" Located in the popular village of Itchen Abbas, this delightful Grade II Listed brick and flint cottage offers a unique fusion of old and new, combining the character features of a period thatched cottage with the space and open layout of a modern day residence. The current configuration is in keeping with today's ethos of well proportioned rooms that interlink and provide comfortable living accommodation.
The ground floor layout comprises a sitting/dining room with full height brick built fireplace, Jetmaster log fire and French doors opening onto the rear terrace, and a recently refitted kitchen featuring a range of modern units and appliances, opening out onto an extensive decked terrace area. The indoor space links neatly to the terraces and garden creating an ideal environment for entertaining and al-fresco dining, with a shower room providing a useful addition for guests.
From the ground floor a staircase with a shelved wall leads to a landing giving access to the master bedroom, two guest bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The opportunity exists to create further living accommodation by extending out to the side of the property (subject to the necessary planning consents being granted).


Situation
Itchen Abbas is a charming village on the banks of the River Itchen about 5 miles north-east of Winchester. The village boasts a substantial village hall which serves as a popular venue for weddings and other occasions, as well as a primary school and the renowned Trout Inn. The picturesque Park Golf Course is just half a mile from the Trout and provides stunning views of Avington House and the Itchen Valley. The Itchen Valley itself provides excellent walking with riverside walks and good fishing on hand. The cathedral city of Winchester provides a more comprehensive range of amenities including the mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo (about one hour) and Junction 9 of the M3 provides road access to London (about 70 miles), the south coast and M27.

The property is approached via a gravelled drive, providing off road parking in addition to the detached garage. The main gardens lie to the front and side of the property and are laid to lawn with a variety of hedges and established planting and feature a raised timber terrace. To the rear of the house is a paved terrace which offers seclusion and forms a perfect 'sun trap'.
