Detached house for sale in Shay Lane, Hampton, Malpas SY14

Delightful country house in excellent condition, set in grounds of just under 25 acres, commanding superb views of the Bickerton Hills together with magnificent and versatile outbuildings

Comment From Robert Reed Of Gascoigne Halman

It is a huge honour to offer for sale Hampton Grange, an exquisite rural retreat with an outstanding and rarely found combination of attributes. It is, in my opinion, as good an example of its type presently available to buy, within a very wide radius and for many people, they will have already decided to offer just by the time they reach the tree lined driveway approach!

Whilst I regularly encounter a demand for one off residences of character at the higher end of the market, often the sheer amount of work associated with restoring an older property can be a challenge for those purchasers short of time. No such concerns exist here, with the house and outbuildings having been subject to a continuous and unstinting investment in recent years. These works combine the character and appeal of the original buildings with sustainable and tasteful contemporary quality.

The video tour, detailed floorplans and photograph selection demonstrate comprehensively the detail of this magnificent offering. So let me just pick a few brief highlights.

Firstly the relationship between the house and the land. Set in just under 25 acres, this is a most tranquil and beautiful setting, with the house taking full advantage of the views by virtue of large feature windows and a bespoke first floor living room with balcony overlooking land that is owned by the property.

Accommodation And Dimensions
