The house takes full advantage of the mature and principally southerly aspect to the rear with glorious gardens and grounds including a wild flower meadow. There are fine views from many of the well-proportioned rooms and the large windows provide a light and airy atmosphere throughout. The generous and welcoming living accommodation includes a sitting room with a fireplace and a glazed door opening out to the garden and a twin aspect dining room adjoining the kitchen, providing an ideal layout for everyday family living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets together with a dual plate oil fired Aga. There is also a utility room (with a larder) and a cloakroom to the ground floor.
The space and flexibility of the house is enhanced with a second sitting room/study together with a conservatory with doors opening out to the garden. There are four bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor including a principal bedroom with an en suite bath/dressing room.
Outside
The gardens and grounds are a very special feature of the house with broad expanses of lawn together with herbaceous borders and a variety of young and mature trees, vegetable/fruit garden, orchard and a very well positioned summerhouse. Paved terraces adjoin the sitting room and dining room and provide ideal outside entertaining areas. The grounds extend away from the house and importantly provide a perfect ‘getaway space for all ages. A gate provides direct access into a beautiful wild flower meadow of about 0.83 of an acre. At the front, the house is approached via a tarmac driveway providing ample parking and access to the garage. There is also a very useful workshop set beside the garage.
Situation
The house forms part of the very well regarded private estate of Powntley Copse, which stands amidst open countryside between the Georgian village of Odiham and the historic market town of Alton and is within the parish of Upton Grey. Powntley Copse is a wooded rural residential area of just twenty-six properties set off a series of tree lined lanes of mainly larger detached individual properties standing within their own grounds. There is a permissive footpath from Powntley Copse leading to Weston Common and from there an extensive network of public footpaths through the surrounding countryside. The nearby village of South Warnborough has an active community with ‘The Poacher’ public house, shop/cafe, church, village hall, playground and multi-use games area for tennis and football. There are restaurants and shops in nearby Odiham and a broad range of facilities in the market and regional towns of Alton, Basingstoke and Farnham. Winchfield station provides trains to London Waterloo, the fastest being 49 minutes, and access to the M3 at Hook offers a route to London and the south coast. There are also railway stations in Alton and Hook.
