The farmhouse dates from the early 17th century and has a classic timber frame with narrow brick infill elevations, the main part encased on the ground floor in rubble flint with brick and stone dressings, leaded light and casement windows beneath a thatched roof which was re-thatched three years ago. The interior is rich in character with a wealth of highly polished timber and panelling, beamed walls and good ceiling heights and it has been carefully refurbished and updated. The property lies in most beautiful countryside in the centre of its own land surrounded by National Trust woodland on three sides and tucked away up a long private drive off a no-through lane. Black House Farm and its buildings lie in a remarkably special position and is the perfect unspoilt farmstead. An application has been submitted by Huw Thomas Architects identical to Application No. 09/00443/FUL, Reference 13326/02 granted by Winchester City Council 28th July 2009 and only subject to agreement with the National Trust. For plans of the proposed conversion please refer to the Winchester City Council website. Outside The property is approached at the end of a long private drive off a no-through lane terminating on the western side of the farmhouse where there is ample car parking. The unconverted outbuildings are presently used as a party barn and storage. Additional buildings include a former chicken shed comprising garaging, store and workshop, Dutch barn and a three bay barn used as a garden machinery store. Agents’ Note There is a footpath which leads down the drive passing the farmhouse and continuing into the countryside to the south. The Gardens Adjacent to the farmhouse there are formal gardens with a large pleasure lawn bordered by clipped hedges and specimen trees and a productive orchard. There is also a large sheltered brick paviour courtyard between the farmhouse and the outbuildings with triangular raised shrub beds and terrace. The paddocks which have two stables on skids and the grounds, including an ancient dew pond, entirely surround the property which in turn is sheltered by broadleaf woodland. J197 .
