Spring Farm House at Hambledon is the perfect home for an action-packed lifestyle. Not only is this a superbly spacious detached home set in almost five acres but there are activities for all the family to enjoy. The extensive outbuildings include stables, tack store, workshop and plenty of garaging and there are paddocks, a field shelter and a superb 40m x 20m manege. Swimming can be enjoyed in the heated outdoor pool which is set within paved terracing and enclosed by a high wall on one side and separated from the rest of the garden by trellising on the other. There is also a hot tub and a raised decked area to the south.

The house is accessed from a wide driveway which provides parking, access to the integral double garage and leads past the house to further car ports, garaging and the gated stable yard. The accommodation is extensive and laid out over two floors with well proportioned rooms throughout.

Leading off the impressive reception hall are a drawing room, dining room and study, with a large kitchen/breakfast room leading through to a rear lobby with storage, a cloakroom and a door to the garage.

Five double bedrooms and three bathrooms have a versatile arrangement on the first floor with one bedroom currently fitted out as a study and with access to excellent eaves storage. With a high roofline, there is potential for further accommodation to be created in the loft space, subject to the necessary consents.

The gardens are beautifully laid out with wide areas of paved terracing across the rear of the house looking over lawns and established trees and shrubs, and connecting with the terrace around the pool.

Spring Farm House is located within a hamlet close to Hambledon and surrounded by rolling Hampshire countryside.……

Well positioned townhouse

The interesting design, attractive walled gardens on three sides, garage and off road parking are undoubtedly appealing features, but essentially it is the fabulous quiet yet convenient location of this townhouse that is the main focus.

For those who need quick access to Winchester’s thriving city centre, the excellent array of schools in the area and the mainline train station, this lovely townhouse on the corner of Beaufort Road and Edgar Road will hold high appeal. One of just nine houses built in the late 1980s this three storey house at the end of the row has been extended on the ground floor, enhancing the relaxing space and giving more light and access to the garden through French doors.

The kitchen/breakfast room has been re-fitted and now features a gas Aga, with a utility room on the other side of the entrance hall helping to keep things tidy. The reception room has two distinct zones, easily arranged as dining and relaxing spaces with glazed doors to the gardens on two sides.

The master suite lies on the first floor and has a walk through dressing area into the private bathroom; with another double bedroom on this floor together with the family shower room.

The top floor has two further double bedrooms, a fifth bedroom or study and a useful store, which has potential to be converted into an additional shower room.

Good quality double glazed windows have replaced the original units, which assists with energy saving, together with the recent gas fired boiler for the central heating.

The main part of the garden faces east with further areas on the south and north sides, all attractively planted and with the lovely backdrop of a high brick wall for privacy.

Some people might consider there’s not much purpose in a pub with no beer – but they would be wrong.

For the Hurstbourne Inn, a former landmark licensed premises at Hurstbourne Priors in Hampshire, is about to become home to three families upon completion, very soon, of the latest project by Fremington Properties, a Hampshire-based company led by chartered surveyor Charles Bradshaw.

Hurstbourne Priors is a picturesque hamlet, complete with thatched cricket pavilion beside the parish church set beside a tributary of the River Test, one of the world’s most famous chalk fishing streams. It is very well connected, with the A34, A303, and Whitchurch mainline station, with a fast service via Basingstoke to Waterloo, within easy striking distance. Whitchurch is also a market town with a good mix of businesses and an excellent secondary school. Neighbouring Longparish has an excellent, recently upgraded school for younger pupils plus a store, post office, and two pub / restaurants.

The conversion project has seen the former public house become three terraced homes, with a three bedroom home embraced by a two bedroom home to one side and a two bedroom home with study / third bedroom to the other side. The project has been completed while retaining the attractive appearance of the original building and, due to the spacious interior of the structure, there has been no compromise on living space in any of the homes.

Each of the properties also has a garden and two private car parking spaces – there is also visitor parking and the properties have cycle and garden tool storage.

“I sold the Hurstbourne Inn to Fremington Properties and recognised that the company’s vision for what could be achieved would result in three very high calibre new homes,” says Chris Gooch, residential sales partner at Carter Jonas…
