Horsebridge Road, Broughton, Stockbridge, Hampshire, SO20

A semi detached 16th century cottage, a particularly beautiful building featuring some immensely impressive and characterful rooms with a private south westerly facing garden quietly situated on the edge of this highly sought after village.

A charming linked Grade II Listed period cottage forming part of a former farmhouse, featuring beautiful exposed beams and surprisingly spacious, well lit rooms with generously proportioned windows. The property benefits from a south westerly facing rear garden, a double carport, and an attractive edge of village setting with direct access to extensive countryside walks. Planning permission TVBC 24/01000/LBWS has been granted to demolish two small extensions and create a significantly larger ground floor, including a spacious kitchen breakfast room with glass doors to the garden, a separate utility room, and a new principal front entrance. The existing kitchen will be reconfigured to provide a boot room, ground floor shower room, and a proper staircase to the third bedroom, which is currently accessed via the second bedroom through a low doorway or by a ladder staircase, representing a substantial improvement to the layout and overall functionality of the cottage.

The property is situated in the village of Broughton which offers everyday amenities including a Community Post Office/store, doctors’ surgery, village hall, church, public house, community pub and a primary school. There is excellent walking in the surrounding countryside with access onto the Clarendon Way and Broughton Down. The picturesque town of Stockbridge is about 4 miles away and provides a range of shops, hotels, restaurants, churches and a secondary school. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are 12 and 13 miles distant respectively. There is convenient access to London and the West Country by road (M3 and A303) and rail, with main line stations at Grateley and Winchester.
