Character brick and flint Cottage

Potential to Extend STPP A rare opportunity to acquire a detached brick and flint cottage, which was formerly two properties and has been sympathetically developed into one home. The cottage has been in the same ownership for many years and would ideally benefit from modernisation and up-dating. There is also an opportunity to extend the existing accommodation subject to the necessary planning consents. The property has a garden area extending to approximately one acre and an adjoining paddock which extends to something approaching 1.5 acres. Set in a semi-rural location just to the south of Winchester this detached cottage is constructed of brick and flint elevations under a slate roof and the accommodation is approached via a side entrance that leads to a covered lobby with an outside wc. A door then leads into the main utility room and this leads to a good size kitchen/breakfast room which has built in units and plenty of space for a table. The main living room has a feature brick fireplace and the original front door to one of the cottages, to the rear of this room is a secondary staircase to the first floor. A second reception room is located off the living room and this also has a fireplace. To the rear of the cottage there is a lobby which leads to the second utility room, a ground floor shower room and separate w.c.

On the first floor there are four bedrooms (two of which are intercommunicating) and a family bathroom. There are built in cupboards in two of the rooms and from the end room there is a door to the rear garden. The gardens and paddock are a particular feature of this property. The approach is over a small track/driveway and there is a detached Garage which is in need of replacement, there are a number of outbuildings within the garden area, all in various states of repair, these include stores and greenhouses. The plot is on a slope and the rear garden has become somewhat overgrown but there is still evidence of a soft fruits area and an area that would have been a vegetable plot, there is also grassed areas and a number of established trees and shrubs and an abundance of wild flowers. A pair of gates lead to the enclosed paddock which we understand extends to approaching 1.5 acres and this has a separate entrance gate at the beginning of the drive. Morestead is a village in the South Downs, about 3 miles (5 km) southeast of Winchester. According to the Post Office the 2011 Census was included in the civil parish of Twyford. The village is part of the civil parish of Owslebury and Morestead. The village lies on rising downland adjacent to the ancient Roman road from Portchester to Winchester. Morestead is predominantly a farming community and there are racehorse training stables. The ancient Parish Church has no known dedication; that appears to have been forgotten in the mists of time. SERVICES Mains electricity, private water supply, oil fired central heating and septic tank drainage. LOCAL AUTHORITY INFORMATION Winchester City Council Council Tax Band: D
