4 bed detached house for sale

Scrubbs Lane, Bishops Sutton, Alresford SO24

The Old Vicarage in Bishops Sutton presents an amazing opportunity to live in a large, individual home on a secluded and private 0.82 acre plot on the edge of this lovely village, just 2 miles from Alresford. The house has been in the same ownership for many years and now requires refurbishment to make it suitable for 21st century living.

Properties of this size and quality rarely come up for sale in the Alresford area, and would be an ideal find for someone looking for their forever family home in a quiet, rural setting.

Double gates open to a sweeping driveway, with a double garage beyond. An enclosed porch stands at the front of the house, opening to the entrance hall, from where a staircase leads up to first floor. The drawing room, dining room and sitting room are all generously proportioned reception rooms, with high ceilings and sash windows. A large kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, pantry, larder and cloakroom complete the ground floor accommodation.

Off the spacious first floor landing are four double bedrooms, a bathroom, cloakroom and laundry room. The principal bedroom has an ensuite shower room, and enjoys views over the garden. A further staircase leads up to the attic rooms, one of which offers a large amount of storage space. There is a further bedroom, which has been used as a study for many years, which benefits from lovely views over the garden and fields beyond.

The south-westerly facing garden enjoys a sunny aspect, and is surrounded by mature hedging and trees, ensuring privacy and seclusion. The garden is lawned, with a path leading to a vegetable garden and orchard, featuring several species of mature apple and pear trees.
