Primrose Hill, Appleshaw, Andover

A pretty brick and flint period cottage situated in a peaceful location in the picturesque village of Appleshaw. Crest Cottage benefits from two reception rooms, a charming loft room/bedroom three, as well as an additional area of land known as 'The Orchard'.

The Property
New to the market, Crest Cottage is a delightful period property, constructed of attractive brick and flint elevations beneath a traditional tiled roof, offering timeless charm and character throughout.
The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully light-filled, featuring wooden flooring and generous storage. French doors open seamlessly into the sun room, which spans the full length of the house and provides an inviting space to enjoy views of the garden whatever the weather.
The sitting room is equally bright and welcoming, centred around an attractive open-plan fireplace with tiled surround, creating a cosy focal point. The dining room has a vaulted ceiling and benefits from two skylights above, flooding the space with natural light and making it ideal for entertaining.
A downstairs bathroom with shower and adjoining utility area adds practicality and convenience.
Upstairs, the first floor offers two double bedrooms, both with built-in storage. The family bathroom is presented in a neutral palette and enjoys views over the garden and neighbouring farmland.
A staircase from the landing leads to a charming loft room which has been boarded and plastered, and is heated. It has exposed beams and is suitable for conversion to an additional bedroom, home office, or hobby room.
In the Agent’s opinion, Crest Cottage is a quintessential country home set in a delightful community, enjoying beautiful countryside and a wonderful sense of rural tranquillity.
