Haydown Farm is a charming period property with roots tracing back to the early 16th century, featuring later enhancements and set within approximately 3 acres of land, including various barns. This farmhouse has been cherished as a family residence and offers notable potential for thoughtful renovations. The layout on the ground floor consists of a traditional farmhouse kitchen equipped with an oil-fired AGA and ample storage units. The dining room showcases original oak beams, parquet flooring, and an inviting inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A double-aspect sitting room benefits from an open fireplace and French doors leading to the courtyard. Additionally, there is a generously sized study, utility room, and a conveniently located downstairs w/c. The first floor accommodates four spacious bedrooms with built-in storage, including a principal suite with an en suite bathroom and another family bathroom. Attached to the main house is a former barn section currently divided into storage, workshop, and garden room; this space holds significant promise for conversion into additional living areas pending necessary permissions.
The barn complex includes Haydown Barn itself, comprising over 3,500 square feet of agricultural buildings with approved planning consent for transformation into residential spaces (Application References: 22/03347/FULLN and 22/03348/LBWN). This historical structure features double-height areas adorned with original beams alongside practical single-story cart sheds and stabling that also form part of the prospective conversion.
The extensive grounds are particularly noteworthy, offering well-maintained formal gardens adjacent to the house alongside vast lawned areas, flower beds, mature trees, paddocks at the rear of the barn, a small water meadow, and even an island amidst two streams.
Located in a serene semi-rural setting within the highly sought-after Test Valley village community surrounded by picturesque countryside, Haydown Farm provides easy access to local amenities such as primary schools and shops in nearby Over Wallop. For more extensive facilities, Stockbridge serves as a convenient hub while Andover along with historic cities like Winchester and Salisbury are within reach. Transportation links are robust with mainline railway services available at Grateley or Andover leading into Waterloo. Access to major roads like the A303 facilitates travel toward London.
