previous price £375,000

A beautiful grade two listed two bedroom cottage steeped in character and history, set in a quintessentially English village street in the heart of Bishops Waltham, and offered with no forward chain.

The property is believed to have originally been part of a medieval hall dating back to the 1400's, and subsequently converted to a cottage in the late 1700's. Inside, the exposed wooden beams give an indication of this wonderful home's early life and add considerable charm.

The accommodation has been improved by the current owner and is very comfortable and well presented. A large sitting/dining room includes a brick built fireplace, and leads through to the modern, cottage style kitchen. A conservatory extension with glass roof provides a very useful utility area to the rear with further storage and a butler sink. Upstairs are two bedrooms, the main bedroom featuring a vaulted ceiling showing the original roof beams. The modern bathroom suite is nicely tiled in a period style.

To the rear of the property there is a small courtyard garden, perfect for an al fresco meal, with a wide pathway leading to a garage, which lends itself to a variety of uses. The current owner also leases a car parking space at the front of the property at the rate of £30 per month, which can be continued by any new owner.

Bishop's Waltham is a small historic town situated at the head of the River Hamble and surrounded by many villages. It is home to the ruins of Bishop's Waltham Palace, an English Heritage monument and a variety of convenient shops and traditional inns. The historic city of Winchester is only a short drive away, offering many impressive features and famous attractions. The Hampshire Bowman Public House, which has an excellent local reputation for its fine ales and food, is also close by.
