" LOT 1 - A GRADE 2 LISTED VICTORIAN FARM COTTAGE (SEMI-DETACHED) WITH GARDENS AND WOODLAND OF ABOUT HALF AN ACRE, SITUATED IN A SPLENDID RURAL SETTING ABOUT FOUR MILES SOUTH OF WINCHESTER. This character cottage is one of a pair and was refurbished in about 2001 which at that time included rewiring, damp treatment, a new bathroom suite, new decorations and new floor coverings. The house enjoys some wonderful rural views and there are plenty of opportunities for country walks in the immediate vicinity, as it is adjacent to a bridleway. The Corhampton / Winchester road passes to the front of the house giving easy access to the city, the mainline railway station and to the M3 motorway. In addition, the major centres of Eastleigh, Southampton, Portsmouth and Petersfield are all within an easy drive. A regular bus service to Winchester passes the door and the nearest local shop/Post Office is at nearby Twyford (where there is also a doctor's surgery) and there is a primary school at Owslebury (about a mile).
NOTE: THE ADJACENT COTTAGE (LOT 2) IS ALSO AVAILABLE FOR SALE AS WELL AS FURTHER PASTURE AND WOODLAND OF ABOUT 11.5 ACRES (LOT 3).

VIEWING ARRANGEMENTS PLEASE NOTE THAT VIEWING IS STRICTLY BY APPOINTMENT ONLY AS THESE PROPERTIES ARE CURRENTLY OCCUPIED. ADDITIONAL LAND There is additional land extending to ABOUT 11.5 ACRES (LOT 3) which is available by further negotiation. This is mainly pasture land but also includes hedgerows, some woodland and THREE POLE BARNS (which are in a dilapidated state). If any or all of this is of interest, please enquire for further details. GUIDE TO ABOVE PLAN We will be pleased to explain the proposed boundaries, rights of way and colouring in detail. But, by way of initial clarification, we would mention that:-
a) the area coloured BLUE is a shared right of way over the adjacent owner's land for the benefit of LOTS 1, 2 & 3.
b) the area coloured YELLOW is a shared right of way over LOT 3 for the benefit of LOTS 1 & 2.
c) the area coloured BROWN is a long-established track (presently rather overgrown).
It is proposed that LOT 1 will have full access along this track to access their land and, in order to enable LOT 2 to have access to the bridleway, LOT 2 will also have a right along the lower end of this track on foot or horseback across LOT 1.
d) The small area coloured GREY (within the hatched area) is where the majority of the water meters are located plus the fire hydrant - and this area belongs to Bottom Pond Farm Water Company Ltd.
e) The HATCHED area merely indicates the existing vehicular access into the fields (which form the majority of LOT 3). THE ADJACENT COTTAGE The adjacent cottage is also available for sale (LOT 2) and is, effectively, a mirror image of this cottage. If this is also of interest, please enquire for further details.
