The Property

Situated within Abbots Worthy conservation area, this attractive period cottage, believed to have been built circa 1610, offers a wealth of character and is situated in an idyllic location in the South Downs National Park on the outskirts of Winchester city centre. The downstairs accommodation comprises of a kitchen and utility room and two well proportioned reception rooms, each with lovely woodburning stoves, to the front of the cottage. Stairs sit in the middle of the property and rise to a principal bedroom with ensuite shower room, two further double bedrooms and family bathroom. The property has unusually high ceilings upstairs for a property of this style which adds to the sense of space and light. Externally, the front and back gardens are a generous size and ideal for families and keen gardeners alike. A summer house sits at the back of the garden and would make an ideal studio or home office if one required. A large driveway offers parking for up to four cars. The property offers scope to extend and the current owner had planning permission now lapsed and listed building consent for a side extension, which would make a fantastic project for future owners should they wish to explore this option.
