Owners Comments
"We absolutely fell in love with this chocolate box cottage as soon
we saw it. We are so happy, safe and secure living here. All of my
guests adore this cottage too. It is charming, warm, cosy and it's
like living a fairy tale. We usually eat outside from May to
September and the garden captures full sunshine all day long.
During the winter we adore the cosy fires and warmth."
"We are totally private as we close
the gate we leave the world outside and have the whole garden which
surrounds the cottage. We cater for guests very well with all the
space in the Garage, which is like another little cottage in the
garden. Working from home in my beautiful office overlooking the
garden is also a real pleasure, and I also have the comfort of a
log burner here too! Totally spoilt! I love Kingsclere."
Introduction
With origins dating back to the early 1920's, Kingsclere contains
all the enchantment of a character home fused seamlessly with many
modern comforts. Exposed original timbers, feature brick fireplaces
with fire side cupboards and wooden thumb latch doors offer the
traditional character with practicalities including a self
contained two storey garage, detached home office and tool shed.
Feature high ceilings also highlight the charm within the generous
accommodation which is particularly versatile offering the option
to utilise the three bedrooms and two receptions to suit various
requirements. Positioned perfectly for commuting with links via the
A27 to the medieval city of Salisbury or Romsey, and located within
the desirable village of Shootash adjoining immediate countryside,
the cottage's versatility of accommodation extends to the
outbuildings particularly the garage which could offer excellent
supplementary living space. Kingsclere is encompassed by
beautifully tended well sized gardens, offering a high degree of
privacy featuring an original thatched well whilst the grounds are
supplemented by generous parking.
Description
Upon opening the hardwood front door into the hall, one is
immediately immersed in the history of this home with exposed beams
and dark wooden thumb latched doors with matching architraves,
accessing the principal rooms and a useful cloaks cupboard with
alarm panel. The thoughtfully designed well equipped Shaston
kitchen offers a quarry tiled floor with a range of cottage style
eye and base units and worktops. The kitchen is delightfully
presented with integrated day fridge, slimline dishwasher, Baumatic
stainless steel extractor hood and space for a Range oven. There is
a loft hatch with fitted ladder which hosts the electric immersion
tank. The kitchen is supplemented by an open plan dining room
centred upon a feature brick fireplace with wood burning stove and
attractive fire side cupboards. The triple aspect garden room
enjoys views over the gardens and also offers a quarry tiled floor
with a door to the gardens. The lounge is an attractive room
centred upon an exposed brick Inglenook fire place hosting a wood
burning stove with original chainmail fire guard and fire side
cupboard. The bedrooms are impressive all with generous wardrobe
space and serviced by the family shower room comprising corner
shower unit with electric Mira shower, low level WC and pedestal
wash hand basin.
Garage/Annex Potential
The two storey garage is substantial and has been thoughtfully
crafted to be in keeping with the main cottage with a thatched
roof, exposed beams and attractive staircase. It could be utilised
as an annex as the main part of the garage includes a utility area
with space and plumbing for a washing machine and dryer and a
bathroom with ceramic tiled flooring. There is cedar coving to the
ground floor with insulation to the first floor and ceiling. The
first floor offers an ideal space for a variety of uses including
additional office space or an ideal peaceful spot to pursue a hobby
or craft. Furthermore, the garage door has been maintained so that
if desired, the building can be used as a large garage as the
utility area and bathroom are to the rear.
Timber
Outbuildings
Another superb
external space is the timber framed outbuilding, constructed on a
concrete and brick foundation currently used as an office. It is

telephone lines installed in addition to a cosy wood burning
stove.

property is screened from the road by mature hedgerow and is

driveway providing parking and turning for several vehicles. The
gardens encompass the property with the front hosting a lawned area
with raised planters and an attractive covered porch with solid oak
pillars to the front door. Dual side access leads to the rear
approached from one side via the driveway and the other by lawns.

sculpted well stocked flower borders hosting an array of flowering
shrubs and a traditional working thatched well. There is a spacious
tool shed with power. There is a private pedestrian wooden gate
over Broadlands Estate leading to the beautiful Testway walk into
