Tunworth Road, Mapledurwell, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG25

A beautiful five bedroom village home with land and outbuildings.

Description

Located in the centre of the picturesque and well-connected village, Nunnery House is a beautiful five bedroom home with useful outbuildings and far reaching views over Hampshire countryside.

The peaceful village of Mapledurwell has a popular pub, The Gamekeeper’s, and a parish church, hall and recreation ground, and being a Conservation Area means it is full of quaint and historic buildings. There are many footpaths and bridleways for countryside walks, including walks along the chalk stream that bisects the north of the village.

Originally converted from a farm building, the house has been extended and improved by the current owners, and features brick and oak clad elevations under a clay tiled roof.

The property is entered via an oak framed porch into an entrance hall with access to a cloakroom and utility/boot room with an external door. This leads to an impressive sitting/dining area, with vaulted oak beamed ceilings, a log burning stove and doors out to the terrace. This area is open to the kitchen, fitted with bespoke painted shaker cabinetry, integrated appliances and a sizeable island with counter seating.

The remainder of the ground floor is open plan, with a study area that has cabinetry to match the kitchen, and more formal dining and sitting areas that both feature oak beams. The dining room has doors to the terrace, and the sitting room has views out to the garden and an open fireplace with a log burning stove.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms that all have fitted wardrobes and views over the garden to countryside beyond. The principal bedroom has oak beams and an en suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are served by a shower room and a family bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower.

Outside, the terrace has space for seating, dining and an oak pergola and leads to a fenced area of lawn with trees and mature shrubs. There is also a detached garden room and a covered area that could be used for storage or to house an outdoor kitchen. Beyond the main garden, a driveway sweeps around to an oak clad triple garage with store and workshop, that is surrounded by an area of field and an orchard of fruit trees. Stairs lead up to two first floor offices with a kitchenette and cloakroom, a perfect set up for those who work from home.
