West View Drive, Chilbolton, Stockbridge, Hampshire, So20

A MOST IMPRESSIVE AND EXTREMELY SPACIOUS DETACHED BUNGALOW FEATURING STUNNING LIGHT AND SYLISH OPEN PLAN LIVING, FOUR BEDROOMS AND A SOUTH FACING LANDSCAPED GARDEN IN A TUCKED AWAY AND QUIET RESIDENTIAL SETTING ON THE EDGE OF THE VILLAGE

A detached bungalow, extensively remodelled and extended in recent years, this property is incredibly deceptive, its true scale is not apparent from the front. To the rear, it opens into a stunning, predominantly open-plan living space featuring vaulted ceilings and expansive folding doors that open out at the corner onto the main terrace and garden. This impressive zone incorporates a living room, dining area, games space, and a kitchen breakfast area, complemented by an extended kitchen that also incorporates a discreet utility area. The property offers two substantial double bedrooms with vaulted ceilings and ensuite shower rooms, including a particularly well-designed and stylish principal suite, along with two further bedrooms and a large feature bathroom. Outside, there is a generous south facing private and quiet rear garden, with a gated drive and single garage adjoining the neighbouring property’s garage. Both homes are set off a long private drive serving just three properties, creating a wonderfully secluded feel. Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this home has to offer, with its idyllic village setting close to Stockbridge and Winchester.

The property is situated in the sought after village of Chilbolton which has a post office/store, church, village hall and public house. A second public house The Mayfly sits on the banks of the River Test. There are many excellent walks to West down and Chilbolton Common – a Designated Area of Special Scientific Interest and a renowned local beauty spot. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge, some four miles distant. Andover, also four miles away, offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are about a 15 and 25 minute drive away respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
