Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire this spacious late Victorian chalet style home offering great scope and potential standing in about 4 acres on the outskirts of Stockbridge with a south westerly aspect and open far reaching views

An individual detached chalet style residence built in the late 1890s to take advantage of this hill top setting on the edge of Stockbridge offering fabulous open views to the south over rolling farmland and countryside. The spacious accommodation features large rooms, high ceilings, big windows (some original sash), deep skirting boards and other period features. The property stands in about 2 acres of mature garden with wild areas and with an additional 2 acre paddock. Fern cottage is not Listed and sits just outside the conservation area - there is tremendous scope to modernise, reconfigure and substantially extend this property subject to planning consent.

Fern Cottage has an elevated rural setting on the south east edge of Stockbridge just off the road that leads to King's Somborne. If you walk a short distance down the main road there is a cut leading to the Test Way and directly to the High Street. Stockbridge is the heart of the Test Valley and offers a variety of shops including a delicatessen, post office, hotel, public houses, wine bar, restaurant, churches, doctors surgery, regular bus services, primary and secondary schools. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester and the abbey town of Romsey are all within a 20 minute drive, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country. There are also mainline railway stations in Winchester and Andover (both about 15 minutes drive away) as well as Grateley (about 10 minutes drive) with fast trains to Waterloo.
