5 Bed Detached House, Single Let, Hinton Saint George, TA17 8TQ £1,350,000

The property is accessed via two separate entrances, one with a stone wall and concrete drive winding through mature woodland, and the other from the lower end of the grounds, with a stoned drive. The property’s network of woodland walks among both mature and newly-planted native hardwood trees provides immersion in nature in complete privacy. Additional woodland and orchard surround the house, creating a peaceful and private setting. The well-tended lawns feature a wealth of established shrubs, hedgerows and flowering perennials, as well as an ornamental pond with a fountain. Generous paved terraces, ideal for al fresco dining or outdoor entertaining, complete the garden.

There is plenty of parking on the gravel driveway, which leads to a large garaging block with space for several vehicles and an EV charging point. The driveway also provides access to over 5,500 sq ft of commercial buildings, including warehouse stores and generous first floor offices with woodland views, offering the lifestyle opportunity to run a business from home in idyllic surroundings. Alternatively, the buildings offer excellent potential to be converted, subject to the necessary planning consents. The whole totals 17.04 acres and offers a quiet and tranquil setting throughout, with an abundance of wildlife that makes it ideal for nature enthusiasts.
