Drove Hill, Chilbolton, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

A MODERN DETACHED FOUR BEDROOM FAMILY HOUSE WITH OFF-ROAD PARKING AND LARGE DOUBLE GARAGE QUIETLY SITUATED IN THIS WELL ESTABLISHED CLOSE ON THE EDGE OF THE VILLAGE

An attractive detached house with brick and tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof. To the front there is a gated driveway and large detached double garage, while to the rear is the main well enclosed garden with patio. The current owner bought the property from new in the late 1980s and this is the first time it has been offered since. A number of these properties have never been sold which must be indicative of what great homes they have provided. The accommodation comprises reception hall and cloakroom, triple aspect living room with log burner, separate dining room and long adjoining kitchen/breakfast room. There is clear scope to combine these areas to create a large open plan live-in kitchen should you wish, subject to consent. On the first floor a good size principal bedroom with en suite shower room, three further bedrooms and family bathroom, also with shower. One of the other main features of this elevated close is how quiet it is and the excellent walking in and around the village.

The property is situated in the sought after village of Chilbolton which has a Post Office/store, church, village hall and public house. A second public house The Mayfly sits on the banks of the River Test. There are many excellent walks to West down and Chilbolton Common – a Designated Area of Special Scientific Interest and a renowned local beauty spot. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge, some four miles distant. Andover, also four miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are about fifteen and twenty-five minutes’ drive respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country
