Church Street, Micheldever, Winchester, Hampshire

Wisteria Cottage is a stunning example of a village
chocolate box cottage. Thought to date back to the 17th Century, Wisteria Cottage offers a wealth of character features which have undergone a schedule of works to restore and return the cottage to its original guise.

The home is approached by a path to a covered porch with a stable door leading into the main reception room with its impressive, exposed beam ceiling. The current owners have restored the inglenook fireplace and added a cosy log burner to make this a charming reception room. There is also space for a dining area and bespoke cupboards either side of the fireplace offer useful storage.

This room in turn leads to the versatile kitchen with a range of units offering excellent storage. Base and eye-level units on both sides of the kitchen as well as a gas hob, electric oven and grill as well as space for a dishwasher, tall fridge-freezer and washing machine.The kitchen also leads to a well-appointed bathroom with a bath and shower over, as well as wash hand basin with storage.

To the first floor are two good sized bedrooms, both with windows overlooking the glorious gardens. The principal bedroom is of excellent proportions and has good built in storage and a charming Victorian fireplace which the current owners have restored.

The home has full central heating, powered by LPG gas bottles. The home also benefits from secondary glazing which has made a huge difference to the home's energy efficiency. There is also underfloor heating in the kitchen and bathroom should you wish to use it.

The home is set within magical gardens. Across from the home is the incredible main garden where there is ample space for chickens, as the current owners have had in the past, as well as a vegetable bed and fruit cage. The borders and flower beds are well stocked and established offering a variety of shrubs and wildflowers. The current owners have spent a lot of time and energy to create an idyllic haven and different spots offer shade and sunshine in abundance.

Within this area of the garden there is a useful shed as well as two greenhouses and a wildlife pond.

The home has access from the private lane to a
driveway and parking area as well as from Church
Street onto a driveway where there is a shed and
workshop as well as a further garden easily accessed from the kitchen which makes a lovely spot for alfresco dining and entertaining.
