The Property - A charming character country home with versatile space set in a secluded unspoilt rural setting. The main house has a lovely entrance hall, five reception rooms and four first floor bedrooms with 3 bathrooms (2 en suite). Many of the reception rooms and bedrooms have rural aspects and outlook the garden. A first floor two bedroom flat with living room, kitchen and bathroom is separately accessed but has a first floor link to the main house, so could be integrated as part of the house or provide extra space for staff or family. Overall scope to incorporate the flat and garage into the house, modernise and extend further, to create a beautiful home subject to planning.

Location - Severn Wells is positioned in a remarkably secluded rural setting surrounded by open farmland within the Privett parish, but also adjacent to the Froxfield community. The two villages form part of an unchanged rural landscape of gently undulating farmland and an extensive network of single track country lanes which provide wonderful cycling or walking options. High Cross at the heart of the parish of Froxfield has a village school, shop/post office, several sports clubs, church and village hall. Although out in the country the property is within easy driving distance of Petersfield with its more extensive shopping amenities, main line station and access to the A3 (links to Portsmouth and London). The A32 and A272 are also accessible providing great transport links to Alton, the Meon Valley or Winchester where the M3 links Southampton and Eastleigh airport. There is a wide range of private and state schools in the region including Churcher's, Bedales, TPS, St Swithuns and Winchester College. A local Montessori school operates from the Privett village hall and the well regarded "Pub with No Name" is also within easy reach at Colemore.

Outside - The house lies in the centre of a mature garden plot surrounded by open farmland. It is approached along an unmade farm track where a gravel drive sweeps to the front of the house. The garden is arranged mainly to the side and rear of the house with a lovely terrace by the garden room, extensive areas of lawn, several well stocked borders and a more natural area around a substantial pond. Mature hedgerows enclose the garden which will appeal to any keen gardener or perfect for children to free range in. There is a greenhouse and useful machinery store.
