Property description
PROPERTY SUMMARY Set on the outskirts of this picturesque Hampshire village, 'Woodlands' is the perfect equestrian home occupying approximately 3.5 acres on the edge of Broadhalfpenny Down, famously known as the 'Cradle of Cricket'. The Bat & Ball, an excellent hostelry only a few hundred yards along the lane, is said to have historic connections with the game of cricket when the village club was founded in circa 1750. Nestling in an area of outstanding natural beauty, there are far reaching elevated views towards Hambledon Vineyard and the South Downs National Park, yet conveniently located within three miles of Hambledon village and two miles from Clanfield village shops. The fine market town of Petersfield with main line railway connections to London Waterloo is approximately 8 miles away. Approached via an electric five bar gate, the long driveway leads to parking for a number of vehicles and a 1983 built detached dwelling of over 3,000 sq ft with planning consent for a five bedroom, two bathroom, first floor extension if required. There is also a two storey detached garage complex featuring a 39' x 13'6" home office with B1 business use. The extensive grounds include a stable block with holding paddock, additional post and rail paddocks, floodlit Ménage, kitchen garden, formal gardens and an enclosed swimming pool area with pool room, shower and changing facilities and plant room.
ENTRANCE The post and rail front boundary has two entrance points, one leading to the floodlit Ménage and the other via a recessed driveway with a five bar electric gate. The long driveway with formal gardens either side, leads to parking for numerous vehicles to the front of the property and garage complex.
