The Coach House, Old Alresford, Hampshire

The Coach House is a generously proportioned three-bedroom detached home forming part of a development of beautifully restored 18th-century farm buildings, tucked away on the edge of the highly sought-after village of Old Alresford.

Originally comprising a stable, tack room and farm workshop, the property sits centrally within a substantial plot and includes an underground rainwater-harvesting reservoir. Presented in good condition throughout, with double-glazed windows, the house offers good potential for extension or even complete redevelopment, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Upon entering, the entrance hall leads to a reception room that could equally serve as a third double bedroom. Opposite is a ground-floor shower room and WC, creating an ideal guest suite arrangement.

The principal living and dining room is a particularly attractive space, enjoying a triple aspect that floods the room with natural light. Features include an open fireplace and two sets of double doors - one opening into the conservatory and the other onto a delightful south-facing terrace.

The kitchen/breakfast room is well proportioned, offering a wide range of fitted units and ample space for informal dining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a large utility and boot room, with direct access to the garden.

On the first floor are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal bedroom features exposed beams and a distinctive arched window, originally serving as the hayloft entrance. The second bedroom overlooks the garden and neighbouring paddock, where sheep and spring lambs are frequently seen grazing.

Outside, the property enjoys a good-sized plot in a peaceful courtyard setting, combining character, privacy and significant future potential in a desirable village location.

The Coach House is set within mature, well-established gardens that surround the property and provide a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. Predominantly laid to lawn and enclosed by high hedging, the gardens offer a peaceful setting while also presenting excellent potential to be opened up further, creating additional outdoor space and enhancing views of the surrounding landscape.

Bordered on two sides by open countryside, the property enjoys an attractive rural outlook and a strong connection to its natural surroundings. To the front and side of the house, a generous gravel driveway and parking area provide ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles, making the property well suited to both family living and entertaining.

Situated in the highly sought-after village of Old Alresford, this property enjoys a peaceful rural setting within the picturesque Candover Valley. Surrounded by attractive Hampshire countryside and farmland, the village benefits from a strong sense of community while remaining conveniently close to local amenities.
