Outside
Approached through solid wooden gates and set back from the road, School House is well positioned in its plot and is bordered by fencing, mature trees and beech hedging for screening. There are some beautiful specimen trees including Magnolia, Cherry and a mature Oak tree providing shade in the summer months with an established wisteria framing the gabled porch at the front. The level garden is mostly laid to lawn with feature borders, brick path, raised vegetable beds, large garden shed, log store, an attractive terrace and a courtyard to capitalise on the sunny aspect. There is a gravel parking and turning area to the front.

The property is situated in the heart of the popular village of Bentley, a charming village on the edge of rolling down land in north east Hampshire and near to Alice Holt Forest providing superb opportunities for walking, riding and cycling. Much of the surrounding countryside is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and of Great Landscape Value. Bentley has its own primary school, church, a public house, large village shop, coffee shop, Post Office and a vineyard. There is a regular bus service, connecting to Alton, Farnham and Guildford, and the village has its own railway station with regular direct trains to London Waterloo in approximately one hour.

Travel to both state and private schools in the area is possible using rail services, but importantly there are also dedicated bus services from Bentley to schools, such as Eggars, Churches, St Edmunds, Lord Wandsworth College and other schools. The property is situated off the A31 with excellent access to Guildford, Farnham, Alton and Winchester and easy access to the A3, M3 and A331.
