6 bedroom detached house for sale

The Property:

Believed to originally have been two cottages dating back to the 18th century, the main house retains some beautiful character features, with the accommodation exceeding 1900 sq. ft. The large reception hall has an exposed brick fireplace with a double-fronted wood burning stove shared with the main reception room. The sitting room is a generous space which is open to a large formal dining area with bespoke fitted joinery. There is an additional snug/family room located on the ground floor, again with a brick fireplace and wood burning stove. To the rear of the property is a lovely kitchen/breakfast room with a modern shaker-style kitchen, topped with composite worksurfaces. The utility room provides access to the private courtyard. On the first floor there are four good sized bedrooms, including the principal bedroom which boasts a fantastic ensuite shower room with a dressing room, which could also be used as a nursery or office. A separate bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms.

In addition to the main house, yet completely self-contained, is a fantastic detached single-storey annexe providing valuable additional accommodation for family members and occasional guests. Alternatively, there is a fantastic opportunity for a valuable income stream, either as a short term, holiday let or on a long term basis, as has been done until recently for roughly £1,400 pcm. The single storey detached annexe has accommodation of 717 sq. ft. and boasts a sitting room to the front with a separate dining room and kitchen to the rear. There are two bedrooms and a separate bathroom.

Outside, to the front of the property is a large gravel driveway providing parking for several vehicles, approaching the detached garage. To the side of the house is a large patio courtyard, perfect for al-fresco dining and offering complete seclusion and an original well. Beyond is a raised garden with a lawned area and paved patio, partly covered by a large timber pergola offering shade and shelter. Beyond the garden is a hidden area with a large shed.

The Location:

The property is located in the South Downs National Park in the popular village of Bramdean, which benefits from a nursery, village hall, garage, public house and church as well as beautiful surrounding countryside and popular walks. The nearby village of Cheriton has a well regarded primary school and Sun Hill primary and Perins secondary schools are also just 5 miles away in the Georgian market town of Alresford. The property is on public bus route which connects to the Cathedral city of Winchester and market towns of Petersfield, both of which, along with Alton, are equidistant (approximately 10 miles) and offer further cultural and leisure opportunities and mainline rail links to London Waterloo.
