Charming Grade II listed character home with exceptional gardens.
Description
A beautifully presented Grade II listed character property dating back to the 17th century. Light and spacious family accommodation is arranged over two floors, with many period features including exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and some vaulted ceilings which enhance the sense of space. The cottage is decorated throughout in a neutral palette.
The heart of the home is the generous fully fitted country-style kitchen, with underfloor heating and a door to the garden and an adjoining utility room, again with a door out to the garden. Excellent reception space is offered with a sitting room, family room and study, all featuring wood-burning stoves. There are also two staircases to the first floor and a downstairs cloakroom.
The first floor again oozes character and offers a principal bedroom with en suite shower room. There are a further four double bedrooms and two more bathrooms.
OUTSIDE
The front of the property is approached via wooden gates opening on to a graveled driveway which can accommodate numerous cars in front of the detached double garage (with storage over).
To the rear are wonderful mature grounds which extend to around one acre. Immediately adjacent to the house is a sizeable terrace, the perfect spot for dining and enjoying delightful views over the gardens. The garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by a wide variety of established shrubs and trees. The garden features a spring fed pond which is enclosed by a picket fence which again boasts many mature plans. There is an attractive decking area with summer house and lovely walkways.
To the side of the house there is a beautiful, more formal garden with box hedging and gravel pathways, which can be viewed from the sitting room. Additionally, there are two sheds, a greenhouse and a useful log store.
Location
The property is situated in the heart of Sherborne St John, a village which is renowned for its attractive period architecture. Within the village is a church, village hall, and a public house. Educational needs are well served, with a highly reputable infant and primary school within the village. Independent schools nearby include Daneshill, Cheam, Sherfield, St Gabriels and only a short distance from Lord Wandsworth College. The extensive amenities of Basingstoke are accessible, with its comprehensive range of shops (Festival Place), supermarkets and the Anvil Centre is around 3 miles to the south.
