6 bed detached house for sale

Catherington Lane, Catherington, Hampshire PO8

With brick elevations under a tiled roof and accommodation over three floors, this substantial Grade II Listed farmhouse is surely one not to be missed. With high ceilings and large windows, light flows through the accommodation whilst recent owners have been very clever in bringing every convenience you would expect to find in the 21st Century, blended with the character and charm of a period farmhouse. Window shutters, chunky old floorboards and stone floors are just some of the characteristics you can expect to find. The vaulted kitchen towards the rear of the property certainly has the "Wow" factor and very much feels like the heart of the house. The floorplan denotes the accommodation but as you can see, the proportions are truly classical. There's even a self-contained attached cottage which would be ideal for relatives and friends to stay that little bit longer. Outside, there is ample parking on a gravel drive to the front and the gardens are mainly laid to lawn with a variety of borders. There's even a heated swimming pool to wind hours away during the summer months, enclosed by picket fencing. All in all, this is a house that deserves to be snapped up in no time.
