Hartley Grange, Grange Lane, Hartley Wintney, RG27

The Property

An outstanding manor house conversion in a truly unique setting, less than a mile from the centre of Hartley Wintney Village. Comprising of the original central section (including the main entrance) of the historic Hartley Grange manor house and formal grounds of approximately 0.8 of an acre. Originally built in the 17th Century and now Grade II listed as part of local Hartley Wintney History, this is a truly unique property.

Ground Floor

From the main entrance foyer there is an inner hall currently used as a reception room. Beyond there is a central hallway which is home to the grand original main staircase up to the galleried landing. There is also a WC sited under the stairs. From the central hall, there is access to the kitchen, which has recently been refitted to a high standard, now benefitting from a large island with breakfast bar with stone worktop and containing a Neff oven, and secondary multifunction oven/grill combination with warming drawer below. The rest of the kitchen is equally well appointed with a range of cabinetry and worksurface areas, with Belfast sink an induction hob, brushed brass cabinet furniture and mixer tap as well as under cabinet lighting. Off the kitchen there is also a separate utility room/larder/laundry room. From the central hall, there is also access into the simply stunning sitting room, complete with ornate ceiling plasterwork and over 22ft in width. This room continues the high specification herringbone parquet flooring from the rest of the ground floor, and compliments it with a bay window dining area with views over the garden and fields beyond, as well as a feature fireplace. Off the sitting room, there is a study which has an external door to the driveway and internal double doors leading back to the utility area.

First Floor

Upstairs there are three bedrooms all accessed from the vast galleried landing area atop the staircase. The principal bedroom closely mirrors the dimensions of the sitting room below, and offers a modern en-suite bathroom with shower over bath configuration. Bedroom two is to the rear and maintains the same luxurious feel, with a view over the courtyard garden below. Bedroom three is the smaller of the three, but could also still suit as a double room or additional home office space. There is a second bathroom at the end of the landing which offers a large walk in wet-room style shower.

Outside

The property has a total plot of around one acre (roughly illustrated in our photography and accompanying map). To the front there is generous parking for a number of vehicles on the shared driveway, as well as a twin garage. One garage has been converted into a fantastic home gym. Off the kitchen there is a private walled courtyard area. The old formal lawn for the manor is the main view of the property and is part of the plot, as well as the two further formal and more private areas of garden beyond.
