THE PROPERTY Wick Hill Farmhouse is a charming unlisted period family home in a secluded rural setting with neighbours and a wonderful converted barn providing incredible vaulted and open plan ancillary space for hobbies, entertaining or overflow space to the house. The views from the house and land are some of the finest in Hampshire and far reaching in parts, it is a unique location and ideal for anyone with outdoor country interests.

The house provides comfortable space on basement, ground, first and second floors with a farmhouse type open plan kitchen/breakfast/dining room at the heart of the house, good boot room and larder for day-to-day life and two well proportioned reception rooms provide more formal space at either end of the house straddling a lovely central hallway. There is plenty of character with exposed timbers, brick/stone walls and inglenook fireplaces. Upstairs the house can flex as family needs dictate with 5 double bedrooms over two floors all of which have interesting views or aspects. The garage has a useful studio room over with shower room and further ancillary space for housekeeper or guest. 

LOCATION Hartley Mauditt and Wick Hill are one of East Hampshire's best kept secrets, secluded and rural yet remarkably accessible. Alton is just under 5 miles away and Petersfield under 12.5 miles to the south. It is a virtually untouched landscape of undulating countryside characterised by ancient wooded chalk escarpments/hangers. Wick Hill is at the end of a no through road and Wick Hill Farmhouse has a dramatic southerly aspect looking towards Selborne, famous for being the home of the 18th Century naturalist Gilbert White. The area is characterised by small villages and farming hamlets spread over a series of meandering lanes with a timeless feel. Whilst secluded there is a vineyard next door and other properties in the lane. There are miles of local footpaths to explore and bridlepaths directly from Wick Hill for those who ride and also a fantastic network of local lanes providing country cycle routes. The nearest shopping facilities are in Alton where the A31 provides good regional transport links to Winchester and Farnham. The A3 is also accessible at Liss, linking to Guildford and Portsmouth on the south coast.

Hampshire is well catered for with top performing state and independent schools all within the region (The Alton School, Bedales, Edgeborough, Highfield, Churcher's and St Swithun's).  

OUTSIDE The garden is arranged mainly to the south of the house with expanses of lawn, a lovely terrace around the back of the house and a small natural habitat pond. Some raised vegetable beds provide scope for the kitchen gardener and the many trees, shrubs and mature boundary hedges create a haven for birdlife and palette of seasonal colour. Adjoining the bottom of the garden is a handy paddock in all the garden and grounds extend to about 3.75 acres (1.51 ha) overall fantastic space for children to free range in or any keen gardener to enjoy.
