House For Sale £1,175,000
Description
Chute Cottage is constructed of rendered tile clad elevations under a tiled/part flat roof. It is understood to have originally been built in the 1720s and was home to the village cobbler from Victorian times. The property has been extended more recently and now offers excellent light and airy family accommodation, ideal for those working from home – with a large office separate from the main accommodation. The property benefits from double glazing and oil fired central heating with radiators. A particular feature of the property is the magnificent drawing room with fireplace, vaulted ceiling and exposed beams. The dining room is fully wood panelled with double doors to one end leading into a sitting/family room and a further door to the opposite aspect leading into the kitchen which has an adjoining extended kitchen area, utility, cloakroom, door to the integral garage and access to an excellent separate office/studio ideal for those who work or consult from home. The principal bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, there are four further double bedrooms as well as a family shower room and bathroom.
Location
The property is situated in an elevated position with far reaching views and adjoins the ancient highway where stage coaches used to pass the cottage on their way to the White Lion public house where the horses were watered and rested before their onward journey. The village of Wherwell is renowned for its many period properties and also has a church, village hall, playing fields and primary school. There are charming country walks nearby including one along an unspoilt lane to the fine old Victorian church, and another across a long footbridge to The Common and neighbouring village of Chilbolton. The nearby town of Andover offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to London (Waterloo) in a little over an hour. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country, and the cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are approximately 20 minutes and 30 minutes distant respectively.
