High Street, Selborne, GU34

An individual detached house standing close to the heart of the village with glorious views of the Selborne Hangers. The generous accommodation is set around a galleried reception hall and includes a spacious twin aspect sitting room, conservatory, dining room and study. The sitting room extends to 20'8 ft./6.3m and is a stunning room with an open fireplace and double doors opening out to the conservatory. The conservatory provides a natural link between the house and garden with glorious views. The further accommodation could be arranged to suit a variety of requirements and includes a study (ideal for home working) and a dining room. The accommodation is beautifully complemented by a kitchen and adjoining utility room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets, electric oven and hob with extractor over, butler sink and panelled walls. There is also a ground floor cloakroom. There are three bedrooms to the first floor including a very impressive principal bedroom with a triangular bay window with wonderful views over the garden to the hangers beyond. There is also a family bathroom. Notably, there is a generous loft space (shown on the floor plan) that could potentially be converted to create additional living/bedroom space (subject to any necessary planning and building control permissions).

Outside

The house stands within a very well-tended and landscaped garden providing a beautiful setting. There are areas of lawn with flower and shrub borders and a variety of young and mature trees. An ideally positioned outdoor seating area adjoins the conservatory with shingle pathways extending away to the rear parking area and front. A shared driveway to the rear leads to the private parking area for two vehicles and garage. Of note, there is a further area of garden to the side of the house and adjacent to the front door. There are delightful views from the garden to the Selborne Hangers.

Situation

Selborne has a strong community with a public house - 'The Selborne Arms', St Mary’s Church, village hall and Selborne C of E Primary School. The village is set amidst fine Hampshire countryside between the villages of Hawkley and Farringdon within the South Downs National Park. Renowned for its association with Gilbert White, the 18th Century naturalist, the village is home to Gilbert White’s House and Museum and is surrounded by scenery of outstanding natural beauty lying at the foot of a beech covered hanger. White’s Café forms part of the Museum and is a popular village meeting place. The larger centres of Liss and Alton collectively provide a range of facilities as well as mainline railway stations to London Waterloo. In addition, the A3 can be accessed at Liss providing a route to London and the south coast.
