4 bedroom detached house

A spacious, individual home with a wonderful, open-plan kitchen/dining room extension, an annexe/studio over the garage and separate garden studio/summerhouse. The property is set on a secluded 0.45 acre plot in this delightful semi-rural location with excellent walking and bridleways nearby. Built circa 1905, Homestead has a lovely, character feel and an excellent flow to the rooms, which is centred around the large entrance hall. The house has been extended in several phases to create a welcoming, family home, and is presented in good condition throughout, having been decorated in 2022, with new bathrooms installed at the same time. 

The property is approached from the driveway, with an enclosed porch and sizeable entrance hall, from where stairs go up to the first floor. To the left is a study, whilst on the right is the generously proportioned sitting room, with a wood-burning stove and sliding doors to the garden. The heart of the home is the fabulous kitchen/dining room, which extends out into the garden via French doors, and has a good range of units and drawers, with granite worktops and integrated appliances. Double doors from the kitchen open to the light and airy family room. There is a utility room and cloakroom. 

Upstairs, off the landing, the spacious, principal bedroom has triple aspect windows and an en-suite shower room. There are two further double bedrooms, a large single room and a family bathroom. 

Outside, 5-bar gates open to the expansive gravelled driveway, and to the double garage, which has twin doors. Steps to the side of the garage lead up to a large, overhead room with its own en-suite shower room, which can be used as an annexe, hobbies room, or workspace. The rear garden enjoys a good degree of privacy, and is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of small trees. There is a timber-built garden studio/summerhouse at the top of the garden, which is used as an office.

The charming village of Ellisfield is conveniently located on the edge of the Candover Valley, about six miles south of Basingstoke.
