Dunsell’s Stone sits on the pastoral fringes

Ropley is a quiet English backwater, with a village church, pub and primary school, nestling close to the market town of Alresford, with its eclectic selection of pubs, restaurants, butcher, fishmongers and delicatessen. The rural idyll of bridleways, country lanes and hedge-lined footpaths, within the serene Hampshire countryside is waiting to be explored and this is the scenic setting for Bargate Homes’ latest development, Dunsell’s Stone.

The colourful, agricultural history of the area underscores its allure. In a quest to prove which local farmer owned the best team of wagon horses, a competition was devised to see which horses could drag a stone the furthest. The challenge of Dunsell’s Stone was born. The original stone resides on Dunsell’s Lane.

Fifteen individual homes have been designed and constructed here at Dunsell’s Stone. The houses are suitable for a range of purchasers from the three bedroom detached houses priced from £424,950 and the four bedroom detached versions from £534,950, to the larger family homes each with a study and double garage at £749,950.

In common with most modern house designs, these homes have fabulous kitchens with space for dining and entertaining in addition to a comfortable sitting room. The master bedrooms have their own shower rooms with smart fittings in addition to the family bathroom and guest cloakroom.

Externally the houses are all framed by landscaped gardens and each has at least one garage with additional parking. There are good road networks together with railway links at Alton, Petersfield and Winchester.

The best way to appreciate the range of homes and the setting is to make an appointment with Charters to take a look. The houses have been well received by the public with three reserved already. Contact Charters on 01962 734633.
