Description

Field House is a five bedroom Georgian style house in the village of Mapledurwell, a popular Hampshire village just four miles from Basingstoke. The property sits in a secluded location with views over its own land amounting to a total area of around 3.4 acres.

The property provides extensive family accommodation, with further opportunity for a new owner to update the property for modern family living (STPP).

There is also potential, subject to planning permission, to build a detached dwelling on around a quarter of an acre plot on the southeast section of the land. There is currently no separate access to this area or any consented planning.

The house is entered via a welcoming hallway, which leads to the principal reception rooms and a downstairs cloakroom. The double aspect drawing room has an open fireplace with wood surround, four large sash windows and double patio doors to the garden. The twenty foot formal dining room has space for a large dining table and has two windows providing plenty of light. The adjacent kitchen is accessed from an internal hallway with exterior door and leads to a family room/snug with built in bookshelves. There is also a bright, sunny conservatory overlooking the rear garden.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and a built in wardrobe, and there is a guest bedroom with an en suite. There is also a large dressing room leading to a bedroom, which is currently being used as an office, but this could be reconfigured to provide four bedrooms on this floor. Both are served by a family shower room. On the second floor, there are two further bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room.

Outside there is a detached double garage and various useful outbuildings, including two stables. The pretty garden wraps around the house and backs on to its own field. The garden is mainly laid to lawn, bordered by mature trees and shrubs. The field provides the option to keep a horse or pony at home or just a stunning spot to have a large garden with a glorious outlook. From the field, there is access on foot onto Frog lane.
