Hastards Lane, Selborne, GU34

The house is well-appointed and has a contemporary yet traditional feel having been carefully improved by the existing owners to take full advantage of the village setting and south-west aspect to the rear. The feeling of space is immediate with a very large and welcoming galleried reception hall. Features of note include a large L-shaped kitchen/dining/sitting room opening into a conservatory with double doors opening out to the garden. The kitchen is set around an island and is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets together with a range cooker (with an extractor over), butler sink and granite work surfaces. This is a wonderful room that provides an ideal layout for everyday living. The further generous accommodation includes an 18'10/ 5.73m twin aspect sitting room with a broad bay window and a fireplace with a wood burning stove as well as a conservatory. Importantly, there is also an entrance porch and utility room (with an external door).

There are three double bedrooms and a shower room to the first floor including a superb principle bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The property also has the considerable benefit of a ground floor bedroom together with a ground floor shower room. The bedroom could also be used as an additional reception room or study/hobby room.
