Borough Court Road, Hartley Wintney, Hook, Hampshire, RG27

Brimming with character and charm, this stunning six-bedroom Grade II listed house is believed to date back to the 17th century and has been sympathetically extended, reconfigured and renovated by the current owners to an extremely high standard. Retaining a wealth of period features including exposed beams in most rooms, this remarkable home effortlessly blends historic elegance with luxurious modern living.

Set within grounds of just under two acres, the property boasts a swimming pool, tennis court, and an array of mature gardens, paddocks, and outbuildings — all backing onto open countryside.

Upon entering the entrance hall an opening to the right leads to the formal drawing room with fireplace and wood-burning stove, which flows through to both a study and dining room. A second sitting room, also with a wood-burning stove, features two sets of patio doors opening out to the garden — perfect for relaxed family living.
The heart of the home is the spectacular 40 ft vaulted family kitchen, flooded with natural light and fitted with Neptune cabinetry, an electric AGA with induction hob, integrated appliances and a large central island. This space also benefits from underfloor heating and offers a generous informal dining/sitting area with two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace and garden — ideal for entertaining. Adjoining the kitchen is a boot room, utility room and a shower room. From the boot room, stairs lead to a charming mezzanine landing and a sixth bedroom, offering guest accommodation. A WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite has far reaching rural views and features a walk-in dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are four additional bedrooms, one of which has its own en suite plus a beautifully appointed family bathroom. A secondary staircase provides convenient access to the ground floor.

Outside, the property is approached via wooden gates opening onto a gravel driveway, leading into a picturesque courtyard to the front of the house. The rear garden is a true haven, with a large terrace, an established kitchen garden with vegetable beds, sweeping lawns, mature trees and hedging and well-maintained paddocks.

Additional features include an orchard with fruit trees and fruit cage, a swimming pool, a tennis court, field shelter and a stable with feed store. The paddock benefits from a separate gated access via a farm track leading to the main road.

This exceptional home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully restored and thoughtfully updated period property in a peaceful countryside setting — ideal for family living, entertaining and enjoying the great outdoors in privacy.
