House For Sale £1,500,000
Introduction Situated in an idyllic location in Soberton and backing onto the village church, this beautiful, character cottage dates back to 1647 and comes with a large garden, detached double carport with guest bedroom and en-suite above, as well 2.5 acres of adjoining paddocks, suitable for equestrian use. The stunning accommodation has been extended in more recent years, yet still retains much of its charm and character including exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and wooden latched doors. The ground floor comprises a spacious 24ft kitchen/dining room, family room, sitting room with bi-folding doors, study, boot room and cloakroom. On the first floor there are four good size double bedrooms, with a large 'Jack and Jill' en-suite to the master, and two further en-suites.
Location The property is situated in a desirable location in Soberton, which is a pretty village in the heart of the Meon Valley, that forms part of the South Downs National Park and offers many lovely walks and bridleways. The property benefits from being within walking distance of the popular local pub, The White Lion, as well as a short drive from the market towns of Bishops Waltham and Wickham, which offer a broad range of shops and amenities. The Cathedral City of Winchester, market town of Petersfield (both of which have mainline railway stations) and Southampton Airport are just under half an hour away.
Inside The original main entrance is located to the side of the property which opens into the entrance hall, which has access to the cloakroom, sitting room and family room. The family room has French doors opening out to the rear garden and is full of character with an array of exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. There is a fitted cupboard and an opening leading through to a hallway, which has a window to the front, stairs leading to the first floor and a door through to the study, which has a window to the side and a built-in cupboard, housing the boiler. The good size sitting room has bi-folding doors opening onto the patio area, as well as windows to the side and rear.
The beautiful open plan kitchen/dining room is a triple aspect room with windows to the front, side and rear, as well as bi-folding doors opening out to the garden. The kitchen has been fitted with a matching range of wall and base units with a double bowl sink unit and appliance space for an aga and fridge/freezer. The central island incorporates a breakfast bar and sink unit, as well as space for a wine cooler, and a dishwasher. There is stone flooring which continues through to the dining area and a door leading through to the boot room, which has plumbing space for a washing machine, has a window to the front, a built-in cupboard, fitted units with a sink and a door to the front providing easy access to the driveway.
On the first floor, the master bedroom has windows to the front and side and a stylish en-suite comprising a freestanding roll top bath with shower attachment, walk-in shower cubicle, vanity wash hand basin, WC and underfloor heating. The en-suite can also be accessed from the fourth bedroom, which overlooks the rear garden. Bedrooms two and three both have modern en-suite shower rooms with underfloor heating and overlook the garden, with the third bedroom being a triple aspect room with additional windows to the side and rear.
Outside The property is situated on a good size plot, with a driveway to the side providing ample off road parking for several cars, leading to the detached, barn style carport which has a guest bedroom above with modern en-suite shower room. Behind the carport there is a shed and outbuilding with a WC. The good size, attractive garden is mainly laid to lawn with hedgerow borders.
