Magpies, Northington, Alresford

Set in a plot of approx 0.89 acres, a characterful semi-detached cottage located in the pretty village of Northington.  Having already been extended, the property has planning permission to extend further and represents a fantastic opportunity in a beautiful setting.  

Downstairs, there is spacious kitchen/dining/family room with wood burning stove and plenty of space for a dining table as well as sofas and armchairs.  In the original part of the cottage is a further flag stoned sitting room with fireplace and wood burner and a study/playroom.  A downstairs cloakroom and porches to the front and the rear add to the character.

Upstairs, bedroom one benefits from an en-suite bathroom, and fitted storage.  There are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom, all finished to a high standard. 

Outside, the gardens are a delight, with a pretty rear garden and very large front garden with views up to Northington Church. The double garage has a workshop behind and there is a large driveway with plenty of parking.

Northington is located to the north west of Alresford, lying in the beautiful Candover Valley in the middle of a farming community. There are a wide variety of walks and cycle rides from the doorstep. There is a very pleasant walk past the church to the historic Grange, well known for the opera festival held there in the summer. The market town of Alresford is a 10 minute drive away. For road users, there is good access to the M3, A34 and wider road network. The rail station at Micheldever has a direct line to London.
