The Old Farm is exactly as its name suggests, a Grade II listed 17th century former farmhouse and is set on a quiet, no-through country lane and surrounded by private established gardens.
Timber framed and part tile hung, the house is exquisite with beautiful reception rooms where much of the original architectural detailing is clearly in evidence including magnificent beams, superb fireplaces, panelling, original internal doors and brick and oak boarded floors.
The accommodation is extensive, about 5,000 square feet, principally over two floors but also with a cellar and additional attic bedrooms. A superb staircase from the entrance hall, with a galleried landing above, links the two main floors. Impressive reception rooms are classically proportioned with wonderful exposed timbers and there are six bedrooms, three bathrooms and excellent storage.
Clipped hedging screens the entrance to The Old Farm and the lovely gardens of nearly an acre are arranged in rooms separated by hedges and mature trees. The driveway sweeps round the house to an open fronted barn style double garage and further outbuildings.
The Old Farm at Beech is quietly positioned yet not remote, only two miles from Alton and its mainline station. The house is accessed via a lane with no through traffic and the village sits on the northern borders of the South Downs National Park.
A guide price of £1,250,000 is quoted. Contact the team at Jackson-Stops & Staff in Winchester for further details. Call 01962 844299.
