HOME FARM HOUSE NEWBURY HILL, PENTON MEWSEY, ANDOVER, SP11 0RW

Home Farm House is a beautiful Grade II Listed (circa 1718) family house presented in good decorative order throughout situated in this tranquil and popular Hampshire village. The house which has been sympathetically extended in both the 19th and 20th centuries boasts excellent family bedrooms on the first floor, generous living rooms on the ground floor, and delightful walled gardens of 0.86 of an acre.

Penton Mewsey is a picturesque village adjoining and the area is affectionately known as ‘The Pentons’. The village is mentioned in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was named ‘Penitone’ with Mewsey being first mentioned some 80 years later. The area was largely devoted to sheep farming with fleeces and wool being sold in the nearby market town of Andover. Many of the properties in the Pentons are Grade II listed including The Holy Trinity Church which dates back to 1365 and is still in regular use. Elsewhere in the village there is a village hall, nursery, recreation ground, playground, cricket and tennis clubs, a popular public house, and 3 livery yards. A short drive to Weyhill will take you to a petrol station with a well stocked local shop having most essentials, and the market town of Andover with its excellent shopping and railway station is only 2.5 miles away. For those needing to travel further afield the A303, A34 and M3 are all within easy reach as are the Cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury.

Local independent schools include, Farleigh, Rookwood, Cheam Preparatory, Thorngrove, Godolphin, Marlborough, Winchester, Twyford, and St Swithuns.

HOME FARM HOUSE NEWBURY HILL, PENTON MEWSEY, ANDOVER, SP11 0RW ______

DESCRIPTION Home Farm House is constructed of typical Hampshire brick and flint with delightful internal beams and surprisingly good ceiling heights on both floors. The attic consists of three intercommunicating rooms ideal for storage or hobby rooms.

The delightful kitchen/breakfast room has a large dual fuel AGA, attractive base units with Corian work surfaces, with a utility room and walk in larder just off it. In the utility room a trap door opens to a useful cellar. The drawing room has attractive wall and ceiling beams as well as an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. Next to the kitchen is a well proportioned dining room with attractive fireplace and a useful crockery cupboard.

The existing layout provides for a Master suite of bedroom, bathroom and dressing area, and 4 further bedrooms with a family bathroom. The two staircases to the first floor give potential for further self contained accommodation; the snug/family room at the western end has been used as a nanny annex in the past (with staircase, bathroom and bedroom). The double office with laundry room at the eastern end could also be converted into an annex if required.

Outside the driveway leads to a large hard standing area with plenty of parking and turning space. There are 3 car ports, 3 stables, a large workshop, hay barn and a storage room. The charming walled and very private gardens are divided into three separate areas at the rear. The first section between the house and the stables offers a very private lawn area with a Loggia ideal for ‘al fresco’ dining. The middle section has pretty Pergola dividing the two lawn sections with a fruit cage and vegetable patches to the sides. The rear and largest section is still within the confines of the attractive walls and is mainly laid to lawn with many mature trees and shrubs. Subject to the usual consents this area could easily accommodate a tennis court or swimming pool if desired. To the east of the house there is a small orchard with plum, apple, and pear trees and an old well with hand pump.
