Bighton, Alresford, SO24

The Property:

Oak Cottage is a delightful period ‘long cottage’ behind a red brick façade with inset casement windows, under a clay tiled roof to the front, and a brick and flint rear elevation. Most of the rooms are double aspect creating a lovely light and bright feel. The sitting room has an open fireplace and French doors that open into the garden. The kitchen/dining room is fitted with a range of hand painted units with integrated appliances and space for a table. There is a utility room and boot room. The first floor has a principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom; there are three further bedrooms and a shower room.

Outside, the property is approached by a brick path to the front door with a low-level hedge and planted borders. A five-bar gate opens onto a gravel driveway that provides plenty of parking and accesses the timber double garage, stables and store/tack room. The gardens are a delight; there is a terrace directly behind the house with a shaped brick and flint wall with steps that graduate onto the lawn, with flower and shrub beds and several lovely trees. The rear garden backs onto open farmland and the garden faces south.
