Property Description
Clare Cottage is Listed Grade II and has colour washed cobb walls with a combed wheat reed thatch and pretty eyebrow windows. Originally two cottages, now combined to form a charming country home, the property retains most of its original features, including inglenook fireplace
with large bread oven, exposed beams, latch doors and leaded windows. There is also a double garage and separate large workshop.

The accommodation is as shown on the floor plan and includes a welcoming entrance hall leading into an impressive sitting room and very spacious garden room. This room includes an inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove with exposed beams to the ceiling. Large picture windows and doors open from the garden
room onto the terrace beyond.

The kitchen/breakfast room is of farmhouse style with slate flooring, a range of wall and base storage units, 4 ring gas hob and extractor, plumbing for dishwasher, integrated fridge/freezer and Alpha heating and cooking range. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room with Belfast sink. Accessed from the kitchen and the entrance hall is the dining room with inglenook fireplace, built in cupboard and exposed ceiling beams. Beyond the sitting room is an attractive study.

On the first floor is the impressive master bedroom suite with built in wardrobes, double aspect and steps up to a good sized en-suite with bath, shower, hand basin and w.c.. Three further good bedrooms, a large shower room with walk in shower, w.c. and hand basin, and a further
bathroom with bath, w.c. and handbasin complete the first floor accommodation.

Outside
Clare Cottage sits in a superb plot of approximately 0.65 acres. The house is approached from the minor Cholderton road through a gated entrance to a large gravelled
turning and parking area. A double garage, with electricity and light, lies to west of the house with parking to the front.

The large plot is a particular attraction of the house and to the front and side are areas of lawn, with well stocked borders containing a variety of shrubs, flowers and lavender. There is also a thatched feature well. Beyond the garaging is a large lawned area including a variety of specimen trees which add to the appeal of the property and the setting of the house.

To the rear is a very large workshop (47’11” x 11’6”), with double doors to one end, which is suitable for a variety of uses. Closer to the house at the rear is a landscaped area, terrace
and rockery including a water cascade and feature fountain.

The Location
East Cholderton is a small hamlet which is known for its picturesque nature and its ease of access to the A303 which in turn gives access to the A34/M3 and to the west country. The larger villages of Thruxton and Amport (with their schools and public houses are close by) whilst The White Horse Pub is only a short walk away. The larger
centres of Andover and Stockbridge are within very easy distance with Andover providing day to day shopping and recreational needs and Stockbridge renowned for its growing foodie reputation. Andover also has a mainline railway station providing trains to London Waterloo (1hr 11 mins) and Grateley Station on the same line is also within 5 miles. The Cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are both within a half hour drive. The area is well served by good
independent and state schools together with a grammar school in Salisbury. The new popular garden/shopping centre at Rosebourne is only a few moments away.
