Hattingley Road, Medstead

Plum Cottage
Plum Cottage is a generous, detached 4-bedroom house enjoying a wonderful setting on the edge of the hamlet of Hattingley, surrounded by open countryside. The house requires modernisation but features comfortable and well-arranged accommodation which is ideal for family living and offers a superb opportunity for someone to create an excellent home.

Leading off the entrance hall, which features Parque flooring, is the large kitchen and breakfast room, with double doors into the conservatory. This is a very good space which has great potential to become a wonderful kitchen, dining and living room opening out into the garden. There is a cosy sitting room to the front of the house with wood burning stove, a study and further good size reception room with double doors into the garden. Downstairs WC and shower room. The ground floor is versatile and there is excellent scope for remodelling to create room for modern country living.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms. The main bedroom has built in cupboards, study/dressing room and en suite bathroom. There are magnificent country views from this bedroom. Bedroom 2 is another double bedroom with superb views to the back. Bedrooms 3 and 4 are also good bedrooms with rural views. There is a family bath and shower room which has been recently refitted.

Outside

Plum Cottage sits within a very pleasant and private garden which is laid to lawn and open at the back, looking onto the surrounding fields. There is also a double garage and workshop alongside the house and parking at the front.

The Lodge

Adjacent to Plum Cottage is The Lodge, which currently provides excellent ancillary accommodation. It could, subject to the necessary consents, also be incorporated into the holiday let business. The Lodge is a mobile home which has been clad in wood, giving an attractive façade. The spacious interior features kitchen and dining area, sitting room with wood burning stove and wooden flooring. There are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

Holiday Lodge Business

Currently trading under the name 'Little Place in the Country', the two holiday lets are a unique, rustic and wonderful experience. Set in the grounds alongside a small area of woodland, the lodges enjoy a beautiful and secluded position with breath taking views across the countryside. Both lodges have been arranged around a central garden area, looking out across the fields to give a completely private setting.

The business has been trading now for a number of years and is extremely well established, with regular bookings throughout the year. This is an incredible opportunity for someone wising to acquire a thriving business and the ability to live and work from home.
