8 bed detached house for sale

South Warnborough, Hampshire RG29

The Manor is a delightful Grade II Listed house which occupies a wonderful position in the heart of the village and yet has views over its own garden and neighbouring parkland. These combine to provide the house with an outstanding protected setting close to the village.

The combination of well laid out reception rooms, a delightful family kitchen with direct access onto the garden and excellent bedroom accommodation make it a family home with good entertaining space. Many of the rooms have either sash windows or French doors together with high ceilings and an abundance of period features including ornate fireplaces, cornice and plaster work.

On the second floor is further accommodation which would make an ideal staff/nanny flat or alternatively a teenager's suite.

Gardens and Grounds

The garden and grounds surround the house and include a swimming pool and tennis court, both in need of an update. There is a large garage block attached to a self-contained one bedroom annexe and integral carport. There is also a substantial former three bay car garage, which the current owners have converted into a gym with further parking by the rear entrance.

The original stable block, including the store room, could have development potential, subject to the necessary planning consent. There is also wooden stabling close to the pastureland.

The combination of this impressive house, garaging, stabling, swimming pool and tennis court together with the formal drive approach and secondary access, makes for an impressive country house in this convenient location.

Located on the southern side of the delightful village of South Warnborough, the village has an active community with a public house, village hall and shop at its heart. The Manor has its own private gate to a 12th Century church. The village is surrounded by attractive Hampshire countryside, much of which is protected farmland, throughout which are many footpaths and bridleways to enjoy the scenery. Additional local amenities can be found in the nearby Georgian village of Odiham and the larger centres of Alton, Basingstoke and Farnham, all have a broader range of shopping, educational and recreational facilities.

Educational needs are well served by excellent state primary schools in Long Sutton and secondary schools in Odiham and Alton. There are a broader range of private schools within daily driving distance, including Lord Wandsworth College, Daneshill and St Neots.
