House For Sale £725,000
DESCRIPTION
A detached Grade II Listed characterful cottage with many period features including an exposed internal framework understood to date back to the 1600s. The accommodation comprises an attractive sitting room with fireplace and adjoining dining area, large split level living room, kitchen/breakfast room and rear hall with cloakroom and storage area. Two staircases rise to the first floor where there are four good size bedrooms and two bathrooms. For those with young families there is a connecting door that links bedrooms 2 and 4. Outside the property has the benefit of a gated driveway and large detached double garage with loft room above (an ideal work space or teenager’s room) and an adjoining workshop/single garage. There is scope to extend and develop this outbuilding for ancillary use (subject to planning consent). The well enclosed garden is level and has the benefit of a westerly aspect.
LOCATION
The property is situated in the village of St Mary Bourne, renowned for its many period houses and cottages and the surrounding undulating countryside. The village has a primary school, doctor’s surgery, church, modern village hall, a Post Office and shop, as well as two public houses. An excellent rail service to Waterloo is available from Whitchurch, about three miles distant. The nearby towns of Andover (about five miles) and Newbury also offer fast mainline rail services to Waterloo and Paddington respectively, together with a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The cathedral city of Winchester is approximately twenty minutes’ drive away. The A34 and A303 roads and M3 and M4 motorways are all within easy reach.
