House For Sale £850,000
A stunning example of a Grade II listed three bedroom character cottage. We understand the property originally formed part of the attached Exton Rectory and dates to circa 1810 - 1820. The house has elegant and well proportioned accommodation throughout which has been improved and modernised in recent years by the current owners. Inside there is still tremendous potential to enhance and develop subject to the relevant consents. The accommodation is superbly presented and is a wonderful blend of original charm and modern living, and features an impressive living room with feature bay window to the front and with an open marble fireplace with inset wood burning stove. The ground floor also includes a separate dining room and a cottage style kitchen leading to the useful larder. To the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms, all of which are good sized doubles. The main bedroom offers lovely views over local farm and the South downs land to the front, and are all serviced by a modern family bathroom. Externally the property is approached via Church Lane and is accessed via a private shared lane/drive which leads to The Old House. The front garden is bordered by mature shrubs and hedging and is laid to lawn with planting. The gravel driveway leads to the attached garage, with access door leading to the rear garden. The attractive rear cottage garden is mainly laid to lawn with borders and has an established back drop. There is a paved patio area and steps that then lead up to the rest of the garden which is mainly laid to lawn and again well-stocked with a variety of selectively planted flowers and shrubs.<br /><br />The village of Exton is ideally situated and only minutes away from the neighbouring market towns of Bishops Waltham, Wickham and Petersfeld, all of which offer a broad range of shops and amenities, the Cathedral City of Winchester and Southampton Airport are also just under half an hour away, with all main motorway access routes also being within easy reach.
