Hambledon, Hampshire

THE PROPERTY
Park House has a striking classical appearance with mainly brick and flint elevations and a wonderful historic pedigree. The interior has been lovingly updated, showcasing a contemporary style while retaining many of its classical features. The large sash windows throughout the house allow natural light to flood in, enhancing the sense of space and comfort. Park House has been modernised and well-maintained offering contemporary bathrooms, kitchen with underfloor heating and tastefully presented interiors. The boot room, drying room and wine cellar facilitate a comfortable country lifestyle.

OUTSIDE
The gardens have been beautifully maintained with a further outer walled garden enclosed with high brick and flint walls incorporating a Grade II* listed dovecote and offering a fabulous outdoor entertaining space. The ‘in and out’ front drive is bound by an area of lawn and mature trees. The sheltered private stone terrace is ideal for outside dining overlooking a more formal inner garden. The rear drive separates the main house from Park Cottage which has its own private terrace garden. The barn on this driveway offers extra utility space and WC. Beyond this sits the quadruple garage, with an area of hard standing to the North and an Alitex greenhouse to the South. The countryside feel is finished by the view onto the open farmland at the rear of the property.
