House For Sale £800,000
Pepys Cottage is situated in the rural hamlet of Blounce, with stunning surrounding countryside and links between Alton and Odiham.
Upon entering through the porch, you get a sense of what a fantastic opportunity there is, to be able to put your own stamp onto this beautiful semi-detached home. The property has been well cared for and looked after by the current vendors for the last 35 years. However, the property is in need of modernisation and provides a unique opportunity to create and style a property to the incoming buyers own taste and requirements. We feel the accommodation is well planned, yet also offering the scope to extend and reconfigure, subject to the relevant building and planning consents. Set over two floors there is a kitchen, living room (with open fireplace), dining room, snug/sitting room, utility room and downstairs cloakroom on the ground floor. Upstairs, there is a family bathroom and four bedrooms; three of which are doubles and the fourth being a single. The fourth bedroom is currently being used as a study.
The property is approached via a private and secluded lane with plenty of parking. There is a garage with an inspection pit, power and lighting.
The gardens are a beautiful feature of this home with views overlooking rolling countryside to the rear of the property. The garden currently hosts a greenhouse, chicken run, vegetable patch, sheds, large paddock and a summerhouse (available via separate negotiation). With a plot of around 1.2 acres there is ample opportunity to extend (STPP).
