House For Sale £885,000
The property has a fascinating history having been recognised as a 'Hampshire Treasure' and originally believed to have been a coachman’s cottage with an adjoining barn. The existing owners have carefully improved and enhanced the cottage and created a very welcoming family home whilst retaining all of the period charm with exposed beams, fireplaces and slate tile floors. The generous and flexible living accommodation includes a spacious sitting room, dining room and family room as well as a cosy 'snug' area. The family room is a very flexible space that could be utilised for a number of different purposes and extends to 19'5 / 5.93m with French doors opening out to the garden. A further external door allows for separate access to this room as well enabling use as a separate home office, if required. The living accommodation is beautifully complemented by a recently fitted 'Searle and Taylor' bespoke kitchen (2020). The kitchen is fitted with a range of light dove grey fronted cabinets and pan drawers together with a sink with a 'Quooker' hot water tap, marble work surfaces and Neff appliances including a four ring gas hob with extractor over, double oven, dishwasher and integrated refrigerator and freezer. A utility/boot room (with washing machine and tumble dryer) and cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. There are four bedrooms (and a useful attic room) including a principal bedroom with an adjoining dressing area and shower room. The further bedrooms are complemented by a separate bathroom with a roll top bath and an en-suite shower room to bedroom four.
