5 bed detached house for sale

Charter Alley, Hampshire RG26

Dragon Court is located in a tranquil rural setting, surrounded by the rolling farming fields of Hampshire. The area provides a stunning backdrop and offers numerous scenic walks to explore.

The property was converted from a collection of 17th and 18th century barns in 2005 and offers outstanding accommodation over two levels with fabulous, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, alongside a modern stylish finish. Upon entering the property, the wonderful volume throughout is evident immediately with the main reception hall offering a double height ceiling traversed by a partial glass and wood suspended bridge linking the bedrooms on the first floor.

There are four reception rooms on the ground floor with an exceptional vaulted drawing room with exposed beams and a large open fireplace. The family kitchen reflects the style of a converted barn with vaulted ceilings and double doors on to the rear garden. With a central island with built in hob there is ample storage in the kitchen with a collection of fitted cabinets and bespoke units across three walls. A door also leads through to a rear laundry room, boot room, guest WC and family TV den with a secondary staircase providing access to the first floor.

There are two guest double bedrooms (both en suite) on the ground floor with three further bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom is of note and is accessed at the far end of the galleried landing with a dressing area and en suite bathroom. The two further bedrooms are both doubles with en suite facilities.

Overlooking the pretty rear garden is attached annexe with kitchenette, bathroom, utility, mezzanine bedroom and large main studio room. This annexe could be reconnected back into the main barn through a closed doorway into the main drawing room.

There is a further detached one bedroom cottage attached to the triple open bay garage which is currently used as a home office with gym and bathroom above. This space has been plumbed for a kitchen as well if required.

Outside, the gardens are to the front and rear with a large lawn to the front and a pretty formal partially terraced garden to the rear - perfect for outside entertaining. The front lawn is bordered by the driveway which leads up to the stable block with seven stables, tack room and log store. A gate leads from here through to a path onto four paddocks to the north of the property which are fenced and can also be accessed via a right of way through the neighbouring rear drive.
