Description

Townsend House is a wonderful village house, nestled within the picturesque countryside village of Crondall. This Grade II listed home has been meticulously refurbished throughout and effortlessly combines stylish design with modern comfort. Boasting an annexe and equestrian facilities, including stables, yard and paddocks encompasses around seven acres of land, this property is a dream for those seeking a rural lifestyle.

There are two entrances into the home. The principal entrance is via the front entrance, where you are greeted into the property through an attractive panelled door into a glazed, enclosed porch and into a reception hall where the sense of style and quality of finish is immediately evident. The other entrance is to the side of the house accessed from the garden which provides a perfect everyday entrance to the house, arriving into a boot room.

Throughout the property, period charm has been thoughtfully retained, from the white rendered and timber façade, with elegant wood floors, ornate fireplaces, and sash windows with shutters. The TV and family room are arranged with a dual aspect fireplace between them, offering two comfortable areas for family living.

A fabulous feature of the ground floor is the family kitchen, which has elegant high ceilings, cornicing, ceiling roses, an attractive fireplace and dual aspect tall sash windows. The bespoke, fitted kitchen has been designed so that space is optimized for storage and there are integrated appliances and an AGA. The centerpiece of the kitchen is a substantial island which is perfect for casual dining and food preparation. This kitchen seamlessly marries style and functionality and is a practical and efficient space for cooking, dining, and entertaining. There is also a laundry room and a guest cloakroom, which are both stylishly appointed.

From the laundry room, there is access out to a courtyard, perfect for secluded alfresco dining and entertaining.

A turned, balustrade staircase leads to the first floor. The principal bedroom is a sanctuary of comfort, with space for a sofa to enjoy the warmth of the log burner set in the fireplace, and enjoys the view out towards the garden and farmed fields that surround the village. There is also an elegantly appointed en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms, one with a pitched ceiling and exposed beams and they both enjoy a view across Hampshire fields. The family bathroom is classically appointed with a freestanding bath, traditional vanity sink and stylish marble tiling.

The independent annexe to Townsend House is as stylishly presented as the main house and is equally well appointed. The annexe offers a comfortable living space, a fitted kitchen, double bedroom and en suite. This is ideal for guests, extended family.

Outside, the front of the property is enclosed by a wall and has a pretty brick laid path to the front door. Attached to the property there is a useful and spacious workshop and storeroom.

A track to the right side of the property leads to a gated parking area which provides parking for several cars and there is also a three bay carport.

The parking area also gives access to the stables and onward to the paddocks.

The garden is largely level, with a border of mature trees and there is a paved terrace. There is also an area of natural woodland with some impressive specimen trees.

The equestrian facilities include a stable yard, three stalls, a larger stall and tack room/hay store. There is a school measuring approximately 20x40 metres and three large paddocks extending to around 7 acres.
