Description

Little Rye Farm House is a Grade II listed period country farmhouse with Georgian origins, with later additions. This charming property has been meticulously extended and renovated to a high standard by the current owners, offering spacious accommodation in the main house together with a separate two-bedroom cottage. It is situated in a stunning and convenient location, backing onto fields.

The owners have carefully preserved the period features and charm of the house, which boasts elegantly proportioned, light rooms with high ceilings, sash windows, and deep skirting boards.

Upon entering through the front door, framed by handsome columns, you are greeted by a generous entrance hall with elegant details, leading to the drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, and dining room. Stairs lead up to the bedroom accommodation.

The drawing room is a beautifully proportioned triple-aspect, double reception room with a front-facing bay window, an exposed brick open fireplace, and bifold doors that open to the terrace and a south-facing garden, perfect for al fresco dining.
A second reception room offers a homely space, ideal for a playroom.

The bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is exceptional, designed with a large centre island and bifold doors also opening southward onto the garden terrace. There is an abundance of natural light, ample storage, a range oven, integrated appliances, and room for dining. Adjoining is a walk-in pantry/utility room and cloakroom.

Onward from here is a tucked-out-of-the-way study, a cozy secluded room, perfect for working from home or as a TV/den.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with a separate shower and south-facing views of the garden and surrounding fields. There are five further bedrooms served by two well-appointed shower rooms, all with stunning views of the surrounding countryside.
A separate cottage is attached to the property, providing useful ancillary accommodation, with two bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor and a kitchen, sitting room, cloakroom, and a utility room.

Outside, you arrive at the front of the property via a long driveway leading to the beautiful columned open porch.

The front garden is mostly lawned, and there is plenty of parking at the front of the house as well as a single garage in the adjacent outbuildings along with a stable and woodstore.
There is also a rather splendid fully refurbished oak framed Granary on staddle stones which could be used as an office/studio or games room.

The formal gardens are quite stunning and south facing with a sunny rear terrace, open lawns, mature trees, and hedges. The property also has an area of paddock, all backing onto beautiful Hampshire countryside.

In all, the plot measures around 2 acres.
