Chapel Gardens, Lindford, Hampshire, GU35

A rare opportunity to acquire a charming detached period cottage, offering a wealth of character and original features, set within mature grounds of just over one-third of an acre.

The property has been carefully maintained by the current owner, with many of its historic features thoughtfully preserved and restored. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, providing an attractive balance of period charm and practical family living.

The spacious entrance hall creates an impressive first impression, with exposed beams, a feature fireplace and a striking minstrel landing above. A cosy seating area enjoys views of the garden and provides an ideal space for reading or relaxation.

The triple-aspect sitting room is filled with natural light and centres around a feature fireplace with wood-burning stove. A separate formal dining room offers an excellent space for entertaining, while the generous triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room enjoys direct access to the garden. The ground floor is completed by a spacious family bathroom with both bath and separate shower.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a dressing room, currently arranged as a home office, with access to an additional room offering potential for conversion into an en-suite bathroom, subject to any necessary consents.

This is a home that must be viewed to fully appreciate its character, period features and generous accommodation.

The property sits within mature grounds extending to just over one-third of an acre. Accessed via a five-bar gate, a driveway provides extensive off-road parking and offers potential for the construction of a car barn or garage, subject to the usual planning permissions.

The gardens wrap around the property and provide a wonderful setting for outdoor living. Established borders are planted with a variety of mature shrubs and plants, creating year-round interest and colour. There are areas of lawn and patio, ideal for al fresco dining and entertaining, together with a traditional wishing well.

Two substantial timber outbuildings offer further versatility and could lend themselves to use as a home office, studio or hobby space.

Occupying a tucked away cul-de-sac position close to the centre of Lindford, the property is conveniently located for local amenities, including a selection of shops and a popular village pub.

More comprehensive facilities can be found in Grayshott or Liphook, which is approximately four miles away, which offers a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo and Portsmouth. The area is well served by both state and independent schools and is surrounded by attractive countryside, including extensive National Trust land, providing excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits.
