WALTHAM CHASE | PG £850,000 INTRODUCTION

A superb period cottage with further potential to extend, situated within a semi rural location amongst 10 acres of private grounds with numerous outbuildings, ideal for the equestrian enthusiast or if working from home.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire Oaklands Farm, which was originally constructed in the 1800’s and has been sympathetically extended by the current owners. Planning permission had been granted to extend the property further, should additional accommodation be needed, however this has recently expired and would require renewal. The cottage benefits from three reception rooms with a substantial conservatory situated adjacent to the sitting room. This room is superb with a glass atrium, doors to the garden and underfloor heating beneath beautiful Victorian style tiles. The same tiles can be found in the kitchen, utility room and cloak room. Both the kitchen and utility room have extensively fitted oak cupboards. Appliances include a gas fired Aga, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, all with unit frontage. In the utility room are two washing machines, dryer and an additional refrigerator and freezer, all with unit frontage. Upstairs are four bedrooms, all of double proportions and a family bathroom.

The outside space is a particular feature of this property, approached via a sweeping tarmacadam driveway which leads to the barn/workshop with adjacent carport and separate timber framed outbuilding, this is currently utilised as a studio/office, double car port and drying room/store room. The building, however was constructed with a view to offering a variety of uses and could easily be converted into a separate substantial annexe (The services are all separate from the main house) or stabling with tack room etc. The studio has been beautifully finished with oak flooring with underfloor heating, vaulted ceiling and a contemporary fitted ensuite shower room. There is also ample parking and turning space adjacent to the outbuildings. The property itself is set back from the lane, set amongst 3/4 of an acre, offering complete privacy, being laid to lawn with trees and enclosed hedgerows. The remainder of the land is divided into two large paddocks, two small paddocks and woodland. There are also three substantial barns with power light and water, an enclosed vegetable garden with raised beds, poly tunnel, timber shed and greenhouse.

The property is situated in a quiet semi rural location yet within easy reach of Bishops Waltham with its varied and extensive amenities and facilities such as banking services, restaurants, independent shops, butcher’s, greengrocer’s, fishmonger’s, post office and supermarket. There is also a local shop within walking distance in Waltham Chase and Swanmore. For the commuter the M27 and M3 are nearby with train services to Waterloo from Botley, and Airport Parkway.
