Description:

The Old Rectory sits in the rolling countryside of the Candover Valley and represents a wonderful opportunity to own a country house within glorious grounds. The property, which is believed to have originally been a rectory, dates back to the 18th century and has recently undergone a stunning refurbishment by the current owners. The majority of the rooms have lovely views of gardens and beyond over the rolling hills of the surrounding Candover valley countryside. There are a wealth of period features together with modern touches. In particular is the new installed elegant kitchen, and the creation of a spacious family room/cinema room. The hamlet of Swarraton and adjoining Northington lie in glorious countryside at the southern end of the Candover valley which is justifiably popular and represent what is finest about the Hampshire countryside.
