Description
A substantial detached modern residence constructed of brick elevations with flint detailing beneath a tiled roof, with a large driveway and an integral double garage. The extensive and spacious accommodation is arranged predominantly on the ground floor, with two additional first floor bedrooms, one of which benefits from an ensuite bathroom and adjoining dressing room or study. The principal ground floor accommodation includes a reception hall, a large L shaped living room with a fireplace and log burning stove, a substantial open plan kitchen/dining room with a central island, a separate utility room and a useful shower room. There is an outstanding principal bedroom suite with a vaulted ceiling, mezzanine level and ensuite bathroom, together with two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The plot extends to about 0.55 acres, with a large driveway to the front and a gate providing direct access to Cow Common, an area of approximately 50 acres traversed by the River Test and designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The majority of the land lies to the rear, creating a secluded, level and mature garden with a choice of seating areas and a large lawn, backing directly onto the common where there is a natural pond. Kingfishers occupies a particularly favourable position at the end of a private road serving only a handful of detached homes in the very heart of the village, providing a secure and tucked away setting whilst remaining within easy walking distance of local amenities.
The property is situated in the sought after village of Chilbolton which has a post office/store, church, village hall and public house. A second public house The Mayfly sits on the banks of the River Test. There are many excellent walks to West down and Chilbolton Common – a Designated Area of Special Scientific Interest and a renowned local beauty spot. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge, some four miles distant. Andover, also four miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are about a 15 and 25 minute drive away respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
