Gascoigne Lane, Ropley, Alresford, Hampshire, SO24

An outstanding family residence set on an elevated plot of just under half an acre, commanding delightful south-facing views over open countryside. Lovingly cared for and carefully upgraded over the past 30 years, the home was significantly renovated and modernised in 2015/16. It now provides spacious, well-proportioned accommodation perfectly suited to contemporary family living.


The ground floor is particularly impressive, beginning with a spacious and welcoming entrance hall. At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room extending from front to back. The recently refitted kitchen is both stylish and practical, featuring an extensive range of storage units and drawers, twin built-in ovens with a warming drawer, a sink with Quooker tap, and a substantial central island with induction hob, ceiling extractor, integrated wine fridge and breakfast bar while a bespoke dresser with display cabinets, shelving and drawers enhance the breakfast area. The adjoining family space centres around a wood-burning stove with oak mantel and opens onto the terrace via French doors. Porcelain floor tiles run seamlessly through to the utility room, which is finished to the same high specification and provides space for washing machines and dryers.

The drawing room features a striking exposed brick inglenook fireplace with wood burner and oak mantel, along with a large south-facing bay window that floods the room with natural light. There is a direct connection to the dining room, where French doors open directly onto the garden — ideal for entertaining. A fully fitted study and guest WC complete the ground floor accommodation.
Upstairs, a bright and airy landing leads to four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The spacious principal suite enjoys views across farmland and benefits from fitted wardrobes and a generous en-suite bathroom with a separate double-width shower. There are two further double bedrooms, one with its own en-suite shower room, while the remaining bedroom is served by a well-appointed family bathroom.

To the front, the property is approached via a gravel driveway providing ample parking and access to a double garage, above which is a boarded loft room with window offering potential for conversion (subject to the necessary consents). The grounds are enclosed by post-and-rail fencing and accessed through twin electric five-bar gates.

A terrace spans the rear and side of the house, creating an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The gardens are mainly laid to lawn and designed for ease of maintenance, with a purpose-built store to the side for garden machinery. In addition, the field to the front is collectively owned by the residents of Gascoigne Lane, safeguarding the uninterrupted green outlook for the future. Agent Note : The sale of the field share is available by separate negotiation.
