About this property

Hamptons are delighted to be marketing this captivating, detached cottage located in a beloved Hampshire village with stunning views. Believed to date back to the 16th century, over time the property has undergone considerable extensions and improvements while maintaining an abundance of charm and character reminiscent of its historical era.

This stunning cottage is believed to have served as a gamekeeper's cottage on the Dogmersfield estate, situated at a small crossroads where the original lane connected Crookham Village to Crondall. Sundown Cottage sits within a conservation area and while it is not listed as a protected building it holds significant historical and architectural significance. Alterations are permissible, provided they adhere to local planning regulations, although the facade must remain unchanged. A gravel driveway at the front offers ample parking space and leads up to a double garage. Upon entering through the front door, one is welcomed into a central hallway granting access to various rooms and a downstairs cloakroom. The impressive main reception room exudes character with its exposed timbers and Inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove. An alternative entrance leads to a tastefully renovated ground floor shower room and a secondary staircase accessing two first-floor bedrooms.
The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, featuring a charming country cottage style design with sturdy wooden work surfaces, integrated appliances including a wine cooler, and a gas-fired Aga. An extension from the kitchen leads to a remarkable Orangery boasting panoramic views of the garden and surrounding fields. Additionally, there is a separate family room or study with French doors leading outside. The bedrooms are accessed via two different staircases, one leading to the principal bedroom with dressing room/bedroom 4, while the other staircase provides access to two further bedrooms and a four-piece family bathroom suite. To truly appreciate the allure of this stunning cottage, an internal viewing is essential.

Outside
The garden stands out as a distinctive highlight of this property. A barn-style studio, added in recent years, offers exceptional ancillary space suitable for remote work. Presently utilized as a yoga studio, it holds potential as an ideal space for teenagers' recreation, a games room, or a home office. The garden features extensive lawn areas adorned with herbaceous borders, while a spacious paved terrace creates a delightful setting for outdoor gatherings, offering stunning views of the neighbouring countryside.
