THIS beautiful barn conversion just outside of Winchester is on the market.

Anyone with a spare £2.5 million can think about moving to this six-bed property, which boasts three bathrooms and three reception rooms.

Elegantly finished and found in the most exceptional location towards the end of Shepherds Lane, Compton, this home enjoys the most splendid far reaching views across rolling countryside.

Charters Winchester, based in Jewry Street, is listing the property.

Their description says: "Walking into this family home you are greeted with a magnificent reception room with a 30ft vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The galleried landing is exquisite and floor-to-ceiling windows and doors at either end of this space drench the reception room in natural light. There are wonderful views of the garden and countryside outside making this one of many perfect places to unwind.

"This space is the heartbeat of the home and leads around to the modern, yet traditional, open plan kitchen/dining room. Designed with entertaining in mind, it has an impressive central island with ample storage space, a beautiful Aga and there is a rather quirky hidden cellar underneath the kitchen which is accessed through a trap door on the kitchen floor, perfect for someone to use as a wine cellar. There is also a very useful utility room and pantry.

"Across the other side of the reception room and into an inner hallway, three of the four bedrooms can be found, again with exposed beams and woodwork. One of the bedrooms has an en-suite shower room and all are close to the family bathroom.

"An imposing staircase leads up to a grand family room. Truly one of a kind, this space is perfect to sit and relax and has a balcony area, ideal for watching the sun rise, overlooking the gardens to the east of the barn on one side, yet to the other side of this room you can look over the gallery into the reception room downstairs."
