Large detached home with annexe income and almost an acre of private grounds.
Five bedrooms plus self-contained annexe with separate entrance and parking
Set on just under an acre in peaceful Binsted, this five-bedroom detached home blends rustic character with contemporary living. The ground floor’s open-plan kitchen, dining and living space opens via two sets of French doors to the garden, while exposed brickwork and a log burner add authentic country warmth. The property includes a self-contained annexe currently operating as a successful Airbnb, producing £10,068.88 YTD (Jan–Sep), with its own entrance and parking.
Upstairs offers two double bedrooms, including a master with walk-in wardrobe and countryside views, plus a large family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. The annexe’s high-spec finish and vaulted ceiling provide flexible options: retain it as a revenue stream, integrate it into a larger family home, or use it for guests. Outside, mature oaks, a lawned plot, a dell and far-reaching views surround a generous driveway; lapsed planning consent exists for a double garage should a buyer wish to reinstate it.
This property sits within an established farming community and benefits from excellent transport links — Bentley and Alton stations are close by for direct services to London. Local amenities include a village primary school, pub and recreation ground, with more extensive shopping and schools in nearby Alton. Broadband and mobile signal are reported as strong, and the area has low crime and very affluent demographics.
Notable considerations: council tax is expensive, and the house sits in a hamlet/isolated location which may suit buyers seeking rural privacy but adds reliance on a car. The planning for a double garage has lapsed and would require reapplication if desired. Prospective buyers should inspect the plot and buildings to confirm maintenance needs and any retrofit or renovation costs.
