Property description
The generous and interesting accommodation extends from a welcoming hall and includes a sitting room with a lovely Inglenook fireplace, dining room and spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The extension to the rear complemented the house very well and created a rear hall with access to a study/ home office and utility room together with a staircase to the first floor with a bathroom and four bedrooms.
The main house is complemented by White Hart Cottage. This is a home of considerable character and charm with beautiful elevations of local stone together with a slate roof. The accommodation includes a sitting room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and bathroom to the ground floor and a spacious landing and two bedrooms to the first floor. Of note, the cottage has been successfully let by the existing owners for a number of years and has also provided useful ancillary accommodation for extended family and guests. The gardens have evolved over many years and are a very special feature of the house and cottage.
The overall grounds complement the mature and established village setting and take full advantage of the changing seasons and exceptional views.
Outside
The house and cottage stand within attractive landscaped grounds providing a beautiful setting with areas of lawn, flower and shrub borders, fruit trees, vegetable garden and a pond. The broader areas of garden have a variety of areas of interest and extend into a former vineyard adjoining Well Head Stream. There are several attractive outside seating areas together with an exceptionally well-positioned summerhouse with glorious views over the garden to the open countryside beyond. The house and cottage are approached via a single shingle driveway providing access to the double garage together with space for parking.
Situation
The house and cottage stand within the conservation area with views of the Selborne Hangers and open countryside. Selborne has a strong community with a public house - ‘The Selborne Arms’, St Mary’s Church, village hall and Selborne C of E Primary School. The village is set amidst fine Hampshire countryside between the villages of Hawkley and Farringdon within the South Downs National Park. Renowned for its association with Gilbert White, the 18th Century naturalist, the village is home to Gilbert White’s House and Museum and is surrounded by scenery of outstanding natural beauty lying at the foot of a beech covered hanger. White’s Cafe forms part of the Museum and is a popular village meeting place. The larger centres of Liss and Alton collectively provide a range of facilities as well as mainline railway stations to London Waterloo. In addition, the A3 can be accessed at Liss providing a route to London and the south coast.
