About this property

  • Set amidst approximately 2.3 acres of gardens, paddocks and grounds in a sought-after semi-rural location, this delightful country cottage enjoys wonderful views over the surrounding countryside and offers a rare combination of character, land and versatility.

    The property is further enhanced by a substantial triple garage with mezzanine storage, a detached studio and additional paddock land opposite, making it ideally suited to equestrian, lifestyle or home-working requirements.

    The property combines period charm with practical family living. An entrance hall leads to a dual-aspect sitting and dining room, a welcoming space featuring a fireplace and enjoying attractive views over the gardens. The well-proportioned kitchen overlooks the grounds and is complemented by a useful boot room and ground floor shower room.

    On the first floor are three bedrooms, including two with built-in storage, served by a family bathroom.

    A particular feature of the property is the excellent range of outbuildings. The impressive oak-framed triple garage provides extensive storage, workshop potential and a mezzanine level, while the detached studio offers a highly adaptable space suited to a home office, hobbies, fitness room or creative pursuits.

    Outside, the mature gardens are beautifully established with areas of lawn, well-stocked planting and a terrace ideal for outdoor entertaining. Beyond, the adjoining paddock and additional field opposite extend the grounds to approximately 2.3 acres, creating an exceptional environment for those with equestrian interests, livestock or simply a desire for space and countryside living.

    Enjoying a delightful rural outlook yet remaining conveniently placed for nearby villages, local amenities and transport links, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a character home with extensive grounds and superb ancillary accommodation.

I particularly love that Alice Holt Forest is just a short hack away, and that views over the paddock can be enjoyed from both the sitting/dining room and the principal bedroom.
