5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Appleshaw, Andover, Hampshire SP11

A rare Grade II listed gem in the heart of the countryside showcasing the perfect blend of character charm and modern comfort.

Description
This enchanting late 18th Century Grade II listed house has been sympathetically extended over the years. More recently the property has been significantly upgraded to centre around a beautiful open plan kitchen which leads on to the garden. There is a larger than average utility/boot room which could also be changed to a second snug while the sitting room is to the front of the house. Across from this is the reception hall, a beautiful entrance space with a large bay window, a nod to the home's former guise as a village store. The hall and downstairs cloakroom complete this floor.

To the first floor there are three double bedrooms displaying beautiful period details, which are served by a newly installed bathroom. A separate staircase leads to the guest bedroom with adjoining shower room.

A detached brick and flint barn has also been converted into a useful one bedroom guest cottage which would also make the ideal work from home base.

Outside

Behind the house and barn lies a beautifully enclosed split-level courtyard terrace, paved in brick and gravel and framed by climbing roses and trailing wisteria. This charming space is perfectly suited for entertaining, whether it be summer barbecues or relaxed evenings outdoors, with a practical log store tucked neatly to one side. From here, a picket fence with a wide gate opens onto the main lawn, a generous sweep of green bordered by vibrant herbaceous beds brimming with shrubs, roses, and seasonal flowers. A variety of specimen trees add interest and shade, while a gravel terrace and small decking area provide additional spots to sit and enjoy the surroundings.

At the far end of the garden, a romantic rose and wisteria archway leads through to the kitchen garden. Here, gravel paths wind between four raised vegetable beds, with ample space for a greenhouse. Apple trees, roses, and shrubs complete the scene, all enclosed by handsome tile-capped walls that lend both privacy and character. The result is a garden that balances elegance with practicality, offering a delightful blend of ornamental beauty and productive space.
