DESCRIPTION
A picturesque detached Grade II listed period cottage, constructed of cob elevations beneath a thatched roof with a later rear extension beneath slate. The cosy and characterful accommodation comprises a dual aspect sitting room with fireplace and log burning stove, good size separate dining hall, also with fireplace and former bread oven (not in use). There is also a long kitchen/breakfast room with small utility/boiler room on the ground floor. To the first floor there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Outside there is off-road parking for two to three cars diagonally opposite the cottage. The main garden comprises a generous raised terrace with tiled gazebo, ideal for entertaining. Attractive views are enjoyed from the front of the cottage over the roof tops and Test Valley.
LOCATION
The property is situated close to the centre of 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 bank of the River Test and is just a short walk away, as is the Test Way. There are many charming walks from the door to West down and Chilbolton Common – a designated Area of Special Scientific Interest and a renowned local beauty spot particularly noted for its rich flora and traversed by the River Test. West Down, also a short walk away, is ideal for dog walking. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge is 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 fifteen and twenty-five minutes’ drive respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.

Broadband availability and predicted speed: obtained from Ofcom on December 16, 2021
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
