SITUATION

Lying in unspoilt countryside with occasional Vineyards and Stud Farms just north of the village of Thakeham, the property enjoys complete seclusion and peace adjoining farmland with no train or motorway noise. There are no rights of way on the land. DESCRIPTION

The property was built in 2012-2015 after the current owner gained a rare consent to build a house of architectural merit. A local stone quarry was opened to supply the Bargate Stone for the construction which also incorporates contrasting dressed stone around the window openings and a steep slate roof. The Kitchen has a stone floor and handsome fireplace with French Doors to the Terrace. It is well fitted with bespoke units and a large centre island with black granite worktops, electric range cooker with induction hob, ‘Sub Zero’ fridge freezer, wine chiller, coffee machine, boiling water tap, microwave and dishwasher. The Entrance Hall with Cloakroom leads to the various reception Rooms, all enjoying lovely views with broad fenestrations and polished wooden floors, many with circular backlit ceilings. The Dining Room has a Barrel-vaulted ceiling with programmable mood lighting with French Doors to the expansive Terrace. The split-level Drawing Room also has a vaulted ceiling and inglenook fireplace, with a sequence of arched French Doors to the Terracing. Upstairs the Master Suite with Dressing Room and large bath and shower room enjoys magnificent views. The further four bedrooms are all ensuite with beautifully fitted bathroom/shower rooms, with marble floors and generous windows.

THE GARDENS

Impressive electric gates from stone piers open to a long pine tree lined gravelled drive through flood lit parkland. A real aspect is the generous Mediterranean style flagged terracing with BBQ, spit and granite table, floodlit again with speaker system and connecting to a beautiful Parterre Garden.

The swimming pool, with decking surround, is accessed directly from the terrace with the Tennis Court nearby, off the drive.

A balustraded stone Staircase leads down to the vaulted roofed Summerhouse/Boat- house, a splendid al fresco feature equipped with kitchen, sitting area, cloakroom, BBQ and decking overlooking the trout lake with a boat. Beyond this is a putting green, newly planted fruit trees and mature woodland, in all about 16 acres. Triple garage incorporating a gym, with utility room and cloakroom, and upstairs two rooms, kitchen and bathroom

Hard Tennis Court Helipad

NB Lapsed planning for 5,000 sq. ft. of stabling and barn

Immediately adjoining is an additional 72 acres with consent for an eco-house. The two properties combined could make an 89 acre equestrian estate or the Manor House could, subject to planning, become a Vineyard Tasting and Corporate Entertainment Centre, with the land planted with vines
