Winchester Street, Chilbolton, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

A VERY SPACIOUS VILLAGE HOME WITH BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED ACCOMMODATION FEATURING LARGE ROOMS, IDEAL FOR ENTERTAINING, ENJOYING A QUIET PRIVATE POSITION IN THE HEART OF THIS HIGHLY DESIRABLE VILLAGE, SET WELL BACK FROM THE ROAD WITH MANAGEABLE LEVEL GARDENS

A detached chalet style house that has been extended and tastefully modernised internally. Planning permission was previously in place (and we believe this is still valid) for an adjoining double car port. The impressive and versatile accommodation comprises a reception hall, substantial triple aspect living room with fireplace and log burning stove, central open plan kitchen/breakfast room, also with log burning stove, and a wide opening into an adjoining sitting/dining area with glazed doors into the main garden. There is also a good size utility and cloakroom. A spacious ground floor study could alternatively be used as an excellent fourth double bedroom, if preferred. To the first floor there is a very large principal bedroom with en suite, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom. The property enjoys a particularly quiet position, set back from the road, and approached via a long drive which continues to just one other neighbour. All of the windows and doors have recently been redecorated and the property is well presented throughout.

The property has a quiet, private and tucked away setting on the eastern edge of the village of Chilbolton which has a Post Office/store/tea room, church, village hall and public house. A second public house The Mayfly sits on the bank of the River Test and is just a short walk away, as is the Test Way. There are many charming walks from the door to West Down and Chilbolton Common – a designated Area of Special Scientific Interest and a renowned local beauty spot particularly noted for its rich flora and traversed by the River Test. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge is some four miles distant. Mainline railway stations at Andover and Winchester both provide fast services to London Waterloo in around one hour. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are about fifteen and twenty-five minutes’ drive respectively and provide a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
