3 Bed Character Property For Sale

Rarely does an opportunity arise to acquire such an iconic property in the heart of the historic village of Titchfield; this deceptively spacious Grade II listed cottage has recently been the subject of extensive sympathetic renovation works and now provides over 1600 square feet of immaculate and beautifully interior designed accommodation; this exquisite cottage has been thoughtfully curated by a local interior designer to showcase a chic and luxurious lifestyle. An original flagstone passageway lit by carriage lamps leads to the front door and immediately on entering the wealth of period features are immediately apparent evoking a deep sense of history with exposed beams, original flooring, doors and fireplaces. The rooms on the ground floor are well proportioned; the Sitting Room has exposed beams and centres on a beautiful brick inglenook fireplace with stone hearth and oak mantel; there is also an original deep storage cupboard. The hallway features the original flagstone and brick floor with two large understairs cupboards.   The Kitchen/Dining room has lovely high ceilings and a brick fireplace with marble tiled hearth, this wonderful space has been fitted to the highest possible standard with Karndean plank effect flooring, cashmere Shaker style cupboards, stunning quartz marble effect worktops and full height splashback with designer curve and a Classic Rangemaster cooker.  Adjacent is the spacious Butler's Pantry with Karndean flooring, Butlers sink, storage cupboards and washing machine.  The panelled staircase leads to the first floor with two spectacular double bedrooms; Bedroom 1 extends to 19 feet in length with original pine wide plank flooring, high ceilings and a feature fireplace with cast iron grate and slate hearth; this room has a large Georgian window which overlooks the garden and St Peter’s Church.  My client has skilfully added a bespoke Dressing Area to this room with wardrobe cupboards and chest of drawers, as well as introducing a stunning ensuite boutique bathroom with Karndean flooring, roll top bath, traditional high level WC, antique vanity unit with porcelain sink and dark green metro tiles.  Bedroom 2, a large double room, overlooks Titchfield village square and has extensive original wardrobe and storage cupboards.  A generous luxurious contemporary Shower Room compliments the bedrooms on this floor.  From the Landing there is a secret door concealing a staircase leading to a superb vaulted attic bedroom.  Outside the back door is a pretty garden with a large stone terrace and raised brick flowerbed.  At the end, passing over a passageway, is another garden belonging to the cottage which showcases stunning specimen flowering and scented shrubs, raspberry canes, an area of lawn and wooden gardeners shed.



Titchfield itself is a beautiful unspoilt medieval village, home to the oldest Anglo-Saxon church in Hampshire.  The village has a thriving community and people flock to the boutique shops, cafes and public houses to enjoy the relaxed and friendly vibe.  Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve is on the outskirts of the village where you can walk to Hill Head beach and Meon Shore.
