An exciting opportunity to acquire an absolutely stunning Elizabethan residence dating back to the1600’s, extending to over 1700 square feet of characterful accommodation, situated in an extremely sought after location within a premier road in Stubbington,
This stunning Grade II listed timber framed cottage has been much loved by my clients, who have owned the property since 1962. The cottage is approached via a five-bar gate with a sweeping gravel drive leading to the cottage itself and in turn to the garages.
An oak framed porch leads to the Entrance Hall where the character of this cottage is immediately apparent; there is an abundance of exposed timbers, ceiling beams and fireplaces. There are three reception rooms, with ample ceiling heights; the sitting room is some 24ft in length and has a unique beehive fireplace with brick and tiled hearth, the dining room also centres on a brick open fireplace with an oak staircase to the first floor. The third reception room, currently used as a snug/study, could easily be utilised as a fifth bedroom for an elderly or disabled person as there are various ways that an ensuite bathroom/wet room could be easily added. The Kitchen/Breakfast Room is fitted with ample custom made, painted cupboards and a range of appliances. On the first floor, Bedroom One has built in cupboards and is dual aspect with delightful views over the wonderful garden. The further three bedrooms are generous in size and also overlook the stunning gardens. There is also a Family Bathroom with separate W.C.
Outside, the garden extends to 1/3 of an acre and perfectly complements the cottage, with beautiful, well stocked borders, glorious mature trees and clipped hedges and an extensive lawn providing delightful private seating areas amongst mature silver birch trees. There is also ample driveway parking for multiple cars and two garages, one with power and light.
There is a local co-op at the end of the road and Stubbington Village is only half a mile with a variety of shops, a Drs surgery, Dentist and Pharmacy. More comprehensive facilities can be found at Fareham, Whiteley, Portsmouth and Southampton. The property is a 5-minute drive from Hill Head beach where there is a family friendly sailing club and others can be found in Lee on Solent, Alverstoke and the Hamble. Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve covers some 369 acres of the Lower Meon valley where one can enjoy a relaxing walk and see a variety of wetland habitats containing a wealth of wildlife. It is a 15-minute drive to the Meon Valley and Bere Forest with lovely Pubs and only an hour from the New Forest National Park. For commuters rail links can be found at Fareham or at Southampton Airport Parkway with the latter running trains to London Waterloo in just over an hour.
