Set within almost half an acre in Ampfield, this substantial four-bedroom detached home offers flexible family living across generous rooms and grounds. The principal suite and second bedroom each have en suites, and a large sitting room links to a conservatory that overlooks the south-facing garden — ideal for children and outdoor entertaining. A roof terrace from the main bedroom provides private outdoor space with countryside views.
Practical features include a detached double garage, sweeping driveway parking, and three bathrooms to ease morning routines. The kitchen/breakfast room and separate dining room with a built-in bar give scope for family meals and hosting. The property sits within the Thornden/Hiltingbury school catchments and benefits from low local crime and a peaceful hamlet setting.
Buyers should note material practicalities: the home uses oil-fired central heating with an on-site oil tank, and drainage is private (septic tank) awaiting Environmental Agency compliance certification. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Constructed mid-20th century, the house will suit buyers wanting a well-proportioned family house with some updating rather than a brand-new home.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful family property in a prosperous rural location. It will appeal to parents seeking strong school catchments and large gardens, or to buyers wanting a roomy countryside home with immediate parking and garage facilities — while accepting the need to manage oil heating, private drainage and limited broadband performance.
