House For Sale £725,000
A picture postcard two bedroom thatched cottage believed to date from the 16th century, set in the middle of the village of Easton, close to Winchester. The cottage is brimming with character features including an inglenook fireplace with a bread oven. There is a large rear garden and a pretty front cottage garden, as well as driveway parking and a garage. The cottage is being sold in conjunction with the next door property, Goffs Oak, allowing the opportunity for the pair to be bought together and combined into one dwelling.
The cottage is approached across the pretty front garden, with the front door opening into the spacious beamed living room, from where stairs ascend to the first floor. There is a storage cupboard under the stairs, but the main feature of the room is the charming inglenook fireplace with its attached original bread oven. A door leads through to the kitchen, which has a range of fitted storage cupboards and worktops, integrated appliances, a wall-mounted gas boiler and door to the garden.
Upstairs, there is a small landing with a loft access hatch and door to the bathroom. The main bedroom houses the airing cupboard and hot water tank. The second bedroom is accessed through the dressing room/third bedroom and has fitted wardrobes as well as a view of the garden.
As well as the pretty cottage garden to the front, there is driveway parking for two cars and a garage with an up-and-over door. The attractive rear garden features a paved terrace seating area and a large lawned garden, which dog-legs to the rear of Goffs Oak. There is a summer house and garden shed. Please note that Goffs Oak and Broom Cottage are in the same ownership and the properties are available to buy either individually, or as a pair. The fencing between the two cottages has temporarily been removed. The boundary runs between the posts.
