Description
An attractive semi detached period cottage, owned by the same family for many decades and now offered for sale, enjoying a peaceful, elevated position towards the end of a no through lane and forming part of a charming, tucked away hamlet. The property is within walking distance of St Mary Bourne, in the highly regarded and sought after Bourne Valley, surrounded by beautiful countryside while remaining conveniently accessible. The extended accommodation comprises a generous reception hall and boot room, sitting room, study, spacious kitchen and dining room opening into a living area, utility room and ground floor cloakroom. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with a balcony, attractive views and an ensuite bathroom, while the remaining bedrooms share a shower room. Outside, the property benefits from a good sized mature garden, ample parking and a substantial outbuilding offering tremendous potential for conversion into ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permission, or use as an ideal workshop.
The property is located on the outskirts of the village of St Mary Bourne, within a short walk of the ‘Bourne Valley Inn’ public house. The village, which is renowned for its many period houses and cottages and the surrounding undulating countryside, has a primary school, doctor’s surgery, church, modern village hall, a Post Office and shop, as well as two public houses and recreation ground with cricket pitch. The nearby towns of Andover (about five miles distant) and Newbury offer fast mainline rail services to Waterloo and Paddington respectively, together with a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. An excellent rail service to Waterloo is also available from Whitchurch, about three miles distant. The cathedral city of Winchester is approximately twenty minutes’ drive away. The A34 and A303 roads and M3 and M4 motorways are all within easy reach.
