Amid peaceful rolling countryside

Dating from the 16th century this wonderful barn conversion enjoys a peaceful rural location within a former farmstead a couple of miles to the south of Hambledon and about ten miles from Petersfield where there is a mainline station.

The barn sits within its own well kept gardens with a south facing courtyard, a sunken seating area, together with lawns, shrubs and herbaceous borders which will be maintained by the landlord’s gardener, leaving the tenant just to take care of lawn mowing and trimming the edges when necessary.

The striking galleried entrance hall provides a wonderful reception area with high ceilings and hand crafted, double glazed windows on either side, flooding the room with light. Skilfully converted to give a cosy family space, with a central fireplace, the Yorkshire flagstone floor has under floor heating and the French windows open to the sunny courtyard garden.

An Aga takes centre stage in the kitchen where there is plenty of space for dining and relaxing and a wall of glazing provides a wide view of the newly landscaped terrace and east facing gardens. Immediately above the kitchen, accessed from the main reception hall, is a fabulous reception room with far reaching views.

Three bedrooms, a new shower room and a utility room take up the rest of the ground floor with wonderful exposed beams throughout.

A separate staircase leads to a galleried landing with a study area overlooking the reception hall. A generous master bedroom leads off here with more wonderful views. The adjacent bathroom has separate shower and roll top bath.

Within the grounds is covered parking for two cars

Nearby there is a footpath and further along the lane, a bridle way, which is a short cut through to the centre of Hambledon village.

Exceptional example of Arts and Crafts design

Fronting a tree lined avenue on the western edge of the city, this exceptional Arts and Crafts house lies within walking distance of local amenities, Winchester’s mainline station and the city centre. Yet, sitting within more than half an acre of mature gardens, this feels more like a village property.

Pipers Field is a particularly fine and rare example of Arts and Crafts architecture, designed by Robert Weir Schultz, a friend of Edwin Lutyens. Built in 1908 with accommodation extending to five thousand square feet over two floors, this is an impressive home with mellow brick elevations and a superb layout where light and beautifully proportioned formal rooms are ideal for entertaining and family life.

An extensive programme of renovation has retained superb architectural features and internally the character is defined by herringbone parquet flooring, fireplaces, dado and picture rails, decorative cornicing, window seats and display alcoves.

From the impressive reception hall doors open to reveal a fine drawing room, formal dining room and excellent study. To one side lies the kitchen/breakfast room which has been fitted in keeping with the design of the house and has a large Aga, bespoke cabinets with granite work surfaces and double doors open into a lovely family room with French doors out to the west facing terrace.

There is also a large games room, utility room and two cloakrooms.

Six bedrooms are arranged over the first floor with three lovely bathrooms and a box room. Ladder access leads up to a hobbies room with a good deal of the rest of the attic being boarded and providing excellent storage.

The house is approached from Chilbolton Avenue by a long, tree lined driveway which arrives at the house through curved flint walls and brick piers. A circular……

This is a home which satisfies those looking for a period property yet also fulfils modern expectations with regard to layout and the lifestyle this suggests with lovely open plan entertaining space. Originally two cottages, and dating from 1860, this charming detached home is beautifully presented and has a delightful character dictated by latched wooden internal doors, fireplaces, oak flooring, painted beams and an exposed brick and flint wall in the extended kitchen.

In fact, this room is the heart of the home being well fitted and open plan to a lovely living space for dining and relaxing and with French doors to a private courtyard garden. The kitchen has a butler sink, Aga, stone floor and the vaulted ceiling adds to the feeling of space. A pantry off the inner hallway provides useful storage and has a brick floor.

The entrance hall is a versatile area and with its wood burning stove set in a fireplace and oak floor could be used as a reading room or study, although there is another small room off the open plan kitchen currently used as a study.
