A perfect country house sitting in a beautiful landscape within the South Downs National Park offers extensive accommodation which has been upgraded to a high specification blending contemporary and period design with the advantages of modern day technology.

The imaginative interior design is enhanced by an abundance of French windows, large floor to ceiling sash windows and clever atriums giving wonderfully light, sunny rooms with subtle inset lighting. The property has under floor heating throughout the main house, double glazing, superior insulation and CAT 6 cabling for improved broadband/satellite reception.

An elegant reception hall with oak flooring leads through to a large drawing room and family room, both with working fires, opening onto the extensive, superbly equipped kitchen/breakfast room, complete with Aga, and with French doors to the rear terrace and garden. The large, well fitted playroom and spacious boot room both enjoy ample, practical storage space while the utility room provides an excellent laundry area.

The attractive ground floor guest/nanny suite has a double bedroom, single room and bath/shower room. This could also be used as an office suite, although there is a further separate office above which enjoys panoramic views.

On the first floor a gracious, vaulted master bedroom leads to a dressing room and bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms, one with en-suite shower room and another smaller double enjoying balcony views, plus a family bathroom with separate shower.

The house is approached by a sweeping gravelled drive and is surrounded by its own gardens and grounds. The gardens are laid mainly to lawns with feature flower beds, a splendid south west facing terrace, productive vegetable garden and paddocks on three sides of the property with direct access to the South Downs Way. There is ample parking and open fronted garaging; with stabling, stable yard and grazing available by separate agreement.

The house is situated on the edge of the rural village of Beauworth, near Alresford which is a good location for commuting and schools.

The Country House Company says this perfect country house is available from mid-July and asks a monthly rent of £5,250 to include gardening. Contact the office on 023 9263 2275 for more details.
