Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A delightful brick and flint period cottage (believed to date back to 1709) which has been extended in recent years to provide a new rear lobby, utility room and shower room. (The new utility room could possibly be converted to a third bedroom, if required). The cottage is constructed of brick and flint elevations under a thatched roof. The new extension is constructed of brick with flint panels under a mellow tiled roof. The cottage boasts a wealth of character with numerous beams and timbers and a particularly fine inglenook fireplace in the sitting room.
LOCATION
The property is situated along a quiet ‘No Through’ country lane with other period properties in the picturesque hamlet of Quarley, which has a fine 13th Century Norman church, village hall and bus service. The neighbouring village of Grateley, about 1½ miles away, offers a Post Office/store, primary school, public house and railway station providing fast services to London in just over the hour. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester are both within approximately 30 minutes’ drive and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
