AN END OF TERRACE HOUSE FORMING PART OF A BEAUTIFUL FORMER VICTORIAN TERRACE FEATURING GROUND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION WITH HIGH CEILINGS AND AN ATTRACTIVE MAINLY WALLED WESTERLY FACING GARDEN, QUIETLY SET AWAY FROM ALL ROADS ON THE EDGE OF THIS POPULAR VILLAGE

The end of a Victorian terrace of just four similar houses with attractive Flemish bond brick elevations under a slate roof. The accommodation comprises entrance porch and internal hall, useful cloakroom with laundry area, and open plan sitting/dining room with attractive fireplace and multi-fuel stove and good size kitchen. These living areas feature unusually high ceilings providing a great feel of space. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Behind the cottage there is a small completely enclosed courtyard with an easterly aspect, ideal for breakfast, whilst the main well stocked garden extends to the front of the cottage; this enjoys a westerly aspect and is private, being enclosed on two sides by tall slate capped cob walls. The terrace sits perpendicular towards the end of a quiet no-through lane and no.4 is furthest from the lane, being accessed across the front of the other properties or privately via a gate into the main garden.

The property is situated on the edge of the village of Broughton, which offers everyday amenities including a Post Office/store, doctor’s surgery, church, public house and a primary school. The picturesque town of Stockbridge is about four miles away and provides a range of shops, hotels, restaurants, churches and a secondary school. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are some twelve and thirteen miles distant respectively. There is convenient access to London and the West Country by road (M3 and A303) and rail, with main line stations at Grateley and Winchester.
