Upper Froyle, Alton, GU34

Forming one of a pair of delightful cottages and adjoining open farmland, this charming home has been sensitively updated – including wooden-framed double-glazed windows (in 2023) and a re-tiled roof (in 2024) – while carefully preserving its period character. The cottage showcases an abundance of original features, such as an Inglenook fireplace in the sitting room, exposed beams and traditional latch doors, creating a home full of warmth and character.

The accommodation is both versatile and inviting. A spacious sitting room enjoys fine views across the garden, while a highly adaptable basement offers scope for a dining room, study, hobby room or additional reception space. The kitchen is fitted with a Belfast sink, a gas-fired range cooker and a range of cream fronted eye and base level cabinets, blending practicality with classic style.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom on the ground floor with a white suite comprising a bath with shower over, basin and WC.

The garden is a very special feature of the property and enjoys a wonderful open aspect adjoining farmland and a picturesque setting.
