Station Road, Chilbolton, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

An individual modern detached house with characterful accommodation arranged over three floors, providing extremely well-presented and versatile accommodation, complemented by an attractively landscaped garden and open views across part of the Test Valley.

An attractive modern detached house set within an exclusive development of five individual homes, positioned back from the road on the edge of this popular village. Built by a renowned local developer known for sympathetic traditional designs throughout the Test Valley, the property features colour washed smooth rendered elevations beneath a clay tile roof with cast iron guttering and aluminium faced double glazed windows. The beautifully presented accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the character of a period home, with curved window reveals and door openings, and mainly solid oak panel doors finished with decorative iron hinges and latches. The ground floor comprises a welcoming hall, cloakroom, and a living room with fireplace, log burner, and picture window, alongside a spacious open plan recently replaced kitchen/breakfast room with dining area wide glazing, including a central door that opens onto the main deck and rear garden while enjoying valley views. The first floor offers a principal bedroom with walk in wardrobe and travertine tiled en suite, two further double bedrooms, and a family bathroom, all benefitting from even more impressive elevated views. A particular feature of the property is the unique lower ground floor, which includes windows and some natural light, providing a large L shaped living space currently used as a cinema and gym, leading to a well lit study or fourth bedroom, along with a separate utility and plant room. The front of the house provides ample parking, while the rear garden is ideal for entertaining, with a variety of seating areas, a small lawn, borders, and a garden store.

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 a 15 and 25 minute drive away respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
