5 bedroom house

Ewemove - Situated within the beautiful countryside of the South Downs National Park in the delightful village setting of Owslebury is this historic, 5 bedroom detached thatched cottage with much charm.

Believed to have been built in the 16th Century and later extended in the 1700s and 1960s, the property has a fantastic array of characterful features including beamed ceilings, brick inglenook fireplaces and wooden wall panelling, complemented by more modern additions. Throughout, the property has been restored by the current owners.

On the ground floor there are two reception rooms, a beautiful dining room situated in the centre of the property with original exposed brickwork and a fireplace as well as a large living room which is also includes a fireplace, 2 entrances and dual aspect windows. There is a modern kitchen as part of the extension to the rear, and also a spacious utility room to the left of the dining room, and access to a lower ground floor cellar (which is labelled on the floorplan as a -1st floor study).

The first floor bedrooms are arranged around a central landing and include a master bedroom with en suite, four further bedrooms (2 are part of the extension) and a family style bathroom, in addition to a separate cloakroom.

Surrounded by open countryside, the village of Owslebury is a very sought-after area that enjoys close proximity to picturesque walks along part of the South Downs Way and around National Trust properties. Owslebury is a delightful village that has beautiful countryside walks, a local school, St Andrews Church, and a village hall. There is the popular Ship Inn public house and a cricket ground that has been in use for approximately 150 years.

Families will appreciate the village's location close to Marwell Zoological Park (2 miles) and the cathedral city of Winchester (5 miles) with its extensive selection of shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. The area is well-linked to the M3 and wider motorway network, affording easy access to the M25 and Southampton. Winchester mainline station provides services to London Waterloo with journey times of about one hour.

To the front of the property there is a tarmac drive with parking for several cars in front of a detached double garage. The garden to the front of the property is laid to lawn with shrubs and hedges providing seclusion from the road. To the rear, the expansive garden benefits from a southernly aspect, a large vegetable patch with a greenhouse, and overall the plot totals approx 0.55 acre. The garden extends into a long natural stretch of woodland, with a natural path down the side that leads to a view of the fields behind.

The thatched roof was redone only 2 years ago.

This beautiful home is a Grade 2 listed building.

The property is currently under offer, however we will be starting viewings from the week commencing the 9th May if nothing is agreed.
