Village Street, Thruxton, Andover

An extended period semi-detached cottage, with further potential, in the pretty Hampshire village of Thruxton.

High House is an extremely appealing semi-detached cottage, that has a grander presence to it. On first sight, it looks like a larger detached house, but is in fact semi-detached, with its neighbour being set further back. The property has been beautifully maintained by the current owners over the last twenty three years, and offers well balanced accommodation over three floors.

From the entrance hall, you come into a traditional front sitting room with features such as the decorative coving, chimney breast and mantle piece (the chimney stack has been removed though) and wooden tongue and groove doors giving it a real characterful, cosy feel.

To the rear, a really successful addition is the extension providing an eat-in kitchen. Beautifully light with its double aspect, lantern light and door to the garden. There is space too, for a sofa area in the original part of the room.

Also downstairs is a good-sized wet room.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. The larger of the two rooms has a lovely view over the lane to the paddock to the front. The second at the rear, has stairs up to the loft room. This handy extra space has been carpeted and has natural light from the window in the gable end. We believe that there is scope (subject to planning) to extend the property to the side, giving a third bedroom, which would be easily accessible from the landing.

Outside
The south facing garden has been well stocked with plants and shrubs around a flat lawned area. There are different areas to sit and enjoy the sun at different times of the day, with a patio by the kitchen window and an area around the summer house at the top of the garden. Parking is readily available immediately outside the property, with space for two within the width of the plot. The driveway could likely fit a small car, but offers space for a possible extension and/or garden access. At the end of the drive is a useful garden shed.
