Wolverton, Kingsclere, Hampshire

Frith Common Farm is a beautiful period farmhouse set in wonderful gardens and grounds with fabulous far-reaching views. The house is situated down a small lane and backs onto open countryside, and has all the advantages of the surrounding beautiful rural outdoor space combined with accessibility to larger towns and fast transport links to London. The property has a traditional country house feel and benefits from generous sized principal reception rooms, all of which are filled with natural light from the many windows, and look out across the grounds. The rooms flow well creating great entertaining space, and include a large reception hall, a delightful drawing room with an open fireplace, a sitting room with a log burner, and a good sized formal dining room. The kitchen/breakfast room is well fitted with bespoke wooden cabinetry and an Aga, and has french doors that open onto the terrace and garden. There is also a delightful family room adjacent to the kitchen. Upstairs there is a large principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, and four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. All the bedrooms have wonderful views across the garden. The house is valuably un-listed, and subject to the necessary consents, could be altered further. Planning permission was previously granted to demolish the tool shed and extend the property to create a further bedroom and bathroom. This has now lapsed and interested parties would need to make their own enquiries of the local planning authority.

The house sits in the middle of grounds and is approached across a sweeping gravel driveway. The gardens surround the house, and are mainly laid to lawn with a mixture of mature trees and shrubs creating a very secluded and peaceful setting. There is a wide terrace at the rear of the house with far reaching views across the main lawn to the farmland and countryside beyond. There is a vegetable garden with raised beds and a fruit cage which is discreetly screened from the garden by mature hedging. There is an attractive small period barn, together with a stable and kennel, located conveniently to the side of the paddocks. This barn is linked with the driveway and can be utilised either as garaging or as a small agricultural barn for the land.

Frith Common Farm is located in a fantastic and convenient position between Newbury and Basingstoke. The area offers wonderful walking and riding opportunities which can be accessed directly from the property. Kingsclere is only 1 mile away and has a thriving local community and provides excellent local facilities including a primary school, village shop, butcher, doctors’ surgery, dentist, chemist and hairdresser. There is a choice of commuting options, with direct train services from Basingstoke into London Waterloo, or from Newbury into London Paddington, and easy access to the M3 and M4. The property is located close to some of the most prestigious schools in the area including Cheam, Elstree, Horris Hill, Bradfield and Downe House.
