Situated just outside the old market town of Wickham, bordering the South Downs National Park and less than a mile from beautiful rural walks such as Hundred Acre Wood and Wickham Railway, an attractive 1930’s family residence, tucked away off the road with extensive parking, garaging and mature grounds extending to nearly 2 acres, comprising formal gardens and Woodland.
This handsome residence currently extends to 2159 square feet and offers huge potential to extend and upgrade (STPP). The property sits perfectly within its plot, allowing plenty of space either side to extend if needed. This much-loved home has been occupied by my clients since the late 1960’s and benefits from many of the character features being intact such as fireplaces, high ceilings, picture rails and leaded windows. The leaded windows are large, with many of the rooms being dual aspect allowing the light to flood into this glorious home. There are three elegant Reception Rooms off a generous Entrance Hall. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room benefits from a larder and two deep recesses, providing superb storage areas, off the Kitchen is a substantial Boot Room which in turn leads to outside. Upstairs are four Bedrooms, three of which are of double proportions and two Bathrooms. Outside, the property is approached by a five-bar gate leading to an area of parking. A further five-bar gate then leads to the Garaging and the property itself. The gardens are a particular feature of this property mainly laid to lawn with some magnificent trees, hedgerows and shrubs, and extensive areas of lawn. To the far boundary of the formal gardens is a mature beach hedgerow and beyond that is a gate leading to the Woodland. The gardens are glorious, extensive and private. There is rear access to the Woodland area from a track, owned by the church, which exits further up Southwick Lane, of which this property has the right of access over.
Wickham is a beautiful old market town with excellent local amenities and remains a popular location with both families and professionals alike as it has good road and rails links nearby and is also surrounded by beautiful countryside with Hundred Acres Wood and Meon Valley Trail both within easy reach.
