The Priory is a detached property rich in history dating back to around 1550 with additions and changes through the centuries including recent renovation work to create a superb family home with distinctive character and set in grounds of 1.8 acres in a pleasant rural location. World’s End lies between the villages of Hambledon and Denmead where there are active communities and good local amenities. Winchester and Petersfield may both be reached within about half an hour’s drive.

Visitors approach over a long driveway through the gardens and mature trees interspersing the lawned areas. The driveway concludes in a parking area close to the front door and detached double garage with its attached workshop and log store.

The rooms are surprisingly spacious and practically arranged for a country lifestyle with a large lobby doubling as a boot room before opening through to the entrance hall. A rear hall offers the same amenity. The ground floor is versatile with four reception areas interchangeable as dining, sitting and study areas with doors opening to the south easterly aspect from rooms currently designated as the sitting room and garden room. The room used as the dining room is a more recent addition with a fine vaulted and timbered ceiling, vast areas of tall glazing and open plan to the kitchen and a cosy space in front of the brick fireplace fitted with a wood burning stove.

An Aga is fitted in the kitchen, complementing the country style cabinets and stone floor tiles. The garden room could be used as an additional bedroom if required as there is a lovely ground floor bathroom complete with bath and separate shower and the luxury of underfloor heating.

Stairs from the rear hall rise to the first floor landing which has doors to a superb master bedroom suite with built-in storage, a walk through dressing room and a bathroom with roll top bath. The other two bedrooms on this floor are good sizes with the unusual feature in the second bedroom of a minstrel’s gallery overlooking the kitchen which may be closed off by a door.

Areas of woodland around the garden create seclusion in this lovely setting and at the northern end is a fenced tennis court.
