Description

Nestled at the edge of enchanting woodland owned by Winchester College, this charming 1930s detached forest cottage offers a rare opportunity to embrace a peaceful, nature-rich lifestyle—without sacrificing convenience. Set along a quiet country lane and offered with no forward chain, this characterful home blends period charm with comfortable, family-friendly living.



From the moment you arrive, the appeal is clear. There is ample off-road parking, a garage (partially converted to offer flexible storage or workspace), and a welcoming frontage that hints at the tranquillity within. Step inside and feel instantly at home: the 21ft sitting room is a warm, inviting space with lovely proportions—perfect for relaxing by the fire on winter evenings or enjoying the garden views through generous windows.

The open-plan kitchen/dining room is the heart of the home, featuring a rustic charm that suits the setting, with plenty of space for family meals, weekend baking, and effortless entertaining. A useful cloakroom/WC completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the home continues to impress with four genuine double bedrooms—ideal for a growing family or for welcoming guests—and two well-appointed bathrooms, offering both practicality and comfort.

Outside, the garden is a tranquil woodland retreat: private, peaceful, and alive with birdsong. Whether it's morning coffee under the trees or summer dining al fresco, the outdoor space invites you to slow down and connect with nature.

This is more than just a house—it’s a lifestyle. A unique blend of character, space, and serenity awaits
