5 bed detached house for sale

Headley Fields, Headley, Bordon, Hampshire GU35

Believed to date from the 1890's, Little Orchard House has been sympathetically extended and improved over the years to combine period features with modern amenities. The spacious and welcoming entrance hall features a snug area and wood-burning stove. The ground floor is designed for both formal entertaining and informal family life, boasting an L-shaped open-plan kitchen/breakfast room with stylish granite worktops, butler sink and Falcon range cooker and a formal dining room with French doors giving access to the garden. There are two further reception rooms; an impressive 29ft dual-aspect drawing room centered around two fireplaces and a triple-aspect family room with direct access to the gardens.

Upstairs, the accommodation is equally impressive. The dual aspect principal suite is a private haven, with built-in wardrobes and a spacious en-suite featuring separate bath and shower. Four additional bedrooms are served by a family bathroom. In addition, there is a dedicated laundry room and a further study/nursery which could potentially be converted to an additional bathroom.

The property is approached via electric gates to a brick paved drive, providing ample parking in addition to the detached double garage. The garden is enclosed by hedging and fencing, providing privacy and seclusion and is laid mainly to lawn, with terraced areas ideal for outside entertaining and complimented by the summer house and decking for evening sun. Leisure facilities include a swimming pool with retractable cover, pool house and tennis court. A vegetable garden and chicken run complete the rural lifestyle.
