Description

A terrifically rare opportunity. Situated in a very private clearing within its grounds near the Watercress Meadows, this substantial house is a wonderful opportunity for those looking to develop a property in a stunning location. The plot of approximately 6.7 acres offers an array of wide lawns, long drive, private lake, streams and mature woodland. No onward chain.

LOCATION
Situated in genuine seclusion, the plot is adjacent to the Alresford Watercress Meadows, and yet just a 30 minute walk to Alresford town centre. Bus routes are nearby, as is open countryside for scenic walks. There are some wonderful riverside walks on the doorstep. The lovely Tichborne Arms is a 30 minute walk alongside the river Itchen, and The Bush Inn at Ovington is 25 minutes walk, also alongside another branch of the river.

Exterior 
Previously a prominent trout farm, the substantial grounds of Ladycroft Lakehouse have now been beautifully tailored into a private residential plot. The approach through the watercress meadows is beautiful, leading to a long private drive sweeping through the grounds to the property. Situated in a clearing of trees, the house position is very private indeed, with no other properties in sight.  There is a private lake, which is regularly home to swan families, flocks of ducks and other birds. The expansive lawns are well tended and lined with a series of natural streams fed by the nearby spring. There are an array of outbuildings, including a cabin with three rooms, brick-built store and large shed.  A portion of the plot has been rewilded and could be cultivated into a lovely woodland walk. The drive winds round to a small car park adjacent to the courtyard which offers further parking.

Double Garage
The detached double garage is a great size, with two up-and-over doors, two windows, power and light. 

Interior
The front door leads into the hall with stairs turning up to the gallery landing. From the hall, there are doors to all ground floor accommodation. There is also a large cupboard. 

Sitting room
The living room is a great size, spanning over 25'. There are two sets of double doors, and a window into the conservatory.

Dining area
The dining area has sliding doors into the conservatory.

Kitchen
Offering a full range of high and low level units with timber drawers and doors, the kitchen is a good size, with an aperture and steps down to the breakfast room. Features include waist-level oven and grill, 5-ring gas hob, and triple sink. 

Breakfast room
Double sliding doors to the patio and grounds. Stable door to the conservatory.

Conservatory
Three sets of double sliding doors to the grounds. A great space for entertaining. 

Utility room
Plumbing for utilities, boiler. 

Boot room/WC
Handy boot room next to an exterior door and guest WC.

Study
A versatile room currently used as an office, but could serve well as a dressing room for the adjacent bedroom, or family room/play room. 

Bedroom
A good-sized double room, with ensuite bathroom. Relatively simple reorganisation of this side of the house could create an annexe.

Ensuite
Bath, WC and basin.

Landing
The landing is an attractive full gallery, with doors to all first floor accommodation. 

Bedrooms
There are four bedrooms on this floor, all doubles. Two have built in wardrobes, and all have lovely views of the grounds surrounding.
