Hurstbourne Tarrant, Andover, SP11
A charming detached period cottage with a wealth of character situated in the heart of the village
Property Details
DESCRIPTION
A recently modernised detached period cottage, constructed of colour washed elevations under a mainly slate roof/part flat roof to rear, which we understand was extended approximately eight years ago. The cottage (which benefits from electric radiators that can be individually programmed to suite Economy tariffs) has a wealth of character with numerous exposed beams and timbers. The accommodation comprises a pleasant sitting room with fine inglenook fireplace, a newly fitted kitchen with breakfast bar and a dining room/bedroom two to the rear, which overlooks the courtyard garden. To the first floor there is the main bedroom with fitted wardrobe cupboards the complete width of the room, and a separate bathroom, which has also been newly fitted.
Agent’s Note: The property would ideally suit perhaps a first time buyer, those looking for a second home or perhaps for letting purposes.
LOCATION
The property is situated in the heart of the village of Hurstbourne Tarrant which has a Post Office/store, church, primary school, garage/petrol station and public house. There are bus services to Newbury (about 10½ miles) and Andover (about 6 miles), where a more comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities can be found. Andover also has a mainline railway station providing services to London (Waterloo is approximately one hour), and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London via the M3 and the West Country.
