An attractive 343 acre farm within the South Downs has come to the market for the first time in almost 90 years.

Manor Farm, in Langrish, near Petersfield, is thought to date back to the 1400s in parts and it was originally a sheep farm. Since then it has been a mixed farm with a dairy herd, beef cattle and arable land, and it has been in the same ownership for the last 87 years.

Manor Farm comprises a period detached farmhouse, which is not listed, with a one bedroom annexe; Dove Dale House, a secondary four bedroom detached period house; and two additional farm cottages, one of which is let on an assured shorthold tenancy.

There is also a historically important Dovecote, which is Grade II listed and thought to have been built in 1432. A range of modern and traditional farm buildings provide about 350 tonnes of grain storage, machinery storage and a range of livestock housing.  Two of the buildings are currently licensed to commercial occupiers delivering a further rental income.

For equestrian enthusiasts, there are three stables within a traditional courtyard, nearby grazing paddocks and access onto the bridleway network providing off-road hacking across Hampshire and the South Downs.

The land is of mixed topography with areas of woodland and ponds, where an excellent shoot is run in conjunction with the neighbouring farms.

There is a total of 144 acres of arable land, 144 acres of pastureland and 37 acres of woodland, and there is currently a herd of Hereford cattle on the farm.

Manor Farm is available as a whole, with a guide price of £5,800,000, or in lots.

Modern house nestling within historical setting

St Cross is an ancient settlement lying on the outskirts of the city of Winchester and this is the setting for a superb detached modern house.

Charming conversion in village setting

Of all the buildings which are best suited to residential conversion, Victorian schools work really well, usually situated within established communities and with classical architecture with high gables and tall windows which allow for plenty of light.

The origins are clearly evident at The Old School House in Houghton, a little village near Stockbridge, in the heart of the Test Valley. The attractive brick and flint elevations are typical of a Hampshire Victorian school building. Once inside, however, there is little to suggest the former use and the space has been arranged as a very comfortable family house.

A welcoming reception hall is protected from the elements by an enclosed porch and doors lead off to ground floor rooms, with stairs rising from here to the bedrooms. The principal space is the superb sitting room; a lovely room with large windows, a glazed door to the garden and a Jetmaster open fireplace. The galley style kitchen is fitted with plenty of storage on both sides and although this leads through to a breakfast room, there is also a formal dining room at the front. The kitchen also has a door to a boiler room.

Three good size bedrooms are arranged off the landing, one with an adjoining bathroom, together with the family bathroom.

Leading off the village lane is a gravel driveway where there is parking for at least two cars and a small kitchen garden to one side. Gated access leads through to a truly lovely cottage garden, beautifully kept with an array of established specimen trees and shrubs and wonderful through the year. There is also an Amdega summer house.
