A PICTURESQUE MID TERRACED GRADE II LISTED PERIOD COTTAGE WHICH HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO THE REAR SITUATED IN THE HEART OF THE VILLAGE WITH A WELL ENCLOSED REAR GARDEN OVERLOOKING FARMLAND

A charming mid-terraced period cottage which was originally restored and extended in 1989 by Romsey and District Buildings Preservation Trust under the direction of English Heritage using traditional skilled local craftsmen. The cottage is constructed of white washed rendered/timber framed elevations beneath a thatched roof, the rear extension (kitchen and bathroom) is constructed of white washed brick elevations beneath a slate roof. The cottage has a wealth of character with numerous exposed beams and timbers throughout together with vaulted ceilings to the first floor and also benefits from a recently refitted bathroom. An attractive feature of the property is the rear garden overlooking paddock/farmland.

The property is situated in the centre of the popular village of King’s Somborne which offers everyday facilities including a Post Office/village store, primary school, church and public house. The picturesque town of Stockbridge, traversed by the River Test, is just three minutes away to north and offers a variety of shops, Post Office, hotels and public houses, tea rooms/restaurants, churches, a doctors’ surgery and primary and secondary schools. The abbey town of Romsey is approximately seven miles to the south, and the cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are both within a half hour drive. There are also excellent road links to London and the West Country via the M3 and A303 and also to the South Coast.
