Goadsby has an excellent choice of two detached family houses in South Wonston, both with four bedrooms and well positioned within this popular village about five miles to the north of Winchester. This welcoming community has good local amenities including a primary school, village store for essentials, a parish church, social club and village hall. There is a popular recreation ground, tennis courts and plenty of open space in addition to being surrounded by lovely countryside.

The first of the houses, in Downlands Way, occupies a corner plot which allows the garden a good degree of privacy and sunshine. The house is simply laid out with two reception rooms interconnecting by way of double doors and with French doors to the garden from the sitting room; and a well fitted kitchen/breakfast room.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, one with its own shower room, and the family bathroom.

With access from the rear garden, a double garage has additional parking on the driveway. A price of £425,000 is quoted.

The second house has been extended and provides versatile living space with three good bedrooms on the first floor with the fourth bedroom downstairs. The master bedroom has a dressing room leading through to the private bathroom and there is a bath and separate shower in the family bathroom.

The kitchen with its dining area is an addition at the side of the house and connects to the main sitting room by double doors. There is also a garden room, study and the fourth bedroom, with a guest cloakroom on this floor, and a utility room leads through to a useful storage space and the garage.

This house at Long Barrow Close carries a price of £500,000

Chris Pickard at Goadsby says: “South Wonston is a village close to my heart having grown up there and we have recently sold many properties in the village. We’re delighted to have been instructed to sell 1 Long Barrow Close again after we sold it to the current owners when they moved here. Both these family homes offer excellent accommodation, with great living space and flexible bedrooms.

Both properties are only a short walk away from open countryside and the fantastic recreation ground is nearby too. The village primary school is another huge asset to the village and we are very proud to be sponsoring the upcoming PTA May Fayre for the second year in a row.”

Two lovely properties, recently on the market with Jackson-Stops & Staff, offer occupiers a wonderful country experience. This aspirational lifestyle provides a calming influence to the otherwise hectic pace of modern life where simple pleasures such as an awareness of the changing seasons, birdsong and a feeling of space with country walks and a drink in a local pub at the end are all tantalising features.

The hamlet of Northington is the glorious setting for Magpies which is an extremely pretty period cottage with views over adjoining fields, the Candover Valley and the parish church. Set at the end of a private drive on rising ground, the cottage is thought to be just over 200 years old and was formerly part of the Grange Park Estate.

The brick and flint elevations are covered in roses, honeysuckle and climbing hydrangea with exposed timbers, flagstone floors and a fine inglenook fireplace in the original part of the house, with an extension providing a superb drawing room, kitchen and a principal bedroom suite above. There is also a study and sitting room, with three further bedrooms upstairs, two with lovely elm panelling and views to the church. The family shower room has a polished boarded floor and a Victorian fireplace.

Magpies has a double garage, lovely garden and paddock extending to just under an acre. A price guide of £925,000 is given

The Old Farm is exactly as its name suggests, a Grade II listed 17th century former farmhouse; set on a quiet, no-through country lane and surrounded by private established gardens.

Timber framed and part tile hung, the house is exquisite with beautiful reception rooms where much of the original architectural detailing remains including magnificent beams, superb fireplaces, panelling, original internal doors and brick and oak boarded floors.

The accommodation is extensive, about 5,000 square feet, principally over two floors but with a cellar and additional attic bedrooms. Impressive reception rooms are classically proportioned with wonderful exposed timbers and there are six bedrooms, three bathrooms and excellent storage.

Clipped hedging screens the entrance to The Old Farm and the lovely gardens of nearly an acre are arranged in rooms separated by hedges and mature trees. The driveway sweeps round the house to an open fronted barn style double garage and further outbuildings.

The Old Farm at Beech is quietly positioned yet not remote, only two miles from Alton and the mainline station. A guide price of £1,250,000 is quoted. Contact the team at Jackson-Stops & Staff in Winchester for further details. Call 01962 844299.…
