Goodworth Clatford, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A most attractive and beautifully presented end of terraced cottage situated in the heart of this popular village with a mature large well stocked garden and a useful home office / studio

An end of terrace period cottage with a particularly attractive brick and flint façade set in the heart of village and within a short walk of the shop/post office and pubs.

A stable door opens onto a raised deck and the gardens. On the first floor there are two/three bedrooms, en suite shower room and main bathroom.
