Oakhanger, Hampshire, GU35

Shortheath House is a delightful detached village house occupying a beautiful edge of village location. It is one of the most beautiful detached houses in the area and is set within generous private gardens. The accommodation flows exceptionally well and the rooms are light and well-proportioned. The generous accommodation is beautifully appointed and has been sensitively improved over recent years whilst still retaining all of the inherent character of the original house with elevations of local stone and exposed beams. Features of note include a large farmhouse kitchen/breakfast room with a dual plate Aga and stone work surfaces (together with a pantry and utility room) adjoining a lovely dining/reception hall. The accommodation also includes an airy sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove set upon a raised hearth and a 2nd sitting room/study. Of note, a door from the dining hall opens out to the rear garden and 'BBQ barn', ideal for Al Fresco dining. The five double bedrooms and stylish modern shower and bathrooms are set to the first floor and include a principal bedroom suite with an en suite shower room. There is also a separate family bathroom. Also, there is a very useful studio space (which together with the garage and workshop) could potentially be converted to create additional accommodation, if required and subject to any necessary consents. Importantly, the efficiency of the property has been improved with double glazed windows.

Outside
The house stands within attractive landscaped grounds providing a beautiful setting with areas of lawn together with established wisteria and a variety of young and mature trees. A paved terrace and perfectly positioned 'BBQ barn' is set to the rear and provides an ideal outside seating area with fine views towards the common. Access to the house is via a short unmade track to the integral double garage and workshop. There are areas of vegetable garden and a fruit cage to the front together with a timber shed.

Situation
The house occupies a very special location adjoining Shortheath Common, a protected area of special scientific interest, providing ample opportunity for adventure and many country pursuits.
