5 bedroom detached house

Kents Farm blends the character of its origins,
with the practicality of an extended family
home, which has doubled as a place of work
too and ideally suited to equestrian enthusiasts
or a home business. The reception hall features
a wood-burning stove, beams and to one side
gives access to a drawing room with Jetmaster
and study with fireplace. On the opposite side
of the hallway, a corridor links a formal dining
room, with parquet flooring and glazed doors
to a south facing verandah, and the generous
farmhouse kitchen which has at its heart an
ESSE stove and space for dining, an alcove for
relaxed sitting and a door leading to the walled
garden. A door leads through to the utility room
and garage.

The first floor is accessible via a staircase by
the kitchen and also by the central stairs, and
comprises five bedrooms, with two bathrooms
and a shower room. Many of the bedrooms have
a southerly orientation.

Nether Wallop is set amidst some of the finest
countryside in Hampshire, renowned for its
natural beauty and excellent walks and rides.
The village has a church, pub, village hall and
garage with a village store in Over Wallop.
Stockbridge on the River Test offers a wide
range of boutique shops, art galleries, a range of
places to eat, a deli and the popular butcher.

The cathedral cities of Winchester and
Salisbury and market town of Romsey are
within reasonable driving distances and
there are regular train services from Grateley
to London and the South West. The A303
provides excellent road communication to the
West Country, and to London linking to the M3
motorway and the A34 for access to the north
and south coast.

Stockbridge and the surrounding area have an
excellent selection of state and independent
schools. Wallop Primary school feeds into the
Test Valley School with Peter Symonds College
at sixth form in Winchester. At independent
preparatory level there is Farleigh, Princes Mead,
Pilgrims’ and Twyford, and at senior level, St
Swithun’s and Winchester College in Winchester,
Embley Park and Stroud in Romsey and in
Salisbury Godolphin, Salisbury Cathedral School
and Chaffyn Grove.

The property is approached through a double
gated entrance onto the driveway, which leads
past the house up to the garage, the barn and
the forge beyond. Parking for numerous cars is
available and there are lawned areas either side, with high boundary walls affording privacy,
and well established planted borders and paved
pathways. A covered verandah to the front of
the house provides an area for outdoor dining
and seating with a sunny, southerly aspect. A
further area of garden, also with a high wall boundary, is located to the rear of the house, with paved terraces and a rose arch providing additional opportunities for dining outside. Beyond the forge, a track across a further area of lawn with planted borders gives access to the paddocks.
