4 bedroom house for sale

A charming and individual country home of great character, offering versatile accommodation including a self-contained annexe, set in an idyllic rural position surrounded by rolling farmland. The property stands within about 2.4 acres of gardens and grounds and includes a 148.8 sq m / 1,602 sq ft barn. Believed to date from the 1800s, the cottage has been sensitively improved, retaining its period appeal while providing light, well-proportioned living spaces. The refurbishment included double-glazed windows and LPG gas-fired central heating as well as the installation of solar panels in May 2023 together with two batteries.

A spacious reception hall opens into a versatile reception area, creating an immediate sense of space. The principal accommodation features a superb triple-aspect sitting room with vaulted ceiling, lantern, and wood-burning stove, leading into a dining room also with a wood burning stove and access to the rear garden. The well-appointed kitchen includes fitted cabinetry, an integrated dishwasher and a 3 oven-Aga. A twin-aspect study/snug, utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. The ground-floor layout also allows for a self-contained annexe if required, comprising a living room with an external door, kitchenette, bedroom and en-suite shower room—ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom. Two of the bedrooms share a beautifully appointed Jack & Jill bathroom. All bathrooms are finished with contemporary white sanitaryware and generous walk-in showers.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire an individual rural home, tucked away from passing traffic yet only about 3.5 miles from Alton—combining privacy, character and convenience in a delightful countryside setting.
