An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial period home, attractively set in a semi-rural location with superb countryside views and forming part of the historic conservation area for the Soberton Pumping Station. The property benefits from planning permission, presenting a wonderful opportunity to further enhance with an impressive and sizeable extension, creating a main bedroom with en-suite as well as a centre piece kitchen/living space. The house offers well-proportioned accommodation with some charming period features and extends to approximately 1425 sq ft.
Ideally positioned for convenient access to the village of Wickham and the surrounding countryside, the property has the advantage of permitted foot access onto the Meon Valley Trail. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the character, setting, and excellent potential this unique home has to offer.
