Property description

PROPERTY SUMMARY ‘Ashcombe House‘ sits on the outskirts of the charming and historic village of Hambledon, which lies within the South Downs National Park. Known as the cradle of cricket, the village has an outstanding history, boasting a church dating back to the 11th Century Saxon era and many beautiful old buildings. The village has excellent primary school facilities, a welcoming local pub and two shops; it is even becoming well-known for its vineyard and sparkling wine production. Hambledon is set in typical southern English countryside within the South Downs National Park, with plenty to keep walkers and wildlife enthusiasts occupied. The cottage, surrounded by sweeping farmland and splendid woodland, dates back to the Victorian era, its traditional façade belying the interior which has been sympathetically modernised and updated by the current owners. The accommodation is arranged over two primary floors and comprises: hallway, living room, dining room / family room and a country-style kitchen on the ground floor, with three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. There are double glazed sash style windows to primary rooms, stripped and stained floorboards, panelled doors and feature cast iron surround fireplaces, typical of the era. The property extends back onto formal gardens, which in turn back onto woodland. Offered with oil fired central heating, double glazing (where stated) and having the benefit of an outside w.c. and separate utility room, off road car parking and woodland surroundings, early internal viewing is strongly recommended in order to appreciate both the accommodation and location on offer.
