Crawley, Winchester, SO21

The Property:
Set in the idyllic village of Crawley, this beautiful cottage is believed to date from 1910. It has well proportioned rooms with high ceilings and has been extended with a garden room, which is open to the kitchen/dining room and has doors out into the lengthy rear garden. A sitting room has a fitted gas fire and is very cosy. On the first floor are two double bedrooms providing different aspects and a landing with a nook, suitable for a small desk/study space. There is also a refitted bathroom. The second floor has a loft conversion which creates a super third double bedroom with views over the garden towards the village cricket pitch. The windows were replaced in 2021. A lengthy rear garden stretches for approximately 150 feet and is made up of different 'rooms' that provide interest. Directly behind the cottage is a part walled terrace with raised planters, enclosed by a gate that opens into a lawned area with flower and shrub borders and a pergola. The garage has twin doors as well as a pedestrian door and is currently used as a neat gym arrangement. Beyond which is a gravelled parking for several cars (which is accessed via a shared driveway with 2-5 Post Cottages). The foot of the garden has raised vegetable beds and backs directly onto the local cricket pitch.
