Set in about 1.2 acres of mature, well-planted grounds, The Oast House is a substantial period home marrying traditional character with contemporary living. Light floods the heart of the house through a kitchen/breakfast room and an adjoining beamed, vaulted garden room with walls of glass — a sociable hub opening onto a southerly terrace and landscaped lawns. The principal bedroom suite includes a dressing room and generous bathroom, while two further floors offer flexible family accommodation and a total of five bedrooms.
The property is well suited to family life and home-working: there are multiple reception rooms including an elegant drawing room with a large brick fireplace, a formal dining room, a lower-level office, and ancillary spaces such as a utility, cloakroom and boot room. Practical outbuildings include a heated and lit summer house, a detached double garage and a garden outbuilding, plus ample gravel parking and gated vehicular access.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: heating is from an oil-fired boiler, broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The house dates from before 1900 and retains period features, and while the build is solid brick and double-glazed, the scale of the property means ongoing maintenance and potential updating in places.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking character, generous indoor/outdoor space and excellent nearby schooling. It sits in a peaceful countryside setting with convenient road links (M3) and local shops and services in Odiham within easy reach — a rare combination for families who value space, privacy and traditional charm.
