Well that idyllic dream could become a reality now that the Oast House is available on the market.

It also has a large spring-fed fishing lake – where a 6lb pound trout was caught in 2018.

The property itself comes with three double bedrooms, two en suite bath/shower rooms, vaulted drawing room, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room with Aga.

The two holiday let cottages, called Pheasant Loft and Swallows Rest, are popular and provide an established income stream,but also can be occupied by seasonal workers.

Andrew Bays, of BCM in Winchester, said: ‘Opportunities such as The Oast House rarely appear on the open market.

‘It is in one of the most stunning parts of southern England that is steeped in history.

‘The views from the house and land are some of the finest in Hampshire and far-reaching in parts. It is a uniquely beautiful and tranquil location, ideal for anyone with countryside and nature interests.

‘The land has level large grazing paddocks to the north of the farm and then slopes down in a southerly direction to more traditional paddocks with interspersed lakes.

‘The steep wooded hangers with valley fields below lend themselves to game shooting; a quality shoot has operated over the land for many years in tandem with neighbours. The sporting rights are in hand.

‘The current owner has diversified into a number of non-farming income streams and there is further potential for equestrian or polo while the lower land has been grazed for cattle, sheep, and horses. The spring-fed lakes provide fishing or holiday / leisure opportunities.’
