4 bedroom house

A grade II* listed home with approaching 3.5 acres of grounds, situated in the heart of the sought-after village of Hambledon which is positioned within The South Downs National Park, with good access to amenities and commuter links. This imposing residence offers in excess of 3,700 sq ft of accommodation with a 2 bedroom detached annexe, granary, garage and outbuildings.A rare opportunity to acquire this imposing residence which has not been on the open market for many years.  



The property is recorded as the oldest house in the village and has over the years been upgraded but, in our opinion, would benefit from further modernisation.



The accommodation is well appointed with spacious principal rooms and character features to include fireplaces and exposed beams throughout.   



On the ground floor is a welcoming entrance hall, a comfortable drawing room with fireplace, a formal dining room and family room also with fireplaces and a kitchen/breakfast room.  There is a conservatory, utility and larder/store and positioned under the drawing room and accessed from the hall is a cellar. 



Upstairs on the first floor are four good sized bedrooms and two bath/shower rooms.   Subject to planning there is scope, in our opinion, to adjust and create en suite facilities if required.
