Barley Hill, Dunbridge, Romsey, Hampshire

A delightful family home nestled within the pretty village of Dunbridge, an excellent position to enjoy Romsey, Stockbridge, Salisbury, and Winchester which are all within an easy drive. The house is positioned at the front of its plot, with the garden taking full advantage of its southwesterly aspect.

The ground floor has been extended by the current owners to increase the proportions of the main reception rooms. The entrance hall is bright and welcoming, with doors leading to the delightful kitchen/dining Room. An excellent
array of cupboards and space for an Americanstyle
fridge/freezer mean this will truly be the heart of the home. A useful utility room with more useful storage solutions and a handy door to the rear of the home. The sitting room has been enlarged by the decision to move the staircase to the end of the house, which makes a perfect room to relax and enjoy the glorious open fire.

To the first floor are four generous bedrooms;
the principal bedroom is of particular note with a beautifully appointed en-suite and views across the village to the countryside beyond. Bedroom three currently doubles as a home office, while the main bathroom services all three bedrooms.

The front of the property is screened from the lane by a well-established hedge, giving privacy as well as sheltering the front of the home. There is ample parking for a number of cars, as well as access to the rear of the property on either side of the house. The garden is truly spectacular, with a delightful terrace abutting the rear of the property, making this a tranquil place to enjoy the charming garden, perfect for entertaining and al fresco dining. The pond adds an element of calm with the rushes and waterlilies making this a delightful feature. There is a useful double garage with an electric roller style door and a fabulous workshop to the rear. The workshop could certainly be re-purposed as a home office if need be.

The property is situated in the village of Dunbridge, midway between the cathedral cities
of Winchester and Salisbury. The countryside is renowned for beautiful walks and bridalways.
The village also has the benefit of its own mainline station with an excellent service on the Salisbury/Romsey line, as well as a delightful pub, The Mill Arms.

The Georgian market town of Romsey is nearby, where there are two secondary schools, a wide variety of boutique shops, pubs and restaurants as well as a renowned supermarket. Both Winchester and Salisbury are easily accessible with excellent amenities and Winchester has fast and regular mainline train services to London Waterloo (from 57 minutes).

Excellent chalk stream fishing can be done on the river Dun (which runs through the neighbouring village of Lockerley) and on the River Test. Excellent local schools include the highly regarded Lockerley Primary School, in Winchester St Swithuns and Winchester College are two of the best known.
