Full Description
A rare opportunity to enjoy a quintessential country cottage in a popular village one hour from London. This beautifully maintained, timber-framed home has been lovingly cared for since 1982 by one owner, who has meticulously preserved its original charm.
As you step inside, you'll be impressed by the open-plan dining and sitting rooms, topped by countless original oak beams and featuring a magnificent inglenook fireplace which becomes the focus of cosy winter evenings. The high, vaulted ceilings on the first floor afford a surprising sense of grandeur and generous storage facilities, while the traditional thatched roof and Hampshire clay tile cladding add a touch of rustic charm.
The property boasts two spacious bedrooms, one bathroom, and a study/third bedroom on the ground floor, with mains gas central heating throughout, creating the perfect retreat for those seeking a peaceful and serene lifestyle within easy reach of London.
The pretty enclosed garden, bounded by brick walls and a high hedge, features climbing roses, a honeysuckle-covered wooden arch and a prolific fig tree. The garden is easily managed and a perfect spot to relax and unwind while watching swallows soar the unpolluted skies. The garage is generously-sized and a second car can be accommodated on the attractive brick driveway.
