High Street, Medstead, Alton, GU34 5LN

Looking For An Idyllic Setting And A Slower Pace Of Life? Move to The High Street Beech House, Medstead!

This immaculate, updated family home brings rural calm to everyday life, in a Domesday Book village with ducks on the pond and an active local community.

In Medstead, High Street life is at a gentler pace doesn’t always mean traffic and takeaway wrappers - in Medstead - it means ducks on the pond, friendly neighbours who wave and only a few footsteps to the village shop and post office.

Beech House sits right in the middle of it all, quietly set back with gated parking and room to breathe.

The nursery, school, recreation ground and local clubs are all an easy stroll away - and behind the village hall, woodland walks open out into the Downs.

It’s the sort of place where summer fairs, scout meetings and pub nights all thread together into daily life.

Inside, there’s plenty of room for everyone to do their thing without getting in each other’s way.

There’s a large sitting room with a gorgeous original fireplace, a snug or home office across the hall, and internal French doors leading to a dining room with bifolds to the back garden.

The kitchen-diner feels like the heart of the home, complete with underfloor heating, an AGA and room for both school-morning breakfast chaos and Sunday slow cooking.

A separate utility and downstairs loo keep things tidy, while storage is neatly tucked away.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms including one with a new ensuite, alongside a smaller bedroom perfect for younger kids or working from home.

A modern four-piece family bathroom, installed just two years ago, completes the layout.

Everything’s been thoughtfully improved over time - new windows, shutters, LVT flooring, fresh paintwork throughout and carpets just a couple of years old.

The loft’s insulated with lighting and ladder access, and the exterior render was repainted in January this year.

The back garden feels private and purposeful - big enough for a kickabout, small enough to keep weekends free.

There’s a paved seating area off the dining room, a neat lawn, and a firepit corner where the old decking once stood.

The fencing was replaced and painted last summer, and there’s side access from both the front and rear drives, making it easy for bikes, bins or muddy boots.

There’s also a separate gated drive to the rear leading to a carport and powered outbuilding. Re-clad and refurbished, it’s ready to become a garden office or studio.

Turns out, the High Street isn’t always fast and noisy - sometimes it’s just the right place to settle into village life and put down roots
