This charming Grade II listed cottage is located in an extremely sought-after location on the outskirts of Winchester, perfectly positioned for excellent schooling and countryside walks. The cottage is nestled in a beautifully maintained and mature plot of around 0.2acres benefiting from a garage and car port all behind a five-bar gate. Internally, the cottage oozes character you would expect from a cottage almost 400 years old and really needs to be seen to appreciate. The property has a covered porch to the front leading into a formal dining room and separate sitting room - both have Wilton wool carpets and beautiful, original beams throughout. The lounge is light with dual aspect windows and a feature cast iron gas fireplace enhancing the cosy feel of the downstairs space. The ground floor also provides a snug/3rd bedroom, which is a very flexible space. The extended kitchen/diner is positioned towards the rear of the property with direct access to the garden. The kitchen/diner is vaulted and provides a very practical space. There is also a utility room and ground floor shower room. The first floor boasts two comfortable double bedrooms and a family bathroom serving both rooms. Externally, the mature cottage gardens are planted with beautiful shrubs, trees and perennial borders. French doors open from the kitchen/diner onto an entertaining terrace - ideal for al fresco dining - with an attractive water feature and gazebo close by.
