Situated within the beautiful South Downs National Park on the outskirts of the old market town of Wickham, a single storey residence tucked away down a long sweeping driveway and nestled within its glorious grounds of 1.6 acres dipping down to the River Meon. This wonderful home has been owned by my client for approximately ten years and has offered a private and tranquil retreat with its outstanding countryside views and elegant accommodation throughout extending to 2367 square feet.
The property is approached via electric wrought iron gates and the driveway is lined with stunning specimen hornbeam and hawthorn trees leading to the ample parking area and double garage with home office above. The front garden features a substantial feature pond and an attractive circular terrace bordered by mature shrubs. On entering the hallmarks of quality are immediately apparent with high polished porcelain floor tiles in the hallway drawing you into the heart of the home. The Sitting Room is an elegant and well-proportioned room, perfect for entertaining and relaxing, and which centres on a large stone fireplace with robust oak mantel housing a woodburning stove; the Dining Room and the Orangery beyond are both generous in size and give lovely views and access to the gardens. The Kitchen has been fitted with bespoke solid wood cabinetry with granite worktops and features a cream AGA and striking porcelain tiled floor with oak inlays; further appliances are also included. The Utility Room to the side has ample storage cupboards, space for appliances and a door to the rear garden. The bedrooms are situated on the other side of the house and have been thoughtfully designed with the superb views and countryside in mind, the stunning principal suite has two sets of double doors leading outside and benefits from a Dressing Room and beautifully appointed ensuite Shower Room. The other bedrooms are complimented by two further bathroom suites and Bedroom 5 is currently used by my client as a Study. The gardens exhibit my clients love of gardening with mature shrub flowerbeds, sweeping lawns leading down to the beautiful chalk stream of the River Meon and an orchard with apple, cherry and pear trees giving Spring colour and a range of Autumn fruits.
Local amenities can be found a short drive away in Wickham Square which retains the charm of the old market town with a butcher’s shop, bakery and hardware store interspersed with chic independent shops. From Wickham walkers and cyclists can pick up the Meon Valley Trail which extends along a disused railway line for 10 miles to West Meon where it connects to the South Downs Way and Wayfarers’ Walk. Road and rail links are also easily accessible from the property.
