Location

The house is set within one of the most sought after locations within the village of Compton. This highly regarded village has a particularly well respected primary school and there are excellent sporting facilities with playing fields and tennis courts on Compton Down with their recently built pavilion which holds a number of community functions.

The cathedral city of Winchester lies approximately 3 miles to the north, with its excellent range of shopping, cultural and recreational facilities, and most importantly a main line railway service to London Waterloo. The nearby village of Shawford also offers access to the main line railway network, again with a service through to London Waterloo.

Schooling in the area is first class with a wide range of excellent private and state schooling opportunities including Twyford School, St Swithun's School for Girls, Winchester College, Pilgrims School, Prince's Mead, and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.

The M3 motorway offers excellent access to London, the A34, A303 and the M27 to the south. Southampton International Airport at Eastleigh is easily accessible and offers a wide range of national and international destinations.

The area benefits from a number of footpaths and bridleways with excellent riding and a livery situated at the end of Compton Street.

Description

Parsonage Farmhouse is a gorgeous detached period home offering beautifully proportioned accommodation, extending to
approximately 1,850 sq. ft.

On the ground floor is an impressive c.22ft triple aspect sitting room, with a beautiful bay window overlooking the rear garden and central fireplace, providing superb space for entertaining and relaxing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted cupboards and drawers, with a breakfast bar and access to the cellar. The kitchen links the sitting room through to a good sized further family room/snug. A utility room, cloakroom, and entrance porch completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three generous bedrooms, two of which benefit from a Jack-and-Jill style bathroom, and a further family bathroom.

The gardens are equally as impressive as the house itself, with many of the rooms overlooking the rear garden. The grounds extend to approximately 0.31 acres, with a large driveway providing ample off road parking for numerous vehicles, in turn leading to a double garage. The gardens predominantly lie to the rear of the property, and are secluded by mature trees and hedge borders. Beautiful flower beds and borders surrounding an expanse of level lawn provides a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining.

Whilst the property is in need of modernisation and refurbishment throughout, it clearly has great potential to offer a fabulous living environment, with a huge amount of charm, well-balanced accommodation, in this incredibly special location.
