The Interior

Stepping through the front door, you are immediately welcomed by the warmth and character that make period cottages so desirable. The sitting room enjoys a cosy atmosphere and features an attractive exposed brick chimney breast, creating a charming focal point and enhancing the property's character.

Beyond the sitting room lies a separate dining room, providing valuable flexibility for modern living. Whether used for family meals, entertaining guests, working from home or simply enjoying additional living space, this room offers versatility often missing from properties of a similar size.

To the rear of the home, the kitchen provides practical workspace and storage, whilst a useful lean-to area creates additional functionality and connects seamlessly to the ground floor shower room. A conservatory extends the accommodation further, providing an enjoyable space to relax whilst overlooking the garden.

The current owner has continued to improve the property over time, including replacement windows and electrical upgrades, allowing buyers to move straight in and enjoy the home with confidence.

Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms continue the property's characterful appeal. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in storage, whilst the second bedroom enjoys additional cupboard space and attractive original features. Completing the first floor is a family bathroom, a rare and highly desirable feature within a cottage of this age and style.

The Garden & Studio

The enclosed rear garden provides a private outdoor retreat and the perfect place to enjoy warmer months. Whether relaxing with a morning coffee, entertaining friends or enjoying a summer barbecue, the space offers excellent privacy and practicality.

A standout feature of the property is the fully insulated, powered and double-glazed garden studio. Offering exceptional versatility, this valuable additional space could serve as a home office, workshop, creative studio, hobby room, fitness space or secure storage area, adapting easily to suit a variety of lifestyles and requirements.

Living In Fareham

One of the property's greatest attractions is its convenient location. Fareham Town Centre is within easy reach, offering an excellent range of shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities.

For those who enjoy spending time outdoors, Salterns Lake, Cams Bay and Fareham Creek are all within walking distance, providing beautiful waterside walks, open green spaces and picturesque surroundings to enjoy throughout the year.

Excellent transport connections further enhance the property's appeal, with Fareham Railway Station, the M27 and A27 providing straightforward access to Southampton, Portsmouth and surrounding areas.

Character cottages that successfully combine period charm, versatile accommodation, a dedicated garden studio and such a convenient location are becoming increasingly difficult to find. New Cottages offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy all of these benefits within a home full of warmth, personality and long-term appeal.
