Description:

An unlisted period farmhouse in the village Conservation Area with an extensive farmyard and period buildings suitable for conversion and development (subject to planning).

THE PROPERTY Randells Farm House is a rarely available combination of farmhouse and intact farmyard bounded by an extensive range of period buildings currently used for storage / workshop, livestock, garaging and stabling including a substantial brick and flint barn. There is scope for conversion / development to fit a variety of uses, subject to planning.



A pretty porch over the front door makes an attractive entrance into the hall, off which is the fabulous sitting room with exposed beams, woodburning stove and French doors leading out to the veranda and garden beyond. A further family/dining room is off the kitchen and also overlooks the garden. The kitchen/breakfast room has an Aga, good fitted cupboards as well as a fabulous walk-in pantry. A room converted from an outbuilding off the kitchen is currently used as an office and provides more versatile downstairs space with a separate front door. Wide stairs lead down to the cellar from the kitchen. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, three with views over the garden, and a family shower room.

OUTSIDE A five-bar gate leads into the fabulous farmyard with the house, barns, stables and outbuildings enclosing the large parking area and immediate feeling of privacy. The main gardens lie to the south of the house and are laid mainly to lawn, and the fields surround the rear of the barn, stables and outbuildings. A fenced area with disused swimming pool, stunning loggia and pool room is conveniently placed between the house and barn.

LOCATION For good village facilities and primary schools both Hambledon, Catherington and Clanfield are just a short drive away. For a more comprehensive range of shopping, sport and leisure facilities, Petersfield is 9 miles away and has a mainline station with train services to London Waterloo in just over the hour. There are a selection of good schools in the area, in both the state and private sectors, including Kingscourt School (a private nursery and prep school) which is a few minutes' walk away and Catherington Primary School, just a little further. The larger centres of Winchester, Portsmouth and Chichester are all within reasonable driving distance. The A3 is under a ten-minute drive from the house and gives easy access to the Solent and the South Coast and to the M25 and beyond. The house and farmyard sit within a conservation area and there is great scope for both riding, cycling and walking in the area with Monarchs Way running near the house and The South Downs Way being a few miles to the north near the pretty village of East Meon.
