7 bed detached house for sale

Shalden Green Road, Shalden, Alton, Hampshire GU34

This wonderful country house enjoys an idyllic rural approach, arriving via a charming country lane and turning into a spacious private driveway.

The property offers elegantly presented interiors, with a collection of beautifully appointed reception rooms and bedrooms, perfectly complemented by a detached annexe and set within spectacular private grounds or approximately 5 acres.

The quality and attention to detail are evident throughout, from the bespoke built-in joinery featured in each reception room, kitchen, and bedroom, to the seamless flow of light and space.

The double-aspect, bay-end drawing room is a standout, complete with a feature fireplace and French doors that open onto the garden terrace. The house is equally well-suited to both formal entertaining and relaxed family living, offering a dedicated dining room for special occasions and a well-appointed kitchen with space for everyday dining. A study enjoys tranquil views across the outdoor swimming pool, while a cozy sitting room or TV den offers the perfect retreat. Practical spaces include a utility/laundry room and a boot room, the latter opening via a stable door into a charming gravelled, enclosed courtyard.

The first floor is approached via a generous landing, leading to a luxurious principal bedroom with en suite, alongside five further double bedrooms, all enjoying enviable views over the gardens or the picturesque countryside beyond, and served by two family bathrooms.

The detached annexe provides flexible accommodation with a comfortable sitting room, mezzanine bedroom, and bathroom — ideal for guests or multi-generational living.
The grounds are truly a delight, predominantly south-west facing and beautifully landscaped. A wisteria-clad alfresco dining terrace is bordered by vibrant, well-stocked flower beds and overlooks sweeping lawns framed by mature and impressive trees. The terrace extends around the outdoor swimming pool to a further sun terrace, while a topiary hedge defines the formal gardens. Beyond, a tennis court, areas of woodland garden, and far-reaching views over neighbouring farmland complete the idyllic setting.

For equestrian enthusiasts, the property also boasts a stable yard with three stalls, a tack room, and hay barn, complemented by an adjoining an approximately two-acre paddock — creating a truly exceptional country home.
