Church Path, Titchfield Village

Situated within the heart of this most sought after village, tucked away along a single track lane, a stunning, deceptively spacious character cottage set in generous, private gardens and benefiting from ample driveway parking and a double garage, which is a rarity for the village.

This is an exciting opportunity to acquire a stunning period cottage with glorious character features throughout its 2800 square feet of accommodation situated in the heart of this conservation village and having been the subject of extensive updating works by my clients since their ownership in 2011. The property is approached via a five barred gate leading to an area of extensive block paved parking and in turn to the double garage. A pretty flagstone terrace and porch lead into the property. The reception space really is impressive with high, painted beamed ceilings; there are five reception rooms allowing complete flexibility with their use. There is a substantial Reception Hall with parquet flooring, this is open to a generous Sitting Room with exposed painted brickwork and panelled walls and a feature electric fireplace. The adjacent Study, we understand, was formally a stable with the stable door still in situ externally. This room was beautifully renovated by my clients with vaulted ceiling and fitted shelves and low-level cupboards. The Dining Room, situated off the Sitting Room, centres on a log burning stove, with tiled flooring, part panelled walls. French doors lead to the beautiful gardens. The Breakfast Room has beautiful, original quarry tiled flooring and a fireplace (currently blocked off), from here is a hidden second staircase leading to the first floor, the adjacent Kitchen is stunning, extensive in size, fitted with a range of shaker cupboards with granite worktops, filter tap and a range of appliances, including a gas fired Rayburn. There is also a larder cupboard and further shelved cupboard. This is open to the Utility Room and Garden Room. The Garden Room is gorgeous with vaulted ceiling and double doors leading to the garden. A Cloakroom completes the ground floor. On the first floor are four bedrooms; the Principal Bedroom has a lobby area with fitted shelves, a generous ensuite bathroom with separate shower and a large dual aspect double bedroom. The remaining three bedrooms are all of double proportions and all bedrooms have wardrobe cupboards fitted. There is also a Family Bathroom which is split level. Outside the gardens are a particular feature to the property offering complete privacy and substantial in size, with the whole plot extending to 0.30 of an acre in total. There is an abundance of mature shrubs and trees with the remainder laid to lawn. A substantial flagstone terrace is situated immediately to the rear of the property. There is also a pretty summer house.

The property is situated within easy level walking distance of the villages range of amenities which include, convenience stores, hairdressers, jewellers and wine garden, butchers, post office, take away, pubs, cafe, doctors surgery and a church. The village is conveniently located for the excellent A/M27 road networks and for public transport links with bus stops in the village and train stations at Fareham and Southampton Parkway; the latter with links to London Waterloo in under an hour. Sailing enthusiasts will be drawn to the close proximity to Hill Head beach and The Solent as well as the River Hamble with its world renown sailing facilities. Nature lovers will enjoy the proximity to Titchfield Haven, some 369 acres of woodland and natural wetlands offering a wide variety of wildlife and birdlife.
