Stratton Park, Micheldever, SO21

Built in 1824, The Clock House is believed to have been the coaching house, staff quarters and stables to the original mansion. Converted in the early 1990s, this particular property holds centre stage in the development having the original clock tower. There are many wonderful features throughout this handsome property such as tall ceilings, Georgian style windows, decorative cornicing, dado rails and wooden flooring. The current owners have carried out extensive work to create two very generous bedrooms both with attractive en suite bathrooms on the first floor. On the ground floor the kitchen was reconfigured to create an open plan space accommodating a dining table and benefiting from two Georgian style windows to the front and a glazed door to the attractive rear garden. The dual aspect sitting room also features a Georgian style window and French doors to the garden and a fireplace with wood burning stove creating an attractive focal point. A ground floor w/c completes the accommodation although planning permission was previously granted to create a contemporary, single storey, glass extension to the rear of the property. WCC planning ref 20/01836/HOU (now lapsed).

Outside

The property is approached via a private tree lined drive leading through the parkland for approx. 0.5 mile arriving at a cobbled courtyard area shared by the residents, each of whom have two designated parking spaces. In addition there is space in front of the house for three to four vehicles. The owners have invested significantly in restoring and landscaping the south facing 84 ft. garden. A paved terrace adjacent to the house makes an ideal spot for outdoor entertaining, beyond which is a level lawn area edged by a well-stocked shrub border to one side and a paved path with espalier fruit trees to the other. At the end of the lawn there is a heritage apple tree and a further raised border planted with lavender and clipped box topiary. Steps lead to a lower paved terrace providing a wonderful sheltered seating area at the end of which there is part of the original loggia providing a covered area and two garden stores.
