About this property

  • Ramblers is a characterful detached country house tucked away on a quiet no through road, which becomes a pathway that leads directly to Alice Holt Forest.

    This attractive home has well-presented and thought out interiors providing a comfortable family living environment.

    A pretty open porch leads in to a welcoming reception hall leading to a sitting room with a traditional brick fireplace and double French doors that give views onto the garden. There is also a practical study.

    A brilliant feature of the ground floor accommodation is the excellent open plan kitchen/dining/family room, which is a very social space with a large central breakfast bar island helping to define the key areas which includes space for dining and informal seating and there is access to the terrace and garden.

    The kitchen features an AGA, built in appliances and is complimented by a neighbouring utility room which has access to the garden terrace.

    A secondary porch and access into the property arrives in a boot room area where there is a guest WC.

    The first floor includes a large principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, which has fitted wardrobes and a Juliet balcony windows. Additionally there are four double bedrooms, and a large family bathroom. One of the bedrooms has two doorways and a wall could easily be reinstated to provide a fifth bedroom.

    The property also benefits from a large barn, currently configured as a games and entertainment space. The ground floor is generous and versatile, with a WC, bar area and a mezzanine first floor that is ideal for a home office. Alternatively the barn could provide for secondary accommodation.

    The property is approached through a five-bar gate over a driveway that leads to a paved circular drive providing ample parking for numerous vehicles.

    The garden surrounds the property predominantly on the south and west side with a terrace ideal for al fresco dining overlooking an expanse of lawn attractive mature trees and mixed hedgerow.

    Within the garden there is an outdoor studio/office, shed, and tractor shed. The plot measures about 1.42 acres.
