A charming period cottage, with incredible scope for enhancement, set in gorgeous grounds of about 1.4 acres.
Description
Cricketers Pond is an attractive detached period home, offering a really well-balanced living environment, with generous accommodation extending to just over 2,200 sq. ft. On the ground floor is a spacious entrance hall providing access to an impressive c.24ft triple aspect sitting room with a beautiful bay window, large central fireplace, outlook over the gardens, in all providing a superb space for entertaining and relaxing. The kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted cupboards and drawers, overlooking the rear garden, and is open plan through a breakfast room. From the kitchen, is a door providing access to a range of adjoining stores. A well proportioned dining room provides a great space for more formal entertaining, and a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. On the first floor are four bedrooms and a family bathroom.
OUTSIDE
The property is approached over a long, gravelled driveway leading to a parking area for ample vehicles. The gardens off Cricketers Pond are a real feature of the property and extend in all to approximately 1.39 acres. To the side of the property is a beautiful terrace which provides a seating area ideal for outdoor entertaining. To the rear of the property is an expanse of level lawn, beautifully landscaped and bordered by stunning mature trees. Beyond the formal garden is a large section of open paddock land, again bordered by mature hedges and trees. It is quite evident that a great deal of time and effort has been invested in creating the gardens, which provide a fantastic backdrop to the property.
Whilst the property is in need of modernisation and refurbishment throughout, it clearly has great potential to offer a fabulous living environment with an abundance of charm and character, well-balanced accommodation, beautiful grounds, in a very special location.
Location
The village of Curdridge is perceived as a first class rural area with agriculture and associated industries having predominated the area since Anglo Saxon times. Curdridge is also the gateway to the Meon Valley and is valued by its population as a desirable area in which to live and raise a family. The village itself is spread over an area of 6 square miles, surrounded by beautiful farmland and rolling countryside.
To the northern end of the village are Curdridge Primary School, the Church and Reading Rooms (Village Hall), the recreational ground and junior football field. There is a highly regarded village nursery and Swanmore Secondary is about 3.1 miles from the house. Private schools include Boundary Oak School (6.6 miles) and The Gregg School (6.7 miles) both offering a bus service from the village.
Within the area there are a number of public footpaths, in particular the Nether Hill to Durley Mill and Blind Lane. The award winning Cricketers Inn, is within 0.6 miles of the house and offers hearty food and a good selection of beverages. Further afield are the excellent amenities offered by the Georgian market towns of Bishops Waltham and Wickham as well as the overland mainline railway services at Botley, 1 mile(1.6 km).
More comprehensive facilities can be found in Southampton, together with the International Airport at Eastleigh, 7.7 miles (12.5km). The house is also well situated for easy access to the national motorway network with Junction 7 of the M27 being approximately 4.3 miles (7 km).
