The AreaMedstead

Walden occupies a southwest-facing, elevated setting about ½ mile just to the west of Medstead village centre. This popular Hampshire village includes The Handy Store (hardware store and Post Office), The Castle of Comfort Inn, a primary school, St Andrew’s Church, village green, cricket pitch, village hall, tennis club and bowls club. The village community enjoys a number of local societies including amateur dramatics and gardening. Medstead also has a recently-built retail square and doctor’s surgery. The village has a station for The Watercress Line Steam Railway and footpaths, bridleways and byways leading on to the North Downs countryside. The old market town of Alton is 5 miles away and has a sports centre and two golf courses. There are a number of excellent independent schools in the area, which include Pilgrims, Princes Mead, Alton School, Lord Wandsworth College, Bedales, Cheam, Twyford, Winchester College and St Swithun’s School for Girls. State schools include Medstead Primary School, Perins in Alresford, Alton College and Peter Symonds Sixth Form College.

Walden, MedsteadAbout this home

Walden enjoys far-reaching, southwest-facing views out towards Hursley, Winchester and Cheesefoot Head. This five-bedroom home extends to about 4,600 sq ft and is immaculate, both inside and out. All the rooms are light and spacious and downstairs is ideal for entertaining. The parquet flooring is particularly special, as is The Glass Room. Subject to planning, the craft room (or gym) could be converted into additional, self-contained accommodation, if required. There is wrap-around decking on three sides of the house and the property sits in just over an acre; it is peaceful, spacious and private. In the past the garden has been open to the public as part of the National Garden Scheme.
