A wonderful character country home, in an unspoilt edge of village setting, with superb views, extensive garden and grounds to enjoy yet an easy drive to Petersfield.

THE PROPERTY Church Farm is a charming thatched farmhouse, with wonderful character, in an unspoilt edge of village setting. The house was entirely rethatched in 2019. Inside, the house fuses heritage and character of period origins with a contemporary feel via later extensions. The large open plan kitchen/living room has a lantern rooflight at the heart of the house, and glass doors opening to a wonderful terrace overlooking farmland beyond - also accessed from the generously proportioned sitting room which shares the same fabulous views. Practical life in the country is covered by a good utility/boot room and a sitting room/snug for cosy fireside evenings. The house has a lovely light feel inside and the rooms are planned to take advantage of the extensive country views to the south and west. Upstairs the main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling, balcony, an adjoining dressing room and en suite bathroom - with a lovely aspect overlooking the garden. There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom that flow well off a central landing/passage. The annexe provides plenty of space for visitors or family as an overflow fifth bedroom or self-contained suite, which is currently let as an Airbnb.

OUTSIDE The house is approached over a gravelled drive with parking area, which sweeps up to the attractive oak framed entrance porch. The barn style garage has brick and flint elevations with two open bays and a third lock up. The delightful flat above has an internal staircase and is totally self-contained.

The property enjoys a south and west facing garden and grounds, which are well stocked and landscaped. There is a lovely terrace to the rear of the house, and well established hornbeam hedges providing privacy and structure within the garden and boundaries. An area of lawn gently slopes away from the house with an open garden for children to roam, and an orchard/fruit cage to enjoy. More recently a field has been planted with native trees and mown paths provide a natural wildlife haven, and control of the foreground view from the house. Bird and wildlife is a real feature of being in a rural but edge of village setting. In all, the gardens, field and grounds extend to 3.55 Acres (1.43 Ha).

LOCATION The property is located in the attractive village of Langrish, in the heart of the South Downs National Park, situated between Petersfield and Winchester. Langrish offers a highly regarded primary school, with more comprehensive facilities located in Petersfield (2.8 miles) - which offers a varied range of leisure facilities, shops, supermarkets and a twice weekly market in the Square. The larger centres of Winchester and Guildford are also within reasonable driving distance, as are the harbours and creeks of the South Coast. The surrounding countryside is criss-crossed by footpaths and bridleways providing excellent scope for walking, riding and a variety of country pursuits which include The South Downs Way, located at East Meon (2.7 miles). There are an excellent range of educational facilities in the area including Bedales, Churcher's College and Ditcham Park in the private sector and TPS and Bohunt in the state sector. The A272 gives good access west to Winchester and the A3 south to the coast and Portsmouth.
