House For Sale £825,000
This beautiful thatched period cottage is perfectly positioned near the centre of the village on a quiet lane close by the village post office and just a short walk to The White Hart inn and St Peters Church.
The property has been carefully restored and maintained by the current owners and is offered to the market in excellent condition. This detached house was a farmer’s cottage some 300 years ago and was extended in the 1960s to create a spectacular family home, with further additions by the current owners of a double garage, garden room and separate building at the bottom of the garden perfectly suited to being used as a home office.
From the lane, through the hardwood electric gates, the property benefits from a gravel driveway with ample parking and the recent addition of an electric car charging point. Upon entering the home, you will find the large sitting room with a central multi-fuel/log burning stove, exposed wood beams and beautiful uncovered flint-stone wall. The newer half of the ground floor offers a formal dining room with original parquet flooring and a bespoke solid oak kitchen with granite worktops and integrated Miele appliances. The kitchen leads through to an oak framed garden room, a flexible space with under-floor heating that could be used as an additional sitting room or home office with direct views and access to the garden.
The upper floor of the cottage offers three double bedrooms all with bespoke built in storage and an additional single bedroom currently utilised as a dressing room. There is also a family shower room, a further family bathroom, a laundry cupboard complete with plumbing for washing machine and tumble drier plus an extra w/c with access to further storage.
Outside, the garden has been cleverly designed to offer flexible multi-use areas such as a covered dining area, a traditional kitchen garden and two separate areas laid to lawn. One of the more recent additions to the outside space is a hand-built brick clay oven perfect for al-fresco entertaining. In the rear gardens there are three substantial sheds and a greenhouse as well as an outside home office complete with separate w/c. In the past three years the cottage has been re-thatched and the oil-fired boiler and oil tank replaced. The property also benefits from electronically controlled heating and hot water and is fitted with a centrally monitored burglar alarm and smoke detectors.
Situated in the picturesque village of Over Wallop and set amid glorious Hampshire countryside within the Test valley and close to the border with Wiltshire. It is approximately 5 miles northwest of Stockbridge which is a quintessentially English town with a thriving town centre of wonderful shops, a traditional inn, restaurants and a network of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding in the surrounding countryside. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are approximately 12 and 16 miles away respectively and both have a more comprehensive range of shops, bars and restaurants. Road and rail connections are excellent with Grateley railway station located only 2 miles away with direct access to London Waterloo and the A30, A303 and A36 are also easily accessible; Southampton Airport offers both national and international flights. Schooling is typically outstanding, the local catchment schools are Wallop Primary School and Test Valley School. Independent schools include Norman Court (West Tytherley), Chafyn Grove, Salisbury Cathedral School and Godolphin School (Salisbury) plus The Pilgrims’ School, Winchester College and St. Swithun’s School (Winchester). Coast and country lifestyle pursuits are catered for as the South Downs National Park, The New Forest, Jurassic Coast and the West Country are within striking distance.
