4 bedroom house

DESCRIPTION

A recently extended and completely modernised detached cottage constructed of smooth rendered elevations beneath a tiled roof.  The property has been completely rewired and re-plumbed, with underfloor heating in the kitchen and all bathrooms, all other rooms have modern efficient electric radiators and double glazing throughout, and a new borehole pumping system was installed two years ago.  The stunning accommodation comprises an impressive double height reception hall with cloakroom, four reception rooms, a farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room with Rangemaster and bi-fold doors leading onto the terrace and garden, utility and boot room. On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, each with en suite bath/shower room, two featuring Juliet balconies.  The landscaped gardens and grounds extend to 0.34 acres with views over the adjoining countryside, also enjoyed from a recently created tiered garden comprising a sun terrace and raised kitchen garden.  There is off-road parking and a detached garage with workshop.

LOCATION

The property is just one of six properties, together with a farm, nestling in the quiet hamlet of Henley, with numerous footpaths, bridleways and byways providing lovely walks on the doorstep.  Shalbourne (3 miles) has a primary school, church, post office/village store and a pub.  The villages of Vernham Dean and Ham are within walking distance (about 30 mins) and both offer excellent pubs. The market town of Hungerford is about 6 miles, situated on the Kennet & Avon canal and has a train station with direct link into London Paddington (1 hour) as well as access to the M4.  Burbage and Andover are both within 10 miles and Marlborough 14 miles away, all offering shopping, educational and leisure facilities.
