Ryebridge Lane

Alton, Hampshire, GU34

Charming Grade II listed former vicarage with grass tennis court, annexe and wine cellar in a delightful village with rural views.

Set opposite the church at the heart of Upper Froyle, this Grade II listed former vicarage has Georgian and 17th century origins, with open farmland rolling away behind. It was substantially extended in 2010 and equipped with 21st century sustainable technology including ground source heat pumps and a biomass log burner. Exposed beams, latticed windows and worn stone floors run throughout, set against more recent additions that bring the property fully up to date. Four reception rooms give the ground floor its scale: a drawing room and family room sit either side of a central loggia, with a study at the front of the house and a beamed kitchen, dining and living space running through to the rear. A circular stone staircase rises through the building to a top floor turret, taking in exceptional countryside views along the way. Across the first and second floors are seven bedrooms and six bath and shower rooms, five of them en-suite, each carrying its own share of period character, from exposed timberwork to leaded windows framing the garden and fields beyond. Outside, a garage with a self-contained flat above sits alongside a separate wine cellar. A grass tennis court, paddock and granary extend the grounds further, with a barn and further outbuildings completing the picture, all set within approximately 2.65 acres.
