If you dream of deluxe country living, with two acres of private land surrounded by rolling farmland, this detached, 3 bedroom family home in Winchfield could be your property dream come true.
Accessed via a gated entrance, an elegant, tree-lined driveway leads you to the front of a stunning, red-brick home dating back to the 1700s. Walk through the front door to be welcomed by original features complemented by impeccable modern interiors, bringing character and style together seamlessly.
A useful porch, reclaimed flagstones, original wooden beams and a wood burner create a warm welcome in the reception hall, inviting you to explore the rest of the home. Immediately to your right is a large utility room, ideal for cleaning boots after muddy country walks. There is also a convenient WC and storage, perfectly suiting busy family life.
Alternatively, to your right from the reception hall is the spacious family room which, with its wooden beams and wood burning stove, is the ideal space to unwind with loved ones. A door leads directly to the garden from this space, keeping you in touch with that glorious countryside and creating an effortless flow between indoors and out.
This family home for sale includes a dining room with country views and a characterful stable door which opens to those beautiful gardens. This is the ideal place for hosting cosy or formal dinners, or perhaps a setting for the children to complete their homework.
Leading directly from the dining room or through a separate door to the left of the reception hall is the real showstopper of the main residence: the large, open-plan kitchen/breakfast/sitting room with jaw-dropping vaulted ceiling and feature wooden beams. Pale flagstones, skylights, dual aspect windows and bi-fold doors to the terrace create a bright, airy space which is ideal for entertaining. If you’ve ever coveted chic country living, this room alone is surely the realisation of that fantasy!
High specification fitted appliances, two central islands, integrated storage and space for a large dining table make the kitchen/breakfast room a functional yet delightful place to spend time. The sitting room end of this open plan area is distinct yet connected, with yet another wood burning stove adding a sense of cosiness and country charm. Whether you’re enjoying everyday family meals, large celebrations or time together with friends, this heart of the home is welcoming and effortlessly adapts to every occasion.
Back in the reception hall, stairs lead to the first floor where you’ll find three large bedrooms and a family bathroom. Original features such as exposed beams bring character and charm while the master bedroom boasts its own red brick fireplace. The family bathroom enjoys a separate shower and bath, and the small fireplace set into the chimney breast adds quirky charm.
Outside the main residence, this family home for sale in Winchfield enjoys beautiful gardens and two acres of land. There are raised beds for fruit and vegetables, a terrace ideal for BBQs, a wildlife pond, and an enclosed, sunken area perfect for reading a book in the sun. This is complemented by lawns, great for children to safely wear themselves out with a football or playing hide and seek amongst the trees.
As if that wasn’t enough, this picturesque country home is completed by a separate building with an office, carport, double garage, store and even a cellar, solving all of your storage problems in one. Plus, if you love to play host, family and friends will feel more than welcome as there’s room to easily park 10 cars on the private drive.
If all of this space still leaves you wanting more, there is lapsed planning permission to convert an additional store which is attached to the main home into a single storey extension. The current owners have certainly done an exceptional job of creating an idyllic country home, but you still have the opportunity to really stamp your mark.
