4 bedroom house

Set on a wonderful mature plot of over 0.5 acres is this deceptively spacious four bedroom period cottage with exposed timber beams, believed to date back to the 17th century. Set close to the centre of the pretty village of Swanmore, the property is steeped in character, comes with a large double garage accessed from the rear, and offers a surprising amount of living space including potential for a self-contained annexe. The ground floor features a spacious sitting room with an impressive open fireplace with a solid wood beam mantle. There is a separate dining room, a kitchen/breakfast room with a walk in larder/utility room, an entrance hall and cloakroom. A further inner lobby leads to the fourth bedroom, a shower room, and a study/fifth bedroom - these rooms have separate external access and could therefore be used as an annexe. The first floor comprises three further double size bedrooms, and a large family bathroom. Outside, the extensive gardens are an absolute delight, stocked with vast variety of shrubs and trees, and with several outbuildings including a summerhouse, a large timber workshop, and the large double garage set underneath a paved terrace. There is parking for several vehicles on the shingled driveway situated to the rear of the property, approached via a private access road.

The picturesque village of Swanmore, nestled in the Meon Valley, with the popular villages of Bishops Waltham and Wickham close by. The property is a short walk to local amenities including the well regarded local Primary school, Swanmore College, convenience store, and village Pub. The Meon Valley Country Club with its extensive leisure and golfing facilities are also within a short drive. Communications are excellent with the M3, A34 and M27 within easy reach providing access to London and the south coast.
