La Bresse Farm has been in the same family ownership for over 100 years and the existing bungalow was built in 1975 on the site of a former dwelling. Subsequently, in 2005, planning permission was granted for a more ambitious property encompassing a stylish new farmhouse with a range of impressive barns and outbuildings. These barns and outbuildings have now been constructed, and planning permission continues for the implementation of the new neo-classical style property. The site is fully mature and benefits from beautiful far reaching views and lovely grounds interspersed with interesting specimen trees, shrubs and mixed borders. The property benefits from two driveways allowing separate access to the barn complex, distinct from the main house, if required. The existing bungalow is well maintained and is a very nice house in its own right, and incoming buyers may choose not to replace it. The overall collection of buildings one sees today offers enormous flexibility and options.<br /><br />The gardens and grounds are a fantastic feature of the property, extending to approximately 2.2 acres with large areas of beautifully maintained lawns and wonderful rural views of the surrounding countryside in all directions. In addition to the existing bungalow there are three detached outbuildings providing ancillary accommodation, storage, workshops and garaging, and a large cellar area providing further storage space. There is also a further outbuilding, currently used for wood storage, with potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to any necessary planning permission. The house is approached from the lane across a gated driveway, and there is a second entrance at the far end of the plot providing additional parking and access to garaging.<br /><br />La Bresse Farm is situated in the small hamlet of Cole Henley, and lies within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the edge of Watership Down. The surrounding countryside offers extensive walking, riding and cycling opportunities. There is an active local community, and nearby Whitchurch, Overton and Kingsclere provide a wide range of local amenities, including a post office, supermarket, doctors' surgery, and various cafes and pubs. The property lies close to the larger towns of Newbury, Andover, Basingstoke and Winchester, all of which provide a wider range of amenities. Communications in the area are excellent, with direct trains from Whitchurch into London Waterloo, and fast access to the A34, linking with the M4 and M3, London and the West Country. There is a wide choice of highly regarded schools in the area including Cheam, Horris Hill, Farleigh, Twyford, Pilgrims, Princes Mead, St. Swithun’s and Winchester College.
