About this property

A beautifully appointed detached family house standing in grounds of about 1.5 acres and occupying a stunning elevated location with amazing rural views.

The generous living accommodation was designed to take full advantage of the setting with fine views from each of the well-proportioned reception rooms. The excellent integrated living accommodation provides an ideal layout for everyday living and entertaining with the family room adjoining the kitchen / breakfast room and folding doors opening out to the south-east facing terrace. The kitchen is fitted with a range of Ash fronted cabinets, granite work surfaces and a Rangemaster stove. In addition, there is a dining room with fine views and folding doors opening out to a west facing terrace. The large separate study / bedroom 5 opens into the garden room. The garden room provides a very appealing and bright space with a lantern roof and French doors opening out to the rear garden. The drawing room provides yet further space and flexibility as well as a potential home office/ ground floor annexe.

There are four double bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor including a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom and also a guest suite.

Of note, planning permission was granted to extend the north-east side of the house to provide potential further living space, if required (Ref: 27721/006/FUL). The house is complemented by generous gardens and grounds and also has the benefit of an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and hard tennis court.

Outside
The house is approached via a long shingle driveway providing access to the front and the detached double garage with electric roller doors. The house stands more or less centrally within its own generous grounds and takes full advantage of the wonderful rural views to the south and west aspects. There is a broad expanse of lawn to the front and several ideal outside seating areas fringed with flowering plants and shrubs. The garden to the rear has been landscaped with a paved terrace and a rockery beyond leading to further areas of lawn and a hard tennis court. Two timber sheds. The indoor swimming pool / sauna is located to the side of the house with sliding doors to the terraces to the front and rear.

Situation
The house occupies a rarely available location (yet only about half a mile from the village centre) off a tranquil lane with stunning views towards the Hattingley Valley vineyard and open Hampshire countryside. Medstead is a thriving and very active village centred around a village green and hall with a strong community and a broad range of clubs and societies for all ages including a cricket club, tennis club, bowls club, and gardeners club to name a few. The village also has the benefit of a number of amenities with 'The Castle of Comfort' Inn, C of E primary school, St. Andrew's Church, local shops and cafe. The beautiful surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for many country pursuits with footpaths leading directly from the lane. The market towns of Alton and Alresford both provide a good range of facilities with two secondary schools, sixth form college and a station to London Waterloo at Alton and the well renowned Perins secondary school at Alresford. The regional town of Basingstoke and the cathedral city of Winchester collectively provide a wider range of facilities as well as access to the M3 and mainline railway stations to London Waterloo.
