Worldham Hill, East Worldham, GU34

A very impressive and spacious Victorian barn sympathetically converted in 2002 to create a home of real character and charm that takes full advantage of the features associated with a building of this period. The barn is beautifully appointed and the generous and imaginative accommodation includes a magnificent living room, extending to 24’1”/7.3m with a stunning high vaulted ceiling, double aspect barn windows with French doors leading onto the terrace and south facing rear garden, a central feature fireplace with wood burner, providing a wonderful welcoming space for both relaxation and entertainment. There is also a separate study. The spacious L shaped kitchen/dining room has French doors opening out to a courtyard garden with access to the garage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets with integrated appliances including a Neff eye level double oven and Neff ceramic hob. Of note, there is also a cloakroom and utility room together with underfloor heating to the ground floor.

A wide staircase rises to a mezzanine level splitting into two, one staircase takes you to the principal bedroom with en suite shower room, the other to the second bedroom with an en suite shower room, two further double bedrooms and family bathroom.

Outside

The landscaped garden is a special feature of the house and is to the rear with a south facing aspect. The garden has an area of lawn with borders well-stocked with a variety of young and mature trees, roses and wild flowers. A paved terrace provides an ideal outside dining area, with additional paving to the side for barbecuing. To the side of the property, there is a private courtyard garden with a shed and wood-store and direct access to the garage and front.

Situation

The village of East Worldham is set amidst fine Hampshire countryside within the South Downs National Park. There is a village hall, a 13th Century church and The Three Horseshoes public house. The barn stands in a stunning edge of village location bordering open countryside. This area was well known for its hop growing and the barns were for many years primarily devoted to the harvesting and drying of hops. East Worldham is approximately two miles from the thriving market town of Alton which benefits from a range of individual shops and cafes, weekly and specialist street markets, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and M&S Simply Food, schooling for all age groups and a direct rail line to London Waterloo.
