Adjacent to the house is a purpose built outbuilding. The ground floor consists of a temperature controlled wine store, garage, machinery store and office for the self-contained staff accommodation. The staff flat is across the top floor and has an open plan kitchen and living room, with one bedroom and bathroom.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The house sits in wonderful gardens and grounds with a superb balance of formal and informal spaces, consisting of mature specimen trees, herbaceous borders, rose garden and large netted kitchen and fruit garden.
The swimming pool is to the south west of the house and is surrounded by large outdoor entertaining area with a built in BBQ. The pool house is fitted with a kitchen and there are two changing rooms.
The land at Frost Hill Farm is split into two paddocks with vehicle access from the front gates. A bridleway runs along the boundary on the land, providing excellent hacking across the surrounding countryside and walks into Overton.
Location
Frost Hill Farm occupies an outstanding location within a conservation area on the outskirts of Overton at the foot of the North Hampshire Downs, part of which forms part of Watership Down. The area is one of considerable natural beauty and extremely convenient for day to day living. The thriving villages of Overton and Kingsclere provide a number of shops, restaurants, public houses and a surgery. Basingstoke is also within easy reach with more extensive shopping and recreational facilities.

Frost Hill Farm is very well placed, with regular trains to London Waterloo from Overton (61 minutes) and Basingstoke (47 minutes). The M3, M4 and A34 are all easily accessible.
EDUCATION
The area has a very good selection of schools. Cheam is only 6 miles away, and there are many other excellent independent schools in the area including Elstree, Horris Hill, St Gabriel’s and Downe House.
LEISURE
There is horse racing at Newbury, Ascot and Salisbury, with golf courses at Overton, Andover, Newbury and Leckford. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its excellent walking and riding, with an adjacent bridleway being accessed directly from the property. The area is well known for its country pursuits with a number of excellent shoots nearby as well as first class chalk stream fishing on the nearby Anton, Test and Kennet rivers.
