Kimpton, Andover, Hampshire, SP11

A charming thatched cottage in the heart of the village.

Description

An attractive Grade II listed property dating from the late 18th century, offering light-filled rooms and good ceiling heights throughout. The south-facing sitting room and snug are bright and welcoming, featuring exposed beams and open fires. The double-aspect dining room sits adjacent to the kitchen, with a utility room and cloakroom completing the ground floor. Subject to planning consent, there may be potential to open the kitchen into the dining room to create a larger living space.

On the first floor, there are three bedrooms and a newly fitted bathroom. The third bedroom is currently used as a study. The property has been well maintained and thoughtfully updated by the current owner, who has replaced the septic tank and thatch, as well as carried out complete re-wiring and re-plumbing.

The pretty south-east-facing garden is mainly laid to lawn and planted with a variety of shrubs and fruit trees, including apple, pear, and plum. It is wonderfully private and partly walled to the south. There is also a useful garden room or home office with terrace, a single garage, and a garden store.
