Penton Mewsey, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A substantial detached period house and barn/potential ancillary accommodation, all in need of renovation but offering great scope and potential with a southerly facing garden.

A large detached Victorian house in need of renovation and modernisation. A cob section to the northern end is likely to require demolition or rebuilding. There is also a detached barn offering scope for ancillary accommodation subject to planning consent. This is an exciting opportunity to restore a fine old house and create a well proportioned family home situated on the edge of this popular village with a southerly facing garden.

The property is situated on the edge of the highly sought after village of Penton Mewsey which has a church, public house, bus services, cricket and tennis clubs, stables, and a village hall. In the nearby villages, Hatherden and Appleshaw have primary schools and Weyhill has a range of facilities, including a restaurant and shop, a beautiful church, a garage, the Pink Olive restaurant and two public houses. In the restored Fair Ground there is a craft centre and the excellent Hillier Garden Centre complex is nearby. The town of Andover, just 3 miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to London (Waterloo is just over the hour). Access to the A303 is about a mile away, providing excellent routes to London on the one hand and the West Country on the other. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are around 20 miles away, Newbury is 17 miles to the north and Basingstoke 25 miles away to the east. The New Forest and South Coast can be reached in about an hour.
