The imposing house is set in approximately 1.3 acres and benefits from a large garden store and 2305 sq ft barn which could be converted to stabling or separate living accommodation (subject to planning consent). The original property is believed to be dated back in parts to some 300 years ago, the central front door faces towards Hoe Cross crossroads and there are far reaching views for many miles towards Portsdown Hill, benefiting from being approximately 400 ft above sea level with farmland and woodland views on three aspects.
The house is reached via remote controlled gates leading to a large parking and turning area to the rear of the house and adjacent to the large barn. The gardens are enclosed on all sides with the front garden being boarded from the road by a brick and flint wall and mature hedge. To the rear is a large terraced area for 'al-fresco' dining, the formal gardens cover 1.3 acres with a further 2.4 acres available by private negotiation if required. Hambledon has the quintessential features of an English village with St. Peters & St. Pauls Church, general store, public house, village hall and cricket grounds, the area forms part of the South Downs National Park and is regarded as an area of outstanding natural beauty with an abundance of footpaths and bridleways including the South Downs Way. Petersfield with its mainline railway station to London Waterloo is approximately twelve miles away; the cities of Winchester and Portsmouth are all within easy commutable reach. Early viewing of this impressive house is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
Entrance Hoe Cross Farm sits proudly within the south westerly area of the plot with far reaching views towards fields and woodland beyond, set at a crossroad location behind a brick and flint wall with high hedges defining the front boundary. The farmhouse has an attractive, rendered and painted symmetrical frontage with curved steps that lead up to the main front door nestled beneath a covered porch supported by Gothic pillars.

The gardens are enclosed by fencing on all sides with mature hedges, fruit trees and bushes, wooden built garden shed.
