5 bedroom detached house

School House is situated in an elevated position on the southern edge of Wimble Hill, from where the property enjoys commanding, panoramic views across to the South Downs National Park in the far distance. On a clear day one can see Butser Hill. Although the house was only built 45 years ago, it has been sympathetically and cleverly designed with grand Georgian proportions and is elegant. The property is not Listed.

In front of the house is a wide turning circle with plenty of parking and there is further parking behind the house. The impressive, classical portico porch leads into the central reception hallway. The drawing room has a Jetmaster fire, and triple aspect windows with French windows leading out to the west-facing terrace. The study at the rear has a lovely parquet floor and the dining room has French windows leading out to the rear driveway. The kitchen, at the front, enjoys wonderful far-reaching views. There is a central island with a kitchen sink that also enjoys these views. The kitchen is well equipped with Miele appliances, including two ovens, a steamer oven and a microwave. It also has induction hobs. Off the kitchen is a larder and utility room.

The staircase leads up to the first-floor landing with five bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is a single bedroom and is currently used as a dressing room and two of the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. A drop-down ladder leads up to a spacious attic above that is boarded.

From the utility room a back door leads out to a log store and rear parking area. Beyond is a one-bedroom, self-contained annex over two floors that could equally be used as a games room with a home office above. Above the double garage is a second self-contained, one-bedroom annex.

The garden is particularly special and includes a productive vegetable patch with an asparagus bed, an agiframe brassica cage, fruit cages, a greenhouse and an irrigation system. Within the fruit cages are strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries and blueberries. There is also a rose garden and a garden shed. The orchard has apple and pear trees and there is a productive walnut tree too.

In front of the garden is a paddock with two loose boxes. To the other side of the lane is a field.

School House lies on the front edge of a small rural community of six properties, surrounded by stunning Hampshire countryside with a good network of local footpaths and bridleways. The property is accessed off a quiet country lane and is about 2 miles from the popular village of Crondall. Crondall has a village shop/post office, church, village hall, primary school, cricket ground, tennis court, park and golf course. The Plume & Feathers at Crondall, The Chequers Inn at Well and The Anchor Inn at Lower Froyle are all within a short drive from the property.

Within about 3 miles is the attractive and historic market town of Farnham, renowned for its medieval and Georgian architecture. Farnham provides a comprehensive selection of shops, including a department store as well as numerous cafes, bars and restaurants, together with a Waitrose, Sainsburys, leisure centre and sixth form college. Slightly further afield (about 13 miles) is the cathedral city of Guildford.

There is an excellent choice of schools nearby including Lord Wandsworth College, Frensham Heights, Barfield, Edgeborough, Prior's Field School, St Catherine's and Charterhouse.

Fleet, Farnham, Bentley or Winchfield mainline stations have services to London Waterloo. There is also good access to the M3 (J5) which links with the M25 and national motorway network. The road network gives good access to Heathrow, Gatwick and Southampton airports.
