A character home in the heart of the conservation area in the centre of Alresford. The property is located next to the historic Norman Bridge at the bottom of Broad Street. An interesting feature of this unique and delightful property is the mill stream, which runs under the bridge and alongside the property and garden. There is a useful garage located in Mill Hill, which is just a minute's walk way from the property.
Chestnut Cottage is approached via a wrought iron gate, with the front door opening to the welcoming sitting room, which has a wood-burning stove in a brick surround. To the left is the characterful dining room, with a window looking towards Broad Street. Stairs lead down to the kitchen, with a door to the garden. There is a utility space with a cloakroom and door to the cellar. Part of the cellar abuts the Norman bridge and is a listed as a scheduled ancient monument.
Stairs from the sitting room lead up to a bathroom on a half-landing, and then up again up to a landing, where there are two double bedrooms, one of which has built-in wardrobes. A further set of stairs leads up to the attic, where there are two useful attic rooms.
To the rear of the property is a small courtyard area, leading to a lawned garden which is bordered by the stream. The garden tapers off at the end, where there is a greenhouse and a lovely view of the stream. The owners of No. 1 The Soke have a right of way through a passageway to the right of the property.
Alresford is a beautiful Georgian town known for its variety of independent shops, restaurants and inns located in stunning surroundings on the edge of the South Downs National Park. Attractions include the Watercress steam railway, schools for infant, junior and secondary education, several churches and an active and inclusive community.
