A detached family house with exceptional westerly views over open countryside

Positioned on the western side of this appealing lane, a detached family house with exceptional views over surrounding countryside towards Stockbridge.

Some remodelling and extending has been undertaken by the current owners and this has delivered versatility and significant living space benefits. There are wood burners in both the kitchen/family room, which also has underfloor heating, and drawing room. The kitchen/family room interacts so well with the long garden by virtue of tri-folding doors. A large skylight ensures that natural light is in abundance too. There is a utility room/pantry off the kitchen, also with underfloor heating. The drawing room runs the full depth of this part of the house, and there is a study and a useful shower room for those anxious about disturbing the rest of the household if an early starter!

The principal bedroom suite has much to offer with the bedroom, a sitting room leading to a roof terrace, a dressing room and a bathroom. The aspect is across the garden towards the far reaching views due west. Three further double bedrooms, also benefitting from plenty of natural light, are served by a family bathroom.

Outside

The garden stretches out from the back of the house and is predominantly lawned but with various trees, shrubs and beds. There is a large outbuilding, once the double garage, which could be utilised for storage or perhaps be converted into ancillary accommodation or home office, subject to any necessary consents. The back boundary hedge line abuts open countryside and fields and it is in this direction that the sun sets allowing for some breathtaking sunsets on clear evenings.

To the front of the house there is a lawn, cherry tree, hedge providing privacy and hardstanding parking for several cars.

Situation

Orchard House is located in Up Somborne, a hamlet surrounded by beautiful countryside and within a short drive of the desirable town of Stockbridge to the west and the city of Winchester to the east. The nearest shops and amenities are to be found in Stockbridge where several pubs, cafe's, a well known butchers, a delicatessen, a small supermarket, a greengrocers and various boutiques and galleries exist. Larger supermarkets and day-to-day amenities can be found in Winchester which provides excellent travel links to London (58 minutes to London Waterloo by train), and a variety of leisure and entertainment facilities. The choice of local schools is also excellent, with several good or outstanding-rated primary and secondary schools and independent schools such as St Swithuns, Princes Mead, Pilgrims, Winchester College and Farleigh.
