Frog Lane, Rotherwick, Hampshire

Believed to date to C18, and with an attractive weather boarded facade, alongside timber framing and white painted infills, Tudor Barn offers just over 3,000 sq ft of characterful accommodation. The impressive drawing room showcases a vaulted ceiling with oak framing and a brick-built fireplace. A family room and a sitting room offer additional reception spaces with options to provide a formal dining room, if required. The kitchen is fitted with bespoke cabinetry and stone-work surfaces and there is planning consent to extend the kitchen to create a family/garden room as part of the kitchen.

The property offers five bedrooms, with the principal suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on the ground floor of the north-west wing. A further bedroom with an en-suite bathrom is situated on the upper level above the kitchen and another bedroom and shower room is above the family room and beside the mezzanine study/library which has open timber beams and has glimpses of the rooms below.

The property is approached via five-bar gates onto a gravelled driveway, which extends into a parking area for several cars. The decorative courtyard garden at the front of the property is beautifully designed with a formal styling of clipped box squares, topiary lollipop trees and geometric paving, with a sunny south-west facing aspect. The rear garden has a gate giving access onto a pathway which links to terracing at the rear of the property which has direct access from the kitchen. The gardens are well-stocked with flower beds and selection of shrubs and perennial plants, with spots to sit and enjoy this colourful sanctuary. Beyond the immediate garden, several mature trees form an area of dappled shade and beyond this a large expanse of lawn, an ideal play area for children. The large barn outbuilding, previously a helicopter barn, is sited at the far end of the garden offering scope for conversion to a leisure complex, ancillary accommodation or even a separate dwelling, subject to the necessary planning consents. There is also a two office outbuilding providing an excellent facility for home-workers. The gardens amount to about an acre in total.

Rotherwick is a semi-rural village nestled in gently undulating countryside just to the north of the larger village of Hook.

Hook offers a good range of shopping facilities, including a recently opened Sainsburys, Tesco supermarket, a doctors' surgery, dentists, Post Office and public houses. There is an infant and junior school both rated ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted and independent schools in the vicinity include Lord Wandsworth College, Sherfield and Daneshill Schools. For outdoor pursuits, there are several local parks nearby including Bassetts Mead Country Park and Hartletts Park. Golf at Tylney Park Golf Club is within easy reach.
