Description
Ivy Cottage is a delightful detached Grade II listed home, rich in period charm and character, and beautifully renovated throughout by the current owners. The result is a seamless blend of historic features and modern living, creating a charming home which is effortlessly liveable.
The welcoming sitting room is full of character, featuring exposed beams and an open fire, and flows naturally through to the study, which would also lend itself very well to a third bedroom, if required. The kitchen has been completely re-fitted with bespoke cabinetry, integrated AEG appliances, an electric AGA and quartz worktops, and enjoys attractive views across the village. An adjoining utility room has also been newly installed, alongside a cloakroom, both finished with Fired Earth Baccarat floor tiles The snug provides an additional cosy reception room, which leads through to an impressive garden room providing exceptional entertaining space and perfectly suited to everyday family life.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom which is a particular highlight, with excellent proportions and direct access on to a large balcony overlooking the garden; a perfect morning coffee spot. It is complemented by a beautifully finished and recently re-fitted en suite bathroom. A second bedroom, and large storage cupboard completes the first floor accommodation. This quintessential Hampshire cottage has been thoughtfully and carefully renovated to enhance its original charm while providing the comforts and functionality of contemporary living; a wonderful home ready to move straight into and enjoy.
OUTSIDE
The front of the property is approached via a pathway bordered by an attractively landscaped garden. To the rear, the sun-trap garden is a true feature of the home, having been beautifully and cleverly arranged over four superbly landscaped tiers. Each level has been designed to create interest and usable space, with the uppermost terrace being a hidden gem; perfect for al fresco dining and entertaining. From here, there are spectacular, far-reaching views across the picturesque village and the valley beyond, offering a wonderful sense of peace, privacy, and connection to the surrounding countryside.
Location
Situated in the heart of the picturesque Test Valley village of Wherwell, the property enjoys a quintessential village setting with a church, public house, primary school and village hall. The surrounding countryside is a particular highlight, with renowned chalk-stream fishing on the River Test, extensive playing fields and numerous footpaths quite literally on the doorstep, ideal for walking, cycling and other country pursuits.
The neighbouring village of Chilbolton, offers a village shop and post office, while further amenities can be found in the highly regarded Georgian market town of Stockbridge, about 4.5 miles distant, celebrated for its broad High Street lined with independent shops, cafés, delicatessens, antique centres and traditional inns.
The Cathedral City of Winchester provides an extensive range of cultural, educational and leisure facilities and benefits from a fast rail service to London Waterloo with journey times of approximately 55 minutes. Andover railway station, around five miles away, also offers direct services to London. By road, the A303 lies about one mile from the property, providing swift access to the M3, M27 and A34, with Heathrow and Gatwick airports both readily accessible for international travel.
Local schooling in the area is well regarded, with a range of respected state and independent options available including Winchester College, St Swithun's School, The Pilgrims' School and Twyford School.
