Barley House has been the subject of significant enhancement over recent years and provides a well-proportioned, light-filled and versatile home ideally suited to modern family lifestyles.

The principal room benefits from a modern en suite bathroom and an adjoining dressing room.<br /><br />Evergreen hedging fronts the lane with decorative, timber gates opening onto a length of pavers which extends into a turning zone. A gravelled continuation of the driveway is bordered by high-level hedging and leads alongside the frontage of the home to a detached double garage at the rear. A paved terrace adjoins the house with direct access from the kitchen/breakfast room extending the inside to the outside environment and offering a south-facing spot to sit and dine. There are areas laid to lawn and sinuous beds filled with attractive, colourful and architectural planting, with a decorative pathway offering a journey through the garden to a paved setting at the far margin of the plot.<br /><br />The property is situated in sought-after Long Sutton, home to the renowned Lord Wandsworth College, with a quintessential village pond at its heart and offering a primary school, a public house and a village hall which hosts community events. The picturesque town of Odiham is also within easy reach and offers a small supermarket, post office, independent shops, coffee shops and restaurants, along with a health centre and dental practice.
