Full description

A rare opportunity to purchase Church Farm a Grade II listed beautifully presented farmhouse with an abundance of original features dating back nearly 300 years. Believed to be constructed from an old ship, the Valiant, which plied the Solent in the late 1600s and whose name is stamped on one of the beams in the dining room. The ground floor consists of a spacious sitting room with original beams and a feature fire surround with wood burner. The formal dining room is the perfect room to entertain family and friends with exposed beams and an open fireplace. The farmhouse kitchen/ breakfast room has plenty of storage space, exposed beams, butler sink and tiled flooring. The ground floor also benefits from a conservatory with views across the grounds, utility room, study and cloakroom.

On the first floor, bedroom one has wardrobes and a spacious en-suite. Bedroom four is an excellent size double bedroom. The family bathroom is very spacious and has both a shower cubicle and free standing bath. Bedrooms two and three are double bedrooms with views across the gardens and both have the added benefit of secret shower and WC facilities. On the second floor there are an additional two double bedrooms.

The grounds are truly spectacular and are set on approx. just under an acre which consists of flower beds, mature shrubs, trees, pond, orchard, patio areas and laid to lawn. The farm house also has a granary which would make a great guest house or office, this has been carefully restored by the current owners. There is also a double garage/carport and a large gravel drive offering ample parking. Church Farm really needs to be viewed so you can truly appreciate the beautiful character this home has to offer along with its idyllic location.

Why live in Hayling Island?

Hayling Island is a delightful 12-square mile area of land that’s completely surrounded by the sea and can only be accessed by the road bridge from Langstone. It’s is an absolute mecca for watersports – windsurfing was invented here and we have miles of glorious, safe beaches that are made for seaside activities, including sailing, power boating, jet skiing and beach volleyball.

Beachlands beach has received the international Blue Flag award every year for the past 25 years and is the perfect spot to while away the hours looking over the Solent with a fish and chip supper.

We’re well served by shops across the island’s three main villages of Mengham, West Town and Eastoke Corner and have five schools on the Island, including infant, junior and secondary schools. There’s plenty to keep the children busy outside school hours too with the Funland Amusement Park at Beachlands, the Hayling Seaside Railway that runs from Beachlands to Eastoke Corner and the adiZone Outdoor Gym at Eastoke that has all kinds of free equipment for youngsters to use.

There are two pay and play golf courses here and, at the Seacourt Tennis Club, members can play real tennis on one of the few remaining real tennis courts in the world. You’ll also find a wide selection of restaurants, cafés and takeaways, including the award winning Brasserie Restaurant in the Langstone Hotel.
