Spitfire Lane, Chattis Hill, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

AN EXTREMELY WELL PRESENTED FIVE BEDROOM HOUSE TOGETHER WITH TWO GARAGES AND A BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED SOUTHERLY FACING GARDEN WITHIN AN EXCLUSIVE DEVELOPMENT SITUATED JUST 1.5 MILES TO THE WEST OF STOCKBRIDGE HIGH STREET

An extremely well presented five bedroom house providing spacious light and airy accommodation within an exclusive development, originally a Victorian stable block and associated buildings forming part of the historic Stockbridge Race Course (1775-1898) which was converted into eleven dwellings in 1989. The Race Course was closed in 1898 due to part of the land being inherited by Marianne Vaundry who strongly disapproved of gambling and refused to renew the lease.

Chattis Hill Stables occupies a pleasant location approximately one and a half miles west of Stockbridge, surrounded by farmland. Stockbridge offers a variety of shops including a delicatessen, Post Office, hotel, public houses, wine bar, restaurant, churches, doctors’ surgery, regular bus services and primary and secondary schools. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester and the abbey town of Romsey are all within a twenty minute drive, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country. There are also mainline railway stations in Winchester and Andover (both about fifteen minutes’ drive away) as well as Grateley (about ten minutes’ drive) with fast trains to Waterloo.
