About this property

A delightful and spacious cottage of great character and charm standing close to the heart of the village, sympathetically and carefully improved by the existing owners with replacement double glazed windows, re-fitted kitchen and a beautifully finished bathroom with traditional sanitary ware.

The cottage is far larger than initially anticipated and provides a very fine and interesting home whilst retaining all of its inherent character. The spacious sitting room, with a fireplace and wood burning stove, opens into a separate dining room with French doors opening out to the terrace and rear garden. The living accommodation is complemented by a fitted kitchen with a range of cabinets together with pan drawers, butler sink and a slate tiled floor. There is also a useful adjoining utility/boot room. The two double bedrooms and traditional bathroom suite with a claw foot bath and shower over, basin and WC are set to the first floor. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and a mezzanine, currently used as a flexible home office space. Further improvements undertaken include the fitting of composite doors to the front and rear as well a gas fired boiler in 2015. Of note, the cottage also has the considerable benefit of a detached timber framed cabin, this space is very flexible and has been used for home working and as an occasional guest bedroom space. This is a very appealing village home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Outside
The garden is a very special feature of the cottage and has been landscaped to take full advantage of the setting with a variety of areas of interest. The cottage is approached via a paved pathway leading to the front door with side access to the rear. The rear garden has been landscaped with two separate slate paved terraces, ideal for outside seating, together with an area of lawn and flower and shrub borders. The cabin (with power connected) stands towards the rear of the garden.

Situation
Holybourne has a very strong and active community with Andrews Endowed Primary School (four to eleven), Eggars Secondary School, the well renowned 'White Hart' public house, shop/Post Office, theatre, hall, church and a number of clubs and associations. Holybourne is adjacent to Alton and also adjoins fine open Hampshire countryside. Alton provides a range of individual shops together with weekly and specialist markets, Waitrose and M&S Simply Food, cinema, sports centre, secondary school, a sixth form college and mainline station to London Waterloo. Of note, the station is within about one and a half miles of the cottage. The market town of Farnham and the cathedral cities of Winchester and Guildford can be accessed via the nearby A31. The immediate surrounding countryside provides ample opportunity for many country pursuits.
