London Road, Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, RG27

The Property

A genuinely unique “garden apartment” on the ground floor of this former manor house - Shapley House. With three good sized bedrooms, a modern kitchen and vast living/dining space as well as both private gardens and the use of further communal garden space, there is also a brick outbuilding with home office and gym.

Accommodation

Through the private front door into a utility/boot room space with plenty of storage, the property then opens up to the modern kitchen, which has a range of wall mounted and base level cabinets, a large island/breakfast bar and a full range of integrated appliances. There are also bi-folding doors leading out to the private garden and outbuilding.

Onwards to a central hallway, to the left is the vast living/dining space which has a number of original features including large bay window with raised seating area and garden views, timber beams in the ceiling, decorative wood panelling and an open fireplace now with log burning stove as well as traditional solid block parquet flooring.

Back to the hallway, there are two good sized bedrooms to the right as well as the family bathroom which has also been completely refitted by the current owners.

Opposite the bathroom is the main bedroom which is impressive in size measuring over 22 feet from the door into the bay window. There is also a beautiful feature fireplace and now a new en-suite shower room here.

Outside

Off the kitchen there is access to the side garden which is solely owned by this property. Here there is a brick built outbuilding which is currently in use as both a home office and a home gym, also complete with another wood burning stove.

At the rear of the apartment there is a private gravel terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining, and then steps leading on to another area of lawn as part of this property.

The communal grounds beyond create some lovely views and further opportunity to enjoy outdoor living, culminating in an area of woodland to look out upon. This genuinely unique property also benefits from a garage opposite the front door and a further storage area in the cellar. There is also plentiful parking for residents and guests alike.
