5 bed detached house for sale

The Street, Upper Farringdon GU34

A welcoming and characterful family home with a primarily south facing rear garden. The house occupies a delightful position in the sought-after Hampshire village of Upper Farringdon and is a beautifully presented period home that combines period character together with the comforts and practicality for modern family living. Unusually, however, the property is not listed, providing owners with greater flexibility while retaining all the appeal of a traditional village home.

Over recent years, the house has been sensitively and thoughtfully improved, creating a home that is both welcoming and highly functional. At its heart lies a superb kitchen opening into a generous dining/sitting room. This is wonderful room with ample space for informal dining, relaxation and entertaining. The kitchen is centred around an island and a range cooker together with eye and base level cabinets, pan drawers, sink and work surfaces. The generous living accommodation includes two generous reception rooms. A twin aspect sitting room with a fireplace and a wood burning stove and also a triple aspect family room with double doors opening out to the garden.

Further practical spaces include a utility room, separate laundry room, ground floor cloakroom and cellar storage.

There are five bedrooms and a family bathroom to the first floor. The principal suite is particularly impressive, enjoying its own en suite bathroom together with two dedicated dressing room areas. A shower room benefits from underfloor heating, while the fifth bedroom is currently arranged as a home office, presenting flexibility for changing family requirements.

A substantial loft space has already been fitted with power, plumbing connections and Velux windows, offering scope for future enhancement, subject to any necessary consents.

Outside

The property enjoys a mature garden extending to approximately 0.25 of an acre with areas of lawn, borders and estblished hedging. French doors open directly onto the terrace from the family room, creating an excellent connection between the house and garden and providing an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

A five bar gate provides access to the driveway with ample space for parking and access to the garage.
