Winchester Street, Chilbolton, Stockbridge, Hampshire, SO20

A linked period cottage, formerly two cottages that have been combined to form a four bedroom characterful home, featuring a charming, well stocked garden with drive and detached barn style garage, in an enviable edge of village setting near the church

Digby Croft Cottages was a terrace of attractive Grade II Listed cottages located on the edge of the old part of the village. Numbers One and Two were subsequently amalgamated to create Digby Croft Cottage. The property has a Flemish bond brick facade, with the gable end and rear elevation being brick and smooth rendered, all beneath a slate roof and featuring many distinctive small pane, cast iron framed period windows. At the rear, a beautiful garden leads to a gated drive and detached garage, with a veranda to one side and a boarded loft room above, together with an adjacent vegetable garden area. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, large dual aspect sitting room, separate dining room and a galley kitchen with breakfast bar and stable door opening out to the garden. It is understood that plumbing is accessible should a ground floor WC be required, although this would work best in conjunction with a kitchen extension, subject to obtaining all required consents. The first floor is accessed via a single staircase and is divided into four bedrooms, two of which are generous doubles, the third currently used as a twin guest room and the smallest single bedroom currently providing a study, all served by a bathroom and separate shower room.

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.
