House For Sale £1,125,000
Nestled in a private location, less than a mile away from the High Street at Stockbridge and with uninterrupted views over open countryside, Wallgarden Cottage was originally the gardener's cottage forming part of the North Houghton Manor estate and sits, as the name suggests, within a walled garden. The majority of the rooms in the property are facing south with views over the garden, this property is wonderfully light and has been laid out to create flexible accommodation with the potential for a self-contained annexe. The property requires modernisation and has the potential to be a wonderful family home.
The center of the cottage is believed to date back to the 15th century and is constructed in brick and flint and retains the original beams and fireplaces inside as well as oak flooring in the original upstairs bedrooms. On each side of the central cottage, the house has been extended with rooms offering substantial proportions.
On the ground floor is a large, triple aspect drawing room with a west facing bow window, sliding doors to the garden and an open fire. In the oldest part of the building there is a reception hall/dining room with stairs to the first floor and a door to the cosy sitting room which also has a large open fire and enjoys southerly views through the bow window. In the eastern extension there is a large kitchen/breakfast room with sliding doors to the terrace and garden. There is a beautifully light third reception room complete with wood burning stove and views over the garden and terrace. Additionally, there is a further large room that has been used as a bedroom in the past as well as a bathroom and a utility room.
On the first floor there is a double bedroom leading in turn to a Jack and Jill bathroom which connects in turn to a further double bedroom at the western end of the house. Accessed from the landing is a family bathroom which serves the further two bedrooms on this level with the furthest bedroom joining a substantial attic space which runs the entire length of the eastern extension providing scope/opportunity for a master bedroom suite with exceptional views.
The property is approached via a gravel drive sweeping down to the house past the west paddock. There is a large garage currently used as stables, with scope for conversion to a garden room stepping down into the walled garden. To the rear of the property is the private south-facing walled garden complete with spring fed water feature. Outside the garden there is parking for several cars as well as a stream that ultimately feeds into the River Test.
