Privett

An attractive and well appointed village house with delightful gardens and wonderful rural views.

The Property - An attractive, well-presented and significantly updated brick and flint village house offering comfortable, welcoming and versatile accommodation understood to date back to c. 1901. Formerly a pair of farm cottages, over more recent years the house has evolved to become a lovely, detached family house arranged over two floors, offering a clever mix of character features combined with modern conveniences. The property offers particular notable features including a spacious, vaulted kitchen / breakfast room with exposed beams, Aga and wood burning stove, a well proportioned and comfortable drawing room with exposed timbers and open fireplace, three further reception rooms, five bedrooms and a lovely country position affording wonderful rural views.

Outside - Approached through a five bar gate, a gravel drive leads to the detached double garage and parking area. The beautifully arranged gardens are a particular feature of the property offering formal terrace areas in which to relax and entertain with the remainder of the garden being principally lawned, interspersed with attractive, well stocked mature floral beds and numerous mature trees. The garden affords the most delightful rural views across neighbouring farmland towards the village church in the distance. In all the sunny, enclosed southerly facing gardens extend to approximately 0.46 Acres (0.186 ha).

Location - Enjoying a lovely country position in the heart of the South Downs National Park, between Petersfield and Winchester, Hemplands is located on a quiet lane enjoying a lovely rural outlook to both the front and rear. Privett is a pretty hamlet which forms part of the Parish of Froxfield, where there is a village primary school, village Hall, church and a shop/post office. The nearest village facilities are available a short drive away in West Meon and for a more comprehensive range of shopping, sporting and leisure facilities including Waitrose and a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo, Petersfield is the nearest centre 6.7 miles away. The larger cities of Winchester and Guildford are also within reasonable driving distance as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast. The surrounding countryside is crisscrossed by a number of footpaths and bridleways providing great scope for both riding and walking. There is an excellent range of educational facilities in the area including Bedales, Churcher’s College and Ditcham Park School in the private sector and TPS and Bohunt in the state sector, together with further choices in Winchester and Alresford.
