overviewGreat Crabthorn Pages.indd 3 08/05/2015 16:36

This imposing detached Farm House sits centrally on an established plot and

gardens which extend to approximately 0.62 of an acre, with two vehicular

gateways from the Old Street. Having good sized front and side gardens,

a driveway, ample off road car parking and a garage as well as a courtyard

garden, the extensive accommodation offers over 5377 sq.ft. of living

space with eight bedrooms, two bathrooms, five reception areas, a kitchen

with walk-in pantry as well as an attached two bedroom three storey self

contained cottage. Although this has been a family house for many years, its

accommodation can easily be adapted to suit many uses and is large enough

to accommodate offices for those working from home without encroaching

on family accommodation.

It has accommodation for staff, a potential rental income or could easily suit

families with teenage children who could live in a separate cottage and have

their own independence. What can only be described as a rare gem, Great

Crabthorn has been in the ownership of the current residents for over 40

years and is a truly impressive and very aesthetically pleasing home, both

externally and internally. With origins dating back to the 17th Century; there

is some painted wooden panelling, exposed brick walls and fireplaces, tiled

flooring and even three Inglenook fireplaces, in the reception area, dining

room and sitting room.

From the formal receptions rooms, the first floor primary bedrooms and the

top floor, there are far reaching views towards the River Meon, the Nature

Reserve and the Solent. For those needing to commute, nearby Fareham

Station offers regular services to London, Brighton and the West, however,

Parkway Station only 13.4 miles away, offers train services to London with a

journey time of 1 hour and 5 minutes. There are excellent independent and
