4 bedroom detached house for sale

A pretty detached cottage which is believed to date from the early 18th century which is not listed and has been altered and extended to create a comfortable and charming period home. There are many period features including some exposed oak beams and a working fireplace in the drawing room. The very well presented accommodation has recently been upgraded and enhanced by the vendors, including the fitting of a new kitchen and bathrooms, as well as creating a fourth bedroom and stripping back the original timbers. The accommodation includes an elegant sitting room, which is currently split into two distinct areas with a focus around the fireplace at one end, as well as another seating area ideal for capturing a quiet moment to read. From the sitting room a step leads up to an atmospheric dining room with high level windows from which you can access the kitchen, leading through to the utility room with door to the rear gardens. Located just off the entrance hall is the study and cloakroom. A staircase leads to a panelled first floor landing with decorative arches. The master bedroom has an en-suite shower room and there are 3 further bedrooms and family bathroom. Both bathrooms have been refurbished in the last 3 years.

The entrance to the drive is partly shared but has its own turning area, with private parking for two cars. The gardens are accessed from here through an arched gate. One is immediately struck by a beautiful magnolia tree and well tended gardens with steps continuing down to the house through landscaped terrace gardens with an abundance of colour. There are numerous seating areas ideal for summer entertaining. On the northern side of the house is a level area of lawn with raised beds, shed and formal flower and shrub borders with several mature fruit trees.

Located in a lovely location within th popular village of Lodsworth.
