Una Casa DI Campagna In Una Zona Della Città

A beautifully presented, family home, tucked away in a peaceful setting close to the River Itchen and the heart of Winchester.

Abbotts Barton Farmhouse is a wonderfully welcoming Grade II* Listed home, set in a peaceful and private position on the northern edge of Winchester, close to the River Itchen and its beautiful water meadows. The house combines generous family accommodation with beautifully established gardens, creating a home that feels both characterful and exceptionally practical for everyday family life. The current owners have renovated and refurbished both the house and cottage over the years and both are immaculately presented.

At the heart of the house is the magnificent dining hall, with its timbered walls and ceilings and large open fireplace with stone surround. It is an impressive yet wonderfully homely space, providing access to the principal rooms of the house. The oak panelled drawing room is elegant and inviting, while the kitchen is very much the heart of the home, with a large inglenook fireplace, four oven AGA and flagstone floor. Beyond the kitchen is an excellent family room, providing a relaxed space for everyday living, children or entertaining. The ground floor also includes a useful utility room, pantry and cloakroom, while the rear hallway provides access to the extensive cellars and the original staircase to the first floor.

Upstairs, the accommodation is particularly well suited to family life. The magnificent vaulted principal bedroom occupies the eastern end of the house and sits alongside a large family bathroom. There are three further bedrooms, a first-floor sitting room and an additional family bathroom, providing plenty of flexibility for children, guests and working from home.

The Cottage
The adjoining cottage is a particularly versatile addition to the property. It can be accessed directly from the farmhouse or independently, making it ideal for older children, extended family, guests or those wanting additional space for work or hobbies.

The cottage has a lovely kitchen/dining room with flagstone floor, a separate sitting room with a beautiful stone fireplace and direct access to the rear garden. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a large cellar providing useful additional storage. The cottage is currently incorporated into the main house but could readily be separated if required.
