A wonderful converted Grade II Listed former barn with stunning countryside views from many of the rooms. This property is located in Longwood Dean, a tiny hamlet close to Owslebury village amidst rolling Hampshire countryside to the south east of the City of Winchester. The house is converted from the younger end of a sixteenth century barn which can only be used for storage and from which the house is thoroughly insulated for both fire proofing and sound proofing. With accommodation approaching 3000 square feet including the garage, self-contained studio flat and workshop this character home is surprisingly spacious. However, the bathrooms and kitchens still date from the 1980’s. There are many attributes to the property which has historically been used as commercial office premises before being adapted back to a residential dwelling. One of the appealing features of this home is the layout of ground floor reception rooms which link together effectively, including a spacious kitchen/breakfast room, a roomy double aspect sitting room with a further long sitting room/family room on the other side of the kitchen area and a wonderful welcoming reception dining hall. A utility room and WC with shower completes the ground floor accommodation. The first floor comprises four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Externally the garden is a stunning feature of the property, ideal for entertaining, with a large patio terrace accessed directly from the kitchen/breakfast room. Upon entry to the plot from a very quiet lane, the main section of garden is accessed immediately to the right of the driveway providing off road parking for many vehicles leading up to the double garage. Within the garage building the side and roof has been converted to a separate self-contained studio with kitchen, bathroom, bedroom/lounge perfectly suited to multi-generational living or sub-letting.

The property is set within a tiny hamlet on the fringes of the rural village of Owslebury, south-east of Winchester which is approximately a 15 minute drive away. Owslebury itself is a delightful village that has beautiful countryside walks, a local school, St Andrews Church, and a village hall. There is the popular Ship Inn public house and a cricket ground that has been in use for approximately 150 years. The historic city of Winchester offers many famous attractions and amenities. Communications are excellent with the M3, A34, and A303 within easy reach. The nearby village of Shawford, just over 10 minutes away, includes a mainline station with journey times to London Waterloo in just over an hour.
