A substantial detached village home set on a large plot in Ashbury, offered chain free and arranged as a 2,000 sq ft main house plus an independently accessible 820 sq ft two‑storey annexe. The main house provides three reception rooms, four double bedrooms (one with dressing room and en‑suite), a living room with log burner and bi‑fold doors out to expansive decking. The annexe is only around a year old, with its own kitchen/reception, two double bedrooms, shower room and underfloor heating — well suited for guests, a rental income stream or multi‑generational living.
Outside there is ample off‑street parking, electric roll‑up garage doors, a timber outbuilding suitable for home office/gym and multiple outdoor seating areas including a lawn, pond and sizeable deck that’s ideal for dining and a hot tub. The location sits within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and benefits from village amenities: pub, church, village hall and a primary school with a community bus to nearby secondary schooling.
Practical notes: the main house runs on oil‑fired boiler and radiators, while the annexe uses a recent air‑source heat pump with underfloor heating. The property was constructed in the late 1960s/early 1970s and the main house will suit buyers wanting a largely lived‑in family home with scope for cosmetic updating; the annexe reduces immediate accommodation pressure and offers clear rental or flexible use potential. Council tax is noted as expensive.
This is a countryside lifestyle purchase for buyers seeking space, a separate annexe and direct access to walking country. Investors will find the annexe attractive for short‑term or long‑let income; families will value the separate living areas and large private garden. Any buyer should consider ongoing running costs of oil heating in the main house and plan for incremental updating where desired.
