Barn style home

With architectural influences taken from farm buildings, this four bedroom detached house fits well in its village surroundings and also benefits from open views over National Trust countryside.

The accommodation is thoughtfully arranged over two floors with a central spacious circulation area rising up through the house to a charming galleried landing where a full height glazed recess is the perfect place to pause to read or admire the countryside view.

The good size sitting room on the ground floor has glazed doors to the front and rear and on the other side of the entrance hall double doors open to a superb open plan kitchen and dining room, with doors from the dining area leading out to the side terrace and garden. A utility room has its own access to the garden and there is also a study and guest cloakroom.

Two spacious double bedrooms vie for master status, each having fitted wardrobes and a shower room. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor layout.

A wide paved driveway provides parking for several cars in front of the double garage and there is also a large store attached to the side of the house.

The garden to the rear is well maintained with a terrace area stretching across the back of the house, ideal for outdoor entertaining and the well stocked shrub and herbaceous borders surround the lawn creating a private and secluded space at its prime through the summer months.

Hoptons Retreat is situated on the edge of the lovely village of Kilmeston. Cheriton is less than a mile away where there is a shop, primary school, village hall, church and public house, whilst the nearby market town of Alresford provides further facilities. Winchester is also within easy reach.
