Description
A picturesque detached Grade II listed period cottage, constructed of cob elevations beneath a thatched roof with a later rear extension beneath slate. The cosy and characterful accommodation comprises a dual aspect sitting room with fireplace and log burning stove, good size separate dining hall, also with fireplace and former bread oven (not in use). There is also a long kitchen/breakfast room with small utility/boiler room on the ground floor. To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside there is off-road parking for two to three cars diagonally opposite the cottage. The main garden comprises a generous raised terrace with tiled gazebo, ideal for entertaining. Attractive views are enjoyed from the front of the cottage over the roof tops and Test Valley.
The property is situated in the sought after village of Chilbolton which has a post office/store, church, village hall and public house. A second public house The Mayfly sits on the banks of the River Test. There are many excellent walks to West down and Chilbolton Common – a Designated Area of Special Scientific Interest and a renowned local beauty spot. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge, some four miles distant. Andover, also four miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are about a 15 and 25 minute drive away respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
