Homestead Farmhouse represents a unique opportunity to live in a rural and secluded location with excellent communications. The property lies in an unspoilt valley, typical of Hampshire's rolling countryside and only four miles from Alresford.
The farmhouse is well set back from the lane within its own courtyard of traditional farm buildings ensuring privacy. These outbuildings offer potential to be converted into alternative uses subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and include a granary on saddle stones, a pretty brick and flint stable barn, a coach house and a large oak framed tythe barn. The grazing land around the house extends to approximately 5.15 acres (2.08 hectares) and the owners have recently created an interesting conservation area with pond and trees.
The farmhouse itself is thought to date back to at least the 1700's. Originally two cottages, the property has been sensitively restored to provide practical family accommodation of seven bedrooms and four reception rooms over three floors, plus a utility room, cellar and conservatory. Totalling around 287 sq metres (3,089 sq ft) this house is full of interesting additional features including exposed timber frames and a large inglenook fireplace.
The number of traditional and modern outbuildings offer a host of opportunities with the principal barn thought to date back to circa 1738, boasting an impressive beamed ceiling with Queen post trusses, struts and braces. The garden is currently laid to lawn and surrounded by hedging.
This is a unique opportunity to further develop a wonderful rural family house, rarely is such a property seen on the market for sale. For further information and the full details contact BCM on 01962 763900
