Nestled on a beautiful vineyard, this oak barn apartment is perfectly situated at the entrance to the scenic South Downs National Park, featuring expansive heathlands, woodlands, farmland, and historic landmarks to explore. The area offers numerous dog-friendly pubs for a warm welcome, meaning a truly idyllic stay for walkers and cyclists, with a mix of relaxed and more challenging country trails right from the doorstep. Just 2.5 miles away, the bustling market town of Alton offers a charming mix of historical architecture, along with a range of shops, cafes, and restaurants. A little further, in Selborne (4.5 miles), visitors can hike the renowned zig-zag trail, admire the landscapes, explore the hangers, or visit Gilbert White’s House and The Oates Collection.
One of four beautifully decorated apartments within this exquisite oak barn, this gorgeous country escape effortlessly blends traditional features and contemporary decor. Step into the open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner and the serene design and pops of colour will make you feel right at home. Sit back in the lounge area in front of the roaring wood burner to relax after a day out in the South Downs. Dinner can be whipped up efficiently in the well-appointed kitchen, and enjoyed in the laid-back dining space. When sleep calls, head up the charming, open-tread spiral staircase and turn in for the night into the king-size bedroom, perhaps with a soak in the roll-top bath, or en-suite rainfall shower for added relaxation. In the morning, step out of the bedroom directly onto the balcony to absorb the stunning vineyard and countryside views before breakfast.
A shared front garden with pretty flowers and walkways offers an opportunity to get out in the fresh air, and explore further into the estate, where 80 acres of woodland, vines, farmland and lakes await. There’s wildlife aplenty, as well as resident peacocks, rare-breed chickens and a flock of sheep. There’s ample on-site parking.
