Over Wallop, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

An exciting opportunity to purchase this detached bungalow set in approaching 1.5 acres of grounds, including a mature garden and adjoining paddock, in a quiet rural setting with open countryside views and offering excellent scope and potential

A detached bungalow set in approaching 1.5 acres, situated on the very edge of the village and surrounded by farmland and countryside on a rural lane serving a number of properties before reducing to a track. The land forms a long rectangle with the bungalow sitting within a generous square garden plot of about 0.43 acres, while the adjoining paddock extends to the south and is well enclosed and laid to pasture. This property may particularly appeal to those seeking the good life or with equestrian interests, as well as offering enormous potential to extend significantly and take full advantage of the large plot, open views and rural position, while still being within easy reach of Grateley mainline station, the A303 and the nearby centres of Stockbridge, Salisbury and Andover. Whilst the potential is clear, it is important to note that the bungalow is currently very well presented and comfortable, with full double glazing and central heating, and offers well balanced accommodation including a wide hallway and central living zone with living room and fireplace, dining room and kitchen breakfast room. To one end are three double bedrooms and a modern shower room, while to the other end are two further bedrooms and another modern shower room, which could easily be reconfigured as a principal suite with dressing room and en suite.

This property is rurally situated on the edge of the village of Over Wallop which has a post office/store, church and public house. The neighbouring village of Middle Wallop has a garage/shop and public house and village hall. There is a primary school in Nether Wallop.

The picturesque town of Stockbridge, traversed by the River Test, is a 10 minutes drive away and has local shops, Co-op with a post office, doctors and dental surgeries, schools and an abundance of pubs and restaurants.
