Description

Harding Severall is a unique and spacious detached rural property enjoying fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. Despite its rural location, it is extremely well connected with the villages of Shalbourne, Ham and Great Bedwyn a short distance away and the larger town of Hungerford c4 miles to the north.

The property is well presented throughout and has been extended over the years to create a stunning home. There is a wealth of ground floor accommodation and of particular note is the expansive kitchen / dining room which is ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. This room really is the hub of the home and links through to the handy utility room.

The sitting room is split into two areas, with the initial snug area enjoying a lovely cosy feel to it, focussed around the wood burning stove. This in turn leads through to the main reception room, a bright and airy room offering spectacular views with bi-folding doors opening up to the garden beyond.

There is further reception room located off the hallway which makes a wonderful study/office for those working from home. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the third double bedroom and family bathroom.

The generous principal bedroom is located at the rear of the property, from where you access the large, decked roof terrace. It is from here where you get the best of the views, the perfect spot to relax and take in the glorious surroundings.

The property includes a number of eco-friendly features including solar panels and a modern wood pellet boiler, installed by the owners with the aim of lowering day-to-day running costs. The sellers advise that they receive combined payment in excess of £2,000 p.a.
