High Street, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

AN ATTRACTIVE PERIOD COTTAGE, QUIETLY SITUATED IN A TUCKED AWAY POSITION BEHIND THE HIGH STREET TOGETHER WITH A HANDFUL OF OTHER PROPERTIES

An end of terrace period cottage, one of just four, constructed of attractive brick/flint/smooth rendered elevations beneath a slate roof with mainly UPVC double glazed windows. The compact accommodation comprises a sitting room with open fireplace and kitchen with space for a small dining table. To the first floor there are two bedrooms and a bathroom/wet room. Outside there is a private secluded garden to the front of the cottage which is laid to astroturf. There is also a small area of freehold land to the side of the path leading to the terrace from the High Street. Each of the cottages has the benefit of this land which offers space to erect a shed or create a raised vegetable bed.

The property is situated along a private gated pathway, set well back from the High Street and close The Common providing walks next to the River Test, and yet also within a short level walk of all local amenities. Stockbridge offers a broad variety of independent shops, a Post Office, hotels and bars, tea rooms/restaurants, churches, a doctors’ surgery and primary and secondary schools. The cathedral cities of Salisbury and Winchester and the abbey town of Romsey are all within a twenty minute drive, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country. There are also mainline railway stations in Winchester and Andover (both about a fifteen minute drive away) as well as Grateley (about ten minutes’ drive) with fast trains to Waterloo.
