A rectory until 2000, Wonston House is a large brick-built detached house dating from 1931 with well-proportioned rooms offering ideal family accommodation. The majority of rooms have features of the period, which include panelled doors, fireplaces and ceiling coving. It is a particularly light house with characteristic small-paned windows, with many rooms being dual aspect.

The ground floor has three major reception rooms, all of which have views across the rear garden. The double aspect drawing room has an open fireplace and a delightful deep bay window with seat. The dining room is situated in the middle of the house with doors leading to the garden and an open fireplace. The sitting room has an open fireplace with doors leading to the loggia and garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor based units and has an adjoining utility room.

The first floor has 6 bedrooms leading off a long galleried landing, with a hatch and ladder to a large attic storage area. The principal bedroom and bedrooms 2 and 3 have views across the rear garden and all have fitted wardrobes. The two bathrooms are located at either end of the landing.

The house is approached by a tarmac driveway which leads to a garage and parking area for several vehicles. Predominately south-facing, the extensive lawned garden is immediately adjacent to the house where the current owners have built a thatched garden room (coco hut) ideal for outdoor entertaining. The house is well positioned in it's own land being surrounded on three sides by garden and fields. A variety of mature trees including Copper Beech and Ash form part of the boundary with large Yew hedges, a pair of Silver Birch trees and Beech walk, along with an orchard in other areas of the garden. The large paddock is to the North of the property and is enclosed by fencing and benefits from its own access. The main field to the South and East of the property also has its own access with hard standing.

Wonston village, which has a pub and a parish church, is set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. On its northern boundary is the River Dever, a tributary of the River Test. The Cathedral city of Winchester with its extensive range of educational, recreational and retail facilities are within easy access. Micheldever Station has a direct line to London and lies about 4 miles to the south. It is perfectly located for access onto the A34, A303, M27 and M3, giving access to London and Oxford to the north whilst to the south Southampton International Airport and the South Coast.
