Property description

A larger and individual semi-detached cottage of character and substance set off a village road with 3 double bedrooms and a Southerly rear aspect between Medstead and Four Marks villages.

Description
With Chawton Park Wood and a network of country lanes in the vicinity, the property is one of an interesting dissimilar pair and is believed to have originated as Boyneswood Cottages in the 1890s. The opportunity to buy this home also offers great potential to improve and enhance the existing accommodation. Characteristics include an open fireplace, several Travertine floors, pine internal doors and twin aspects to five of the rooms. Noteworthy for the extent of its accommodation, there is also leaded light double glazing and a gas heating system with thermostatic valves to the radiators. Both reception rooms, the conservatory and bedrooms one and three enjoy the Southerly rear aspect.

Location
The cottage is set away from this tree-lined village road and enjoys a main southerly aspect to the rear. It forms part of a small private scheme of these two older cottages and 3 individual detached houses built since 2010 and is located in the semi-rural South Easterly corner of Medstead, a traditional village providing local shops including a butchers and post office, primary school, St Andrew's Church, the Castle of Comfort pub, central village green and sports facilities, doctors and dental surgeries, local interest societies, and footpaths, bridleways and byways over the surrounding rolling countryside. Chawton Park Wood with its broad 'rides' is within 0.25 mile. The A31 at Four Marks leads to Alton, Farnham, Guildford and Winchester. This adjacent village offers alternative facilities including a shopping complex and M&S outlet within 0.65 mile, whilst Jane Austen's town of Alton is within 4.25 miles providing High Street shops, stores including Waitrose, M&S Simply Food and Sainsbury's, a station (Waterloo line), senior and Convent schools, an FE college, sports centre, fitness studios and cultural facilities. Alresford to the South West lists riverside walks, Broad Street, Perins academy school/sports college, and a Watercress Festival and Agricultural Show among its attributes. There are also golf courses in the area.
