River View Close, Chilbolton, Stockbridge, Hampshire

Lushoto is a very well proportioned detached home
which has been extended and completely refurbished
by the current owners. It now provides generous
accommodation over two floors. Light is a real feature
of this house, with all the rooms having large windows.
There is a really welcoming entrance hall which is
bright and spacious and from which all the main living
spaces are accessed. Of particular note is the open
plan kitchen/dining room which is very versatile and
social, with Karndean flooring and French doors out
onto the terrace. The bespoke kitchen has a good
range of wall and base units, with integrated
appliances and a central island and breakfast bar,
there is a wood burning stove and space for a dining
table along with a relaxed seating area. From the
kitchen there is access into the useful utility room
which has access out to the garden. There is a sitting
room which has a central fireplace and a wood
burning stove along with French doors out onto the
terrace. A further reception room is currently used as a
snug/study. A cloakroom completes the ground floor
accommodation. Upstairs, there is a principal bedroom
with an excellent dressing room with built in
wardrobes and there is a well appointed shower room
with walk in shower and dual sinks and vanity units.
There are two further generous double bedrooms
which both have built in wardrobes, a family bathroom
with a bath and separate shower cubicle and a further
fourth bedroom.

The house is approached via wooden electric gates
and the driveway sweeps down to the front of the
house through attractive gardens. Here there is a
double garage and workshop, along with a triple bay,
barn style carport and ample parking for several
vehicles. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace
running the length of the house and enjoying the
views over the garden and the countryside beyond.
The garden has mainly been laid to lawns and there
are mature shrub and herbaceous borders, along with
raised vegetable beds. There are a number of
outbuildings, including a summer house, shed and a
potting shed.

Lushoto is found in an elevated position in this very
pretty and largely unspoilt village on the upper
reaches of the River Test. Cow Common is a popular
area for walking, which is a designated SSSI site, along
with West Downs Nature Reserve, both of which are
on the doorstep. Within the village there is a post
office/store, village hall, church and the Abbots Mitre
public house, as well as an excellent community spirit.
The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester,
together with the Test Valley town of Stockbridge, are
easily accessible and there are mainline railway
stations at Andover, Winchester, Micheldever and
Basingstoke, all on the Waterloo line. The A303 lies
just to the north providing good access to all parts of
the country including London and the West Country.
There is a primary school at Wherwell which feeds
into Danebury school in Stockbridge. Private schools
in the area include Norman Court, West Tytherley
(Preparatory) and Farleigh School near Andover,
Winchester College, St Swithun’s and the renowned
Peter Symonds 6th Form College in Winchester
