An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial period home, attractively positioned within a semi-rural setting and enjoying superb countryside views.

The property forms part of the historic conservation area surrounding Soberton Pumping Station and offers approximately 1,425 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation, combining charming period features with excellent potential for further enhancement.

Approved planning permission is in place for a substantial extension, a particularly significant opportunity given the property’s location within a Conservation Area.

The existing accommodation comprises an entrance hall, generous sitting room with fireplace and open fire, separate dining room, study/playroom and kitchen leading through to a garden room/conservatory. There is also a cloakroom and useful utility room. On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, with the principal bedroom enjoying far-reaching countryside views and the second bedroom overlooking the rear garden and surrounding rural landscape.

A family bathroom completes the accommodation. Outside, the property is approached via a gravel driveway providing off-road parking. The rear garden is a particular feature, being predominantly laid to lawn with a terrace adjoining open fields. The property backs directly onto the Meon Valley Trail, making it ideal for those who enjoy walking and the surrounding countryside.

The combination of its period character, generous accommodation, outstanding rural setting and significant planning potential makes this a rare and exciting opportunity. Conveniently located close to Wickham and the wider surrounding area, the property is ideally placed to enjoy both village amenities and the beautiful Hampshire countryside.
