Little Orchard

At the heart of the house there is a spacious triple-aspect sitting/dining room which has a woodburner and sliding glazed doors to a conservatory, which in turn has double doors to the terrace and garden. There is a large fitted kitchen which includes a seating area, and a door to an east-facing conservatory to enjoy the morning sun. A guest bedroom suite to the front of the house has an en suite shower room, there are two further bedrooms and a separate shower room on the ground floor. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en suite bath/shower room. There is a second bedroom with an adjacent box room and a study.

Set back from the village road, the tarmac drive runs alongside the front lawn and leads to a parking area and garage/store. The generously proportioned garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and hedges providing privacy. There are established shrub and flower borders, raised vegetable beds, a wildlife pond and a stone terrace.

The property benefits from a solar power system giving 4.0 kw of power. This is sufficient to reduce the cost of electricity consumption from the national grid by about 50%. (NB unchecked).

The house is located in the village of Itchen Abbas in the South Downs National Park. This is a highly sought after village situated between Winchester and Alresford, with a primary school, village hall and pub. The pretty Georgian market town of Alresford is about 4 miles away and provides a more comprehensive range of shops and amenities and there are frequent direct trains to London Waterloo from Winchester railway station (4.8 miles).

Itchen Abbas Primary and Henry Beaufort Secondary are the catchment schools. The surrounding area has a range of highly regarded schools including St. Swithun's School for girls, Winchester College for boys, Perins Community School and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College, Prince's Mead, Twyford and Pilgrims' prep schools.
