The Street, Binsted, Alton, Hampshire

Beautifully appointed throughout, this charming three-bedroom period cottage - believed in part to date back to the 17th Century - combines a wealth of character features with versatile and comfortable modern living. The property takes full advantage of the features associated with a home of this period, creating a warm and inviting village residence with wonderful views across the adjoining farmland.

A particular highlight is the beautiful sitting room, featuring exposed beams and an impressive Inglenook fireplace, creating a wonderful focal point and a characterful space ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. A connecting door leads through to the conservatory, which provides an additional dining area and enjoys fine views over the garden and surrounding countryside. Double doors open directly onto the principally south-facing rear garden, making this an ideal space for enjoying the outdoors during the warmer months.

The accommodation is further complemented by a well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with a range of cabinets and incorporating an electric oven and gas hob. The first floor provides three bedrooms, together with a stylish bathroom fitted with a contemporary white suite.

Adding further flexibility is the basement room, which offers a range of potential uses depending on the needs of the new owner. It could provide an excellent home office, additional reception room, hobby space or potentially a fourth bedroom, subject to any necessary requirements.
