Situated in the heart of Fareham's conservation area adjacent to St. Peters and St. Paul's church, a stunning Grade II listed cottage with just over 1500 square foot of exquisite accommodation, meticulously maintained by the current owners.

Very rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire such an impressive home; 1 church Place has been owned by my clients for 18 years and during their period of ownership they have sympathetically extended and upgraded the property. This much loved cottage exudes character from the moment you enter with a perfect mix of contemporary and character features. There are two delightful reception rooms, both focusing on log burning stoves and with great storage too. A door from the Sitting Room leads down to the cellar offering more storage. The Kitchen/Dining room is particularly glorious, split level and dual aspect with part glazed doors leading to the delightful gardens with limestone floor and fitted with a Neptune kitchen with quartz worktops and double butler's sink. There is also a Rangemaster range cooker with induction hob. Upstairs are four bedrooms, three of which are of double proportions with Bedrooms 1 & 2 benefiting from fitted wardrobe cupboards. There is an ensuite Shower Room to Bedroom 1 and a Family Bathroom. Outside, the rear garden is completely walled, split level with flagstone terraces and raised, perfectly manicured beds with an olive and white lilac tree. There is also a workshop and adjacent garden store. There are two outside taps and power. A pedestrian gate leads to the front.

Fareham is an old market town equidistant between the beautiful villages of Wickham and Titchfield both offering glorious countryside walks. The High Street in Fareham is home to its earliest development well known for its Georgian architecture and which is now a protected conservation area. The town is superbly located with a new state of art theatre and provides everything you could want for family life, work and leisure. The town offers a railway station, bus station and has easy links to the M27; these are all located just a mile from the property. There is an outstanding Primary school, three secondary schools serving the town and also Fareham College of Further Education. Fareham Creek is a local beauty spot providing lovely trail walks and is popular with kayakers and SUP enthusiasts. Additionally, Fareham Leisure Centre is nearby and also Cams Hall Estate Golf Course with both 9-and 18-hole courses. There are plenty of restaurants and brasseries in the centre of the town and there is also a large Tesco and Sainsbury's superstore as well as local amenities.
