Beautiful grounds of 16 acres with trout ponds, lakes and streams, a substantial detached two storey property, agricultural stores, large barn and summer house.

This highly desirable property is a truly unique proposition – an attractive detached house surrounded by its own beautiful groundsand with planning consent to operate the lakes and river as a Trout Fishery, with ample trout rearing facilities within the specialised ponds.2

The property is accessed via a long drive within the grounds, flanked by the River Test, lakes and ponds either side. The house itself is very spacious and well appointed, with large comfortable rooms and an excellent flow to the accommodation. The property has been built to the specifications of the owner, ensuring that it is perfectly suited to modern family life and that each room has been built to excellent proportions.

The spacious entrance hall provides access to all the ground floor rooms, including a generous sitting room with a wood burner inset within a feature fireplace and doors to the patio. There is also a downstairs WC and a farm office with external access. The heart of the house is the large open plan kitchen/dining room, with a central island providing bar seating, fitted appliances and plenty of space for a table and chairs. Bifold doors open onto a patio area overlooking the river. A door leads from the main kitchen to a separate farm kitchen situated alongside, which in turn gives access to a sizeable agricultural store. The store can also be accessed directly from the hallway and is linked via a small passageway to a further agricultural store of a similar size. This store has the additional benefits of a kitchenette and cloakroom, with a first floor annexe comprised of a good-sized main room, en-suite shower room and internal storage.

On the first floor the extremely large principal bedroom has an array of fitted cupboards and a generous en-suite with bath and separate shower cubicle. There are two further double bedrooms, both with ample fitted storage, and these are served by a smart family bathroom, also with a bath and separate shower.*

Beyond the house is a third agricultural store including a separate staff rest area with cloakroom and additional space on the first floor. An additional smaller store with its own access adjoins this. A large barn with four roller shutter doors is situated alongside this, and there is a superb summer house in the garden providing another self contained annexe with living space, kitchenette and shower room.

The legendary River Test meanders through the beautiful grounds of approximately 16 acres, and feeds the trout ponds, lakes and streams. There are treatment plants and other outbuildings to serve the complex. Pretty lawns surround the lakes, and there is ample parking throughout the grounds.
