Description
The modern garden room has spectacular south and eastern views over the gardens and grounds. Adjacent is the well-appointed Shaker style kitchen with vaulted ceiling, Aga and island unit. In the original parts of the house are the principal reception rooms, the sitting room and dining room. Currently the house is configured to have a ground floor bedroom with an en suite cloakroom, and additional rooms on this floor include a study, utility room and bathroom. Upstairs, the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom sits above one cottage, with two further bedrooms and bathroom above the other.
Original features throughout reflect the property's cottage origins, while the thoughtful joining of the two cottages creates a versatile layout.
Dating from around the mid-seventeenth century, Ladymead Cottage is a charming period home that has been thoughtfully extended over time.
Set within mature grounds which extend principally to the south and east of the house, it offers an exceptional combination of character, privacy and riverside living (including fishing rights) on the River Test.
Approached via a shared private lane and private gravel drive with plenty of parking (as well as a double garage), this beautiful cottage sits within established gardens and grounds extending to about 1.975 acres, bordered by mature trees and open countryside beyond. Lawns sweep down to the edge of the river where a summer house enjoys the tranquil setting rich in wildlife and natural beauty.
The property is located in the picturesque Test Valley village of Houghton, situated alongside the chalk-stream River Test. The village benefits from walking along the historic Clarendon Way and Test Way, with many activities on offer. The village has a pub, a church and a village hall, whilst the nearby market town of Stockbridge, offers other amenities which include restaurants and cafes, boutique and local shops, a butchers and a doctor's surgery. Houghton lies between the historic cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester, which both offer more comprehensive facilities, including direct train services to London Waterloo from 58 minutes. Stockbridge Primary School and Danebury School are the local catchment area schools alongside Peter Symonds’ Sixth Form College in Winchester. Independent preparatory schools include Princes Mead, Pilgrim’s, Twyford and Farleigh, with Winchester College and St Swithun’s in Winchester and Godolphin’s in Salisbury.
