A superb country house with wonderful views
The House
Handcross House is only a short walk from the centre of the
village and adjoins open countryside with superb views of
the North Hampshire Downs which lie immediately to the
south. The house is set back from the lane and approached
from a private drive and entrance gates.
Handcross is a luxurious new country house built by the
multi-award winning designer and developer Tim Cooksey.
This superb family house is built with handmade bricks, sash windows with stone lintels and lead dormers giving it a classical look. The layout of both the accommodation and garden have been cleverly arranged to take every advantage of its undulating setting and the fine views of the Downs. The house has an internal area of just over 5,000 square feet (468.1 square meters) with the accommodation arranged on
three floors with a further 400 square feet of garaging.
Ground Floor
The front door opens onto a spacious hall with a stone floor
and stairs to the main floor. Off the hall are two double
bedrooms with built-in wardrobes together with en-suite
shower rooms. There is also a large laundry with fitted
cupboards and work surfaces as well as an airing cupboard
and access to the plant & boiler room. At the foot of the
stairs is a wine store with fitted racks and a cinema/games
room with a carpeted floor with wiring for sound and TV.
Main Floor
The stairs lead to a wide, south facing landing with a fitted
carpet and double glazed doors onto the side terrace. A door
leads to a well-proportioned, drawing room which has a
built-in woodburner and a set of glazed double doors opening
onto a south facing stone terrace with wonderful views to the
Downs beyond.
Double doors lead into a superb south facing 40’ kitchen,
dining and living area which is designed to be the focal part
of the house and enjoys stunning views over the gardens and
grounds towards Watership Down. The room has a stone
floor throughout. There are three sets of glazed double doors
opening onto a wide south and west facing stone terrace with
lawns beyond. The kitchen is fitted with a beautiful handmade
painted kitchen by John Lewis of Hungerford, with granite
work surfaces and splashbacks, incorporating a breakfast bar.
It is fitted with a top of the range, range cooker, incorporating
an electric grill, two ovens, a warming drawer with a gas
5 ring hob and hood above. Also fitted are a dishwasher, wine
cooler, and fridge/freezer with an icemaker.
From the kitchen, a door leads to a rear hall off which are a
boot room and back door, a cosy sitting room/study and a
cloakroom. The master bedroom suite is extremely spacious
and comfortable and again enjoys lovely views. It includes a
good sized dressing room with a generous pc sum for fitted
wardrobes and a luxurious bathroom with a free standing
bath, shower and twin vanity units under stone tops.
Second Floor
The stairs lead to a good sized games room with dormer
windows together with two double bedrooms (one with a
balcony) and a well fitted family bathroom.
Garden and Grounds
The house is in a lovely rural setting on the edge of the village.
Sited on rising ground the immediate garden has been cleverly
landscaped to create stone terraces and lawns which connect
with the principle reception areas on the south and west
elevations of the house. Here there are wonderful open views
and opportunities for further planting.
Beyond the garden and separated by a post and rail fence
is a paddock of just under two acres which extends to the
rear boundary. Access is via a five bar gate sited behind
the garage. To the front of the house is gravel parking
area for several cars with a spur which leads to the side
door of the house.
