The Property
An outstanding manor house conversion in a truly unique setting,
less than a mile from the centre of Hartley Wintney Village.
Comprising of the original central section (including the main
entrance) of the historic Hartley Grange manor house and formal
grounds of approximately 0.8 of an acre. Originally built in the
17th Century and now Grade II listed as part of local Hartley
Wintney History, this is a truly unique property.
Ground Floor
From the main entrance foyer there is an inner hall currently
used as a reception room. Beyond there is a central hallway which
is home to the grand original main staircase up to the galleried
landing. There is also a WC sited under the stairs. From the
central hall, there is access to the kitchen, which has recently
been refitted to a high standard, now benefitting from a large
island with breakfast bar with stone worktop and containing a Neff
oven, and secondary multifunction ovengrill combination with
warming drawer below. The rest of the kitchen is equally well
appointed with a range of cabinetry and worksurface areas, with
Belfast sink an induction hob, brushed brass cabinet furniture and
mixer tap as well as under cabinet lighting. Off the kitchen there
is also a separate utility roomlarderlaundry room. From the central
hall, there is also access into the simply stunning sitting room,
complete with ornate ceiling plasterwork and over 22ft in width.
This room continues the high specification herringbone parquet
flooring from the rest of the ground floor, and compliments it with
a bay window dining area with views over the garden and fields
beyond, as well as a feature fireplace. Off the sitting room, there
is a study which has an external door to the driveway and internal
double doors leading back to the utility area.
First Floor
Upstairs there are three bedrooms all accessed from the vast
galleried landing area atop the staircase. The principal bedroom
closely mirrors the dimensions of the sitting room below, and
offers a modern en-suite bathroom with shower over bath
configuration. Bedroom two is to the rear and maintains the same
luxurious feel, with a view over the courtyard garden below.
Bedroom three is the smaller of the three, but could also still
suit as a double room or additional home office space. There is a
second bathroom at the end of the landing which offers a large walk
in wet-room style shower.
Outside
The property has a total plot of around one acre (roughly
illustrated in our photography and accompanying map). To the front
there is generous parking for a number of vehicles on the shared
driveway, as well as a twin garage. One garage has been converted
into a fantastic home gym. Off the kitchen there is a private
walled courtyard area. The old formal lawn for the manor is the
main view of the property and is part of the plot, as well as the
two further formal and more private areas of garden beyond.
Location
Grange Lane is less a mile from Hartley Wintney High Street via
a number of woodland footpaths. The village offers a good range of
shops for day to day needs and further boutique shopping for
independent outlets. There is a good number of eateries and public
houses both in the village and nearby. Larger regional centres are
Basingstoke (11 miles) and Reading (13 miles). Motorway access is
