Description

Welcome to a beautifully appointed, detached cottage of exceptional character and charm, nestled within the heart of the village. This unique home boasts an array of period features, blending rustic charm with modern comfort.

The property is distinguished by its superb vaulted kitchen/breakfast room with striking exposed flint walls and a spacious 21'9" (6.64m) sitting room, featuring multiple bi-fold doors that seamlessly connect the interior to the garden, creating an idyllic indoor-outdoor living experience.

The sitting room and dining room are anchored by a stunning double-sided brick hearth fireplace with a wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings. The dining room opens to the garden through elegant double doors, offering an effortless flow for entertaining. The snug exudes warmth with its small inglenook fireplace and original brick flooring, making it a perfect retreat for relaxation.

The vaulted kitchen/breakfast room is a chef’s dream, equipped with a range of custom cabinets, pan drawers, a butler sink, an induction range, and integrated appliances including a fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Additionally, the property includes a cellar/utility room for added convenience.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom offers a serene escape with an en-suite shower/bathroom, while three further bedrooms, including a versatile study/bedroom 4, provide ample accommodation. The family bathroom is thoughtfully designed with traditional sanitary ware, featuring pedestal wash hand basins, freestanding clawfoot bathtub, and a large walk-in shower.

For those looking to expand, the property previously received planning permission (now lapsed) for an extension that would include a new kitchen/breakfast room, additional sitting room, an extra bedroom, dressing room, and en-suite on the first floor (Ref: 29173/002). Another lapsed permission allowed for the creation of a new driveway and parking area (Ref: 29173/003).

Outside the cottage is surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds, offering a serene and private setting. The gardens include lush lawns, vibrant flower and shrub borders, mature hedging, and a charming vegetable garden. A variety of trees dot the property, adding to the picturesque views over the adjacent farmland. A strategically placed seating area is perfect for enjoying the afternoon sun. The property is accessed via a private gravel driveway, secured by five-bar gates, and offers parking for three cars.

Situated within the thriving and active village of Medstead, this cottage enjoys a central location just 0.2 miles from two nursery schools and a Church of England primary school. Medstead offers a close-knit community with a range of amenities, including the 'Castle of Comfort' Inn, a village shop, St. Andrew’s Church, and numerous clubs and societies catering to all ages—ranging from cricket and tennis to bowls and gardening.

The nearby market towns of Alton and Alresford provide further amenities, including secondary schools, a sixth-form college, and regular train services from Alton to London Waterloo. The village is also well-positioned for exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside, with footpaths leading directly from the property. The regional town of Basingstoke and the historic cathedral city of Winchester offer a broader range of facilities, with easy access to the M3 and mainline railway stations to London Waterloo.
