Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A Grade II listed end of terrace period cottage constructed of attractive Flemish bond brick elevations beneath a thatched roof (which has been replaced within the last two years). The property was cleverly extended by the current owner in 2007 to provide extensive ground floor accommodation, constructed of mainly brick and timber clad elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The present accommodation which provides a successful combination of traditional and modern living, comprises a large open plan living area with oak kitchen, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and space for a good size dining table as well as a living area with bay window and French doors opening onto a patio area. There is also a cosy sitting room with inglenook fireplace (ideal for a wood burning stove), two double bedrooms and a luxury bathroom. The property benefits from oil fired central heating with under floor heating to the main living area. Outside there is a cottage garden which lies to the front of the property, however the good sized main garden lies to the rear of the cottage and includes an enclosed courtyard patio area with steps rising to the main lawn. To the rear boundary there is a generous off road parking area together with a good size garage/workshop, which was also constructed in 2007.
LOCATION
1 Tolleys Cottages is situated in an idyllic tucked away position at the end of a quiet country lane on the edge of the village of Chute Cadley, a Conservation area renowned for its many period homes. The neighbouring village of Upper Chute has a church and public house, however a more comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to London Waterloo (in just over an hour), can be found in Andover, approximately eight miles distant. There are three local primary schools at Appleshaw, Vernham Dean and Hatherden, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
