Hurst Lane, Owslebury, Winchester, Hampshire, SO21

Hurst Cottage is a charming and beautifully presented family home, where generous proportions, large windows and carefully considered finishes combine to create a bright and inviting living environment.



Approached via a colourful, well-maintained front garden, a canopied entrance leads into a spacious hallway featuring attractive tessellated tile flooring, setting the tone for the character and quality found throughout. From here, the principal reception rooms are easily accessed, offering versatile and well-balanced accommodation.

The kitchen is a standout feature of the home, fitted with bespoke cabinetry and elegant granite worktops. Thoughtfully designed, it includes extensive pantry-style storage, concealed cupboards, a wine fridge, and space for both a range cooker and an American-style fridge freezer. A particular highlight is the spiral wine cellar, providing both practical storage and a striking focal point.

The sitting room is generously proportioned and enjoys a dual aspect, overlooking both the front and rear gardens. French doors open onto the patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living, while a feature log burner with brick surround creates a warm and welcoming focal point. Additional ground floor accommodation includes a cosy snug, a study ideal for home working, and a well-appointed utility room.

To the first floor, a light-filled landing leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from built-in wardrobes and a charming en-suite shower room. The second bedroom has been combined to create a larger space but could easily be reinstated as two separate rooms if required. Bedrooms three and four both enjoy views over the rear garden and include built-in storage. A spacious family bathroom, complete with a Victorian-style roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle, completes the accommodation.

Externally, the rear garden offers a high degree of privacy and enjoys a desirable southerly aspect, creating a peaceful and secluded setting. A generous patio adjoins the house, providing an ideal space for al fresco dining and entertaining, complete with a brick-built pizza oven and ample room for seating and barbecuing. To the side of the property is a substantial bespoke garage with timber cladding and traditional barn-style doors, along with additional off-road parking for several vehicles.
