Spacious family home near Alresford

Westfield House is a spacious family home which extends to approximately 2,000 square feet and provides the opportunity for a purchaser to create a superb residence in an idyllic spot close to sought-after Alresford.

The house is in need of some improvement and modernisation and, having previously been granted planning permission to extend (now lapsed) it offers the opportunity to extend into a very substantial house with paddock and woodland.

The house is believed to have been built around the turn of the 19th century and is set in an elevated, but sheltered spot which affords very attractive views over open countryside. The house is accessed by Andrews Lane and is the last house before the road becomes an unmade green lane. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, attractive high ceilinged drawing room which opens onto a similarly proportioned dining room, garden room, kitchen, rear utility hall, cloakroom, third reception room and large walk-in larder on the ground floor.

On the first floor is the master bedroom with its en suite, three further bedrooms, the family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

The extensive garden lies to the side and rear, with lawned areas, mature specimen trees, fruit trees, vegetable garden and a garden store. There is a terraced area immediately to the rear of the house with steps up to access the elevated garden and the copse beyond. The woodland is very attractive and in addition to providing an amenity area for the house it provides a level of privacy and shelter together with some beautiful long range views across open countryside back towards Alresford.

Situated off a quiet country lane, Westfield House enjoys an imposing position in a scenic rural location close to the village of Ropley, within striking distance of the picturesque Georgian Alresford which has been voted Country Life’s favourite market town in the South East. With a good range of shops, boutiques, restaurants and cafes it has a lovely atmosphere.

To the west, the cathedral city of Winchester provides a more comprehensive range of facilities with a wide range of both private and state schooling.

The A31 provides a good link to Winchester and to Alton, both of which have frequent rail services to London Waterloo in under an hour.

Westfield House is priced at £850,000. For more information contact Carter Jonas on 01962 383640 or visit www.carterjonas.co.uk.
