In the idyllically rural village of Avington, near Winchester, this beautiful 2-bedroom terrace house is waiting to become your dream home.
This generous, south facing plot is the ideal setting for a storybook-perfect, Grade II listed, red-brick cottage. Pull the picket gate shut behind you as you step along the flower-lined path to the front door. Step inside and immediately feel at home inside the welcoming sitting room. This is a wonderful place to spend time reading a book by the wood-burning stove or simply relaxing in a space filled with character from its exposed wooden beams to its delightful period features.
Leading from the sitting room, the kitchen/diner provides the heart-of-the-home; a place to create and enjoy leisurely breakfasts, brew coffee to enjoy with friends or take a moment to gaze out the window over the lush rear garden. The décor, fixtures and fittings of this space are modern-farmhouse, which perfectly suits the property and its rural charm.
Completing the ground floor is a useful WC, understairs storage, and hall leading to the back door.
Upstairs, the principal bedroom is well-proportioned with views over the rear garden and useful built-in storage. The second double bedroom incorporates a desk into the alcove and also features a versatile mezzanine level. The two bedrooms share a generous family bathroom, finished in the same bright, tasteful aesthetic as the rest of the property.
Moving to the outdoor space, the large, south-facing rear garden is a tranquil oasis: private, green and perfect for enjoying time surrounded by nature. The paved patio is a suntrap and a lovely place for a spot of lunch or cup of tea while listening to the singing birds. Meanwhile, the extensive lawn, raised planting beds and greenhouse provide opportunities for green-fingered residents to hone their skills. The garden backs onto bucolic fields, completing the perfect image of country life.
Several useful outbuildings provide versatile spaces, a particular highlight of this property of the month being the utility/garden room complete with Belfast sink and washing/drying facilities.
In the village of Avington, you will become part of a small, friendly community. Beautiful St Mary’s Church is a focal point, providing services on a rota with other local churches.
