Tower Hill Farm, Dummer, Basingstoke, Hampshire, RG25

Tower Hill Farm is a Grade II Listed farmhouse, dating back we understand to the seventeenth century. It has had an interesting history with part of it being a dairy and the other the Estate laundry. There is a wealth of character throughout the house with exposed beams, timbers and brickwork and open fireplaces.

The dual aspect drawing room features a lovely Inglenook fireplace with a brick Jetmaster fire and log store whilst the dining room also has a fireplace (currently not in use) and built in display cupboards and shelving. The sitting room (formally the laundry) has numerous exposed beams and a door out into the garden. At the heart of the house is the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room designed by Mark Wilkinson. There is an extensive range of painted units and integrated appliances including dishwasher, oven, fridge, gas hob and a two oven Aga.

The former Granary has been converted by the current owners into part of the living accommodation and makes an ideal family room/hobbies room or a further bedroom. Completing the downstairs accommodation there is a utility room with a walk in larder, downstairs shower room and a cloakroom.

On the first floor the dual aspect main bedroom enjoys views over the garden and benefits from built in wardrobes and a door into the dressing room/bedroom 4. The second beamed bedroom has an en suite shower room and built in wardrobe. There is a further double bedroom with a basin and built in wardrobe. There is a separate family bathroom.

Tower Hill Farm is approached via an initially shared drive leading to a five bar gate and giving access to a large gravel driveway. The detached Grade II listed timber framed barn is recorded as dating back to the eighteenth century and is currently used as a garage and storage.

The garden is a particular feature of the property and has been stunningly and cleverly landscaped. The cottage style formal garden is mostly laid to lawn with well stocked herbaceous borders, flower beds, a lovely rose walk and a herb garden creating a colourful environment. There are numerous mature shrubs and trees as well as a flagstone patio outside the drawing room enjoying views down the garden and a small arboretum.

To the rear of the house there is a kitchen garden with a greenhouse, a large productive vegetable patch and a fruit cage full of strawberries, raspberries and gooseberries. Outside the dining room steps lead down to the cellar.

The current owners planted the orchard with numerous fruit trees including varieties of plums, apples, pears, greengage, quince and medlar.

The rest of the garden approximately 3.4 acres is woodland, planted in 1997 by the current owners, with pathways through. There is potential for a pony paddock, and there are lovely views over the neighbouring farmland from the edge of the wood.
