Newbury Hill, Penton Mewsey, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A spacious modern house providing excellent family accommodation featuring an open plan live-in kitchen and four double bedrooms, standing within beautifully landscaped mature gardens and grounds extending to over one third of an acre enjoying a secluded and peaceful setting on the edge of this sought after village

Fairfield is a detached family house enjoying an attractive elevated setting on the edge of this beautiful village, standing in a generous plot of approximately 0.37 acres with terrace areas, lawns, mature trees and a charming woodland garden with space for a firepit. The present owners have improved the property in recent years, most notably by removing the wall between the kitchen/breakfast room and dining room to create an impressive open-plan live-in space ideal for modern family life and entertaining; the kitchen has been completely replaced and is well appointed with stone worktops and integral appliances, with the adjoining utility refitted in the same style. The well-balanced accommodation also includes a reception hall with cloakroom, living room with open fireplace, garden room and study/playroom, while the first floor offers a triple-aspect principal bedroom with en suite shower room, three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom, with the loft above the garage, carpeted and decorated, providing a children’s den or storage space accessed via the third bedroom.

The property is situated in the highly sought after village of Penton Mewsey which has a church, pub, village hall, cricket and tennis clubs and stables/livery. Andover train station is a ten minute drive and the A303 is about a mile away, providing excellent routes to London and the West Country. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are around 20 miles away, Newbury is 17 miles to the north and Basingstoke 25 miles to the east. The nearby villages of Hatherden, Appleshaw and Amport have well regarded primary schools, Farleigh School is within a short drive and there is a great choice of private and comprehensive secondary schools within easy reach.
