A beautifully presented, light filled barn conversion in a peaceful position on the edge of Whiteparish.
A light, bright and spacious conversion of a Victorian barn built 1906 and converted in the early 2000's into a in a wonderful rural setting between Romsey and Salisbury with about 6 acres of garden and paddock.
The property was converted about 20 years ago to a high specification which includes under floor heating on the ground floor, oak flooring in the reception rooms and benefits from delightful views across the surrounding countryside with the added benefit of numerous footpaths and bridleways providing access to nearby Pepperbox Hill and Mean Wood. There is a lapsed planning permission for the erecting of three stables, Haystore, tack room and change of use of land to equestrian use. The current owners added a south facing conservatory in 2010 with a delightful outlook over the gardens and paddocks.
New Manor Barn retains part of its original style with exposed beams in manor of the rooms. It has, has been well maintained throughout and benefits from many double and some triple aspect rooms which fills the property with light. A particular highlight is the 41' Kitchen/ dining room well suited to family living and entertaining. The property also lends itself to multi-generational living with two staircases at either end of the property which could be set up to allow separate first floor living.

The grounds which extend to 5.88 acres surround the property on three sides are truly special, offering fabulous views across open countryside.

The paddocks lie beyond the gardens and are interspersed with some magnificent specimen trees including Copper Beech, Oak, Birch and a Wellingtonia also a small Orchard with numerous fruit trees including Apple, Pear and Plum and where the lapsed planning application to build the stables is. The boundary is lined by fencing or established hedge and there is a second driveway/access to the rear.
