Property description

Magnificently set within its own large grounds, a fine and substantial detached house in the style of a manor house enjoying an accessible semi-rural location between Medstead and Four Marks villages.

Description
This important individual home has superb generous proportions and was built in about 1995 with emphasis not only on size but also on architectural design with characteristics reminiscent of an earlier age.

Location
Millbury is one of the most substantial houses in the Lymington Bottom Road area of Medstead village and backs onto private woodland. Neighbouring properties are mainly detached of varying ages and sizes with a useful range of shops and businesses in the Lymington Retail Barn retail square together with the Mansfield Doctors Surgery and footpaths in the vicinity. This well regarded semi-rural setting is between Medstead and Four Marks villages, which both provide local shops, village schools, churches, bus services, recreational facilities and local interest clubs. Retaining its market traditions and Georgian influences, Alton's High Street is within 5.2 miles and affords major shops such as M & S and an adjacent Sainsbury's, with the station (Waterloo line) and Waitrose, Alton Convent School, Alton FE College and a sports centre within the town. Senior schools are located in Alton and Alresford with private options at Lord Wandsworth, Churcher's and St Swithun's Colleges, whilst golf courses can be found in both towns along with Four Marks. Winchester, Petersfield, Farnham and Guildford are also easily accessible.
