Description
The Property - Cowpen Cottage is a very attractive period home, thoughtfully extended and modernised to create a wonderful family house. The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout, combining period charm with contemporary finishes, good ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light. On the ground floor there is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room with gas fired Raeburn, as well as a practical utility/boot room and downstairs cloakroom. The sitting room is spacious and dual-aspect with a log burning stove and French doors opening onto the garden. An internal hall features a striking vaulted ceiling and contemporary oak and glass staircase and there is a further generous snug / family room with open fire. Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, including a lovely main bedroom with en suite bathroom and views over the garden, together with a well-appointed family bathroom.
Outside - The garden is truly magical and wonderfully unexpected for a village setting. As the cottage occupies an elevated position, steps lead up to a large, sunny terrace situated above the single garage. To one side, there is a fenced swimming pool with a decking area and a small pool house. To the rear, a further terrace provides an ideal space for outdoor entertaining, while an expanse of lawn extends into a wildflower meadow and orchard. Beyond this is an ‘upper garden’, mainly laid to lawn and partly walled, offering pedestrian access to the village as well as housing a large studio/office and a gazebo, ideal for sheltered alfresco dining and drinks. It is an exceptional space for families and animals to ‘free range’, as well as for keen gardeners to enjoy throughout the year.
Situation - Cowpen Cottage sits in an elevated position on the edge of the popular village of Selborne, one of Hampshire’s rural gems with an unspoilt landscape featuring the ancient wooded Hangers. The village has an active community with village hall, church, pub, primary school and recreation ground. Gilbert White's House & Gardens sits within the heart of the village, open to the public with a delightful Cafe and Gift Shop. Alton is just 4 miles away and Petersfield about 9 miles away both offering wider shopping and amenities and mainline stations. The A31 at Alton provides good regional transport links to Winchester and Farnham and the A3 at Liss to London, Guildford and the south coast.
Hampshire is well catered for with top performing state and independent schools (Bedales, Churchers, Highfield, Lord Wandsworth College and St Swithuns). There are many footpaths and bridleways in the area as well as the local lanes which provide a fantastic network of walks and cycle routes (including the National Trust land at Selborne Common).
