About this property

A spacious three-bedroom cottage set within an idyllic position amidst rolling Hampshire countryside and the South Downs National Park.

Set within a terrace of three former farm workers cottages, 3 Hay Place Cottages enjoys an idyllic position amidst rolling Hampshire countryside and the South Downs National Park.

The ground floor offers a sitting room with a fireplace together with a generous kitchen/dining room with an adjoining pantry and rear lobby. The kitchen is fitted with a range of eye and base level cabinets, with spaces for appliances and a gas-fired Rayburn range (also incorporating the central heating boiler).

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, each enjoying views across the surrounding landscape and a family bathroom.

Outside, the property is complemented by a garden, parking, and far-reaching countryside vistas — an ideal setting for those seeking a rural setting.

This is a wonderful opportunity to purchase a cottage with scope to make your own (subject to any necessary planning and building control notices), all in a tranquil rural location.

Outside
The cottage enjoys gardens to the front, side and rear, mainly laid to lawn and enclosed by post-and-rail fencing and mature hedging. From here, there are views across the surrounding countryside, creating a wonderful setting to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The property benefits from two parking spaces.

Please note the cottage is approached via a private road, with future owners required to contribute towards its maintenance. The property is connected to mains drainage (overseen by Thames Water) via a private drain, for which a maintenance contribution will also be required. Further details are available from the selling agents.

Situation
The cottage occupies a wonderfully tranquil position, about two-thirds of a mile from the picturesque hilltop village of Binsted. At the heart of the village is The Binsted Inn, a much-loved local pub, together with a church, village hall, primary school and recreation ground. A lively calendar of events and the presence of tennis and croquet clubs foster a warm and active community spirit. Set amidst rolling Hampshire countryside within the South Downs National Park, the area offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling and outdoor pursuits. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the cottage is ideally located between the historic market towns of Alton and Farnham, both brimming with character, independent shops and markets, and each with a mainline station providing direct services to London Waterloo. The nearby village of Bentley, just 3 miles away, adds to the appeal with its own primary school, village shop and railway station. Meanwhile, Alton offers a wide choice of High Street and specialist stores, including Waitrose and M&S Simply Food, as well as leisure facilities ranging from a sports centre to two local golf courses.
