Quarley, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A unique country property providing extensive and versatile accommodation all beautifully presented and full of character set within private landscaped gardens with plenty of parking and a triple garage.

An outstanding country residence that has been largely rebuilt in recent years complementing the main thatched cottage and separate self contained annexe cleverly connected via a glazed link/garden room. Standing in secluded mature landscaped gardens and grounds of approaching 0.8 acres. There is extensive parking and a well built detached triple garage with large loft/store above. This well presented accommodation extends to 3,765 sq ft and just over 5,000 sq ft with the garage and outbuildings.

The property is situated in the rural hamlet of Quarley which has a village hall, church and bus service. The nearby village of Grateley (one mile distant) has a Post Office and store, primary school (which we understand has a first class reputation), public house, church, village hall and main line railway station providing fast services to London Waterloo (1 hour 20 minutes). The picturesque town of Stockbridge, traversed by the River Test, is 10 minutes’ drive away and has local shops, a Post Office, doctor’s surgery, schools and an abundance of pubs and restaurants. Andover, approximately six miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, and also has a mainline station. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury and the town of Basingstoke are all within 30 minutes’ drive and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
