A unique and substantial modern residence architect designed to a theme of inter-connected converted period barns with traditional outbuildings, featuring impressive oak framing, remarkable accommodation with several garages, an annexe/office and games room, all set within an acre of mature secluded grounds with far-reaching views and backing onto woodland.
Approximately twenty-five years ago, this exceptional home was architect designed and created for the current owners, who imaginatively incorporated many internal and external period features salvaged from their former Winchester house. Designed to have a traditional country aspect, the house is set well back from the road on a beautiful, level, plot of just over an acre; enjoying far-reaching views to the front and Harewood Forest to the rear, creating a stunning rural setting on the outskirts of Wherwell, yet with quick access to the A303, just 10 minutes from Andover shops and railway station, and a short drive to Stockbridge and several neighbouring villages. The gardens are dotted with mature oaks, with formal areas seamlessly merging into wilder spaces, providing a superb environment for children to play and explore and adults to relax and entertain.
The property has a quiet rural setting on the outskirts of the village of Wherwell, renowned for its many period properties with a church, village hall, playing fields, a reputable primary school and country pub/restaurant, currently under refurbishment, planned to open later this year. The river Test runs just half a mile across the fields to the south and there are extensive walks in the Harewood forest to the north. The neighbouring village of Chilbolton (5 minutes drive) has a post office/shop and pub and a charming river walk on the nearby common. The nearby town of Andover (10 minutes drive) offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational, medical and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing regular services to all areas including London (Waterloo) in about an hour. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are approximately 20 minutes and 25 minutes distant respectively.
