Detached bungalow for sale in Trout Lane, Stockbridge SO20

If peace and tranquillity in the countryside are high on your wish list, then look no further. Hylands in Nether Wallop sits at the end of a private country track, above the river and nestled on the edge of woods and footpaths.

It is virtually unique in the village, being south facing, away from roads, on the slope up from the river with far reaching views. Sitting above the majority of the village as it does, Hylands is not troubled by the flooding that can sometimes occur elsewhere in the village. An ideal location for any dog owner, with extensive walks accessible from the front door. Also excellent for birdwatchers, with the surrounding treeline home to many species and unhindered views of soaring hawks through the glass roof of the conservatory. This is a hidden gem of a home that will surprise you as soon as you step through the front door.

Conservatory

The large conservatory nestles in the south facing garden, maximising the view across the village, including to the nearby 11th century church, subtly lit up in the evenings and with the gentle ringing of bells on the hour. The conservatory brings the outside in and can be enjoyed in any weather, with underfloor heating keeping it cosy and warm in the winter months. The external bifolding doors between the lounge and conservatory can be opened completely to extend the area into wonderful entertaining space or it can be shut down to return the lounge to a separate, cosier room when darkness falls.

The large patio area is ideal for hosting summer events and al fresco dining, allowing guests and ambiance to flow throughout the house, conservatory and garden. The decked veranda, which is under shelter, can be utilised for either shade from the sun or protection from rain, whilst still enabling the garden and views to be enjoyed.

The garden itself is a mix of cottage garden with a modern twist, with Indian sandstone patio, a self-sufficient pond and low maintenance plants, including lawn on 2 levels. It attracts and holds the heat whilst minimising any wind and is not overlooked, making it very private.

Front

There is parking for 5 vehicles, though the current owners have converted the double garage into a car port for 2 cars with secured storage/workshop to the rear. Two other vehicles can be parked in front of and adjacent to the garage.

To the front of the house, behind the double garage, is an area of land less manicured than the south facing garden. This is where evenings can be spent sat around the firepit, chatting with any passing dogwalkers, whittling sticks or camping out with children.
