Period country house

This very attractive period house near Selborne, deep in the Hampshire countryside, exudes character and is also finished to a high specification with spacious rooms ideal for family lifestyles.

Set in a quiet but not isolated position to the west of Oakhanger Common, the small community has a village green, church and village hall, pub, pretty cottages and outlying farms. A nature reserve of heath, lake and woodland lies to the north and there are good roads to Selborne, Liphook, Alton and Petersfield.

Approached by a sweeping gravel driveway the setting and gardens are a principal feature with well established flower beds, spacious lawns, excellent terraced area and an outdoor heated swimming pool. The grounds extend to two and a half acres and enjoy rural views overlooking paddocks grazed by sheep and llamas.

The entrance hall, with lovely oak floor, opens to a splendid drawing room with glazed doors to a split level study. The large kitchen/dining room is beautifully fitted with an extensive range of units, granite worktops and fitted white goods and opens to a large conservatory, ideal for dining and relaxing.

Further accommodation on the ground floor is arranged as an annexe and has a sitting room, bedroom and shower room.

The double aspect master bedroom has fitted cupboards and shelving with a splendid well fitted shower room. There are two further double bedrooms on the first floor, both with fitted wardrobes and a spacious family bath/shower room; and two further eaves bedrooms and a cloakroom on the floor above.

Available for immediate occupation, a monthly rent of £3,850 is sought by The Country House Company which, they say, is inclusive of gardening. Call the agent on 023 9263 2275 for more details.
