Hay Place Lane, Binsted, Alton, Hampshire, GU34

This attractive detached brick and stone built home is not listed and is thought to date back to the early Victorian era. In the 1950’s it was extended in a very sympathetic way adding large entertaining rooms, the kitchen, and the majority of the bedrooms. The house provides flexible living accommodation with potential to further extend and modernise, subject to gaining the necessary planning consents.

The accommodation is full of light with a welcoming entrance hall with a log burner and parquee flooring. From here doors lead to the principal reception rooms including the dining room which looks east with views over the Hangers. There is a large statement staircase which leads up to the first floor to a spacious landing. From here there is access to a large principal suite with wonderful rural views as well as a bathroom and dressing room with full height fitted wardrobes. There are six/seven further bedrooms and two bathrooms on this floor. Stairs lead up to an extensive attic floor which could be converted to create further residential accommodation if required, subject to the necessary consents.

The house currently uses the estate drive which winds past farm cottages and into the west-facing parking area to the front of the property. The drive splits before the house with a secondary drive taking you onto redundant period farm buildings and more modern agricultural barns (all available by separate negotiation)

The gardens at Hay Place are exceptionally quiet and private. The kitchen garden slopes up away from the house to a large south-facing wall, perfect for growing a number of fruits and vegetables. The main garden sweeps around the house and is divided by mature hedging which focuses the eye over the Hanger and wildlife beyond. There is also a lovely private wooded path from the house down to the Hanger and farmland beyond. To the front of Hay Place is a large open field with attractive Copse beyond.

Hay Place is situated on the southern edge of the village of Binsted, a small and popular east Hampshire village. Binsted benefits from excellent transport links from the A31 to the North and A3 to London and beyond. To the northeast is the popular Surrey market town of Farnham which provides a wide range of shopping facilities, some excellent schooling and recreational activities. To the southwest of Binsted is the Cathedral city of Winchester providing a wider range of cultural highlights, leisure activities and some well renowned schooling.
