A BEAUTIFUL DETACHED GRADE II LISTED COTTAGE WITH CHARMING ACCOMMODATION AND AN ATTRACTIVE PRIVATE COTTAGE GARDEN, SITUATED TOWARDS THE END OF A ‘NO THROUGH’ LANE WITH EASY ACCESS TO THE COUNTRYSIDE FOR WALKING AND CYCLING


A charming detached Grade II listed period cottage, constructed of timber frame and colour washed elevations mainly beneath a thatched roof. The charming accommodation comprises a thatched entrance porch, reception hall (currently used as a study and music room), cloakroom, sitting room and dining room (both dual aspect rooms with open fireplaces and wood burning stoves). There is also an inner lobby, a recently refitted kitchen and ground floor principal bedroom suite comprising a dual aspect double bedroom with French doors opening onto the garden, and en suite shower room. To the first floor there are two bedrooms (one very large) and a family bathroom. The main garden, which is well stocked and beautifully landscaped, lies to the rear and one end of the cottage and features an ornamental pond. Off road parking is available on the driveway in front of the garage, which has a separate utility room to the rear, and an Italian style garden to the side with potted plants and fruit trees. In addition, there is also a detached solar powered hobby cabin/workshop.

The property is situated in the quiet rural village of Quarley which has a hall, church and bus service. There is an excellent village community and a regular pop-up pub and cafe in the hall is proving to be a great success. The nearby village of Grateley (one mile distant) has a reputable primary school, public house, church, village hall and main line railway station providing fast services to London Waterloo (1 hour 20 minutes). The picturesque town of Stockbridge, traversed by the River Test, is 10 minutes’ drive away and has local shops, a Post Office, doctor’s surgery, schools and an abundance of pubs and restaurants. Andover, approximately six miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, and also has a mainline station. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury and the town of Basingstoke are all within 30 minutes’ drive and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
