High Street, Wherwell, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

An attractive semi detached 3 bedroom cottage offering scope for modernisation and featuring a large private south easterly facing garden situated in the heart of this beautiful and sought after Test Valley village

A Grade II Listed period cottage with white washed elevations and exposed original framework beneath a thatched roof. The cottage has been let for a considerable time and now offers great scope for modernisation, redecoration and styling. A particular attraction is the large and secluded mature garden; the Estate selling the property have added a further overgrown parcel of land which allows the new owners to enlarge the cottage garden significantly or to create a vegetable garden or seperate lower garden area. Wherwell is a beautiful village with outstanding walks in the surrounding countryside, to the River Test and near villages where there are well regarded pubs. It is also strongly rumoured that The White Hart public house in Wherwell is going to be completely overhauled and re-opened in the near future which will be a great enhancement to the village.

The property is situated in the heart of the village of Wherwell, renowned for its many period properties and which also has a church, village hall, playing fields and primary school. There are charming country walks nearby including one along an unspoilt lane to the fine old Victorian church, and another across a long footbridge to The Common and neighbouring village of Chilbolton. The nearby town of Andover offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to London (Waterloo) in a little over an hour. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country, and the cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are approximately 20 minutes and 30 minutes distant respectively.
