Set within approximately 2.65 acres in an idyllic and tranquil position on the edge of the beautiful Candover Valley, Carpenters Cottage is a charming character home, ideal for people wanting privacy and seclusion.
This much-loved property blends original features with comfortable family living, with exposed timbers and charming architectural details throughout. The welcoming dining hall flows naturally into the bespoke kitchen, fitted with handcrafted cabinetry, quality work surfaces, an electric AGA, separate hob and oven, and an attractive open fireplace creating a warm and traditional focal point.
The dual-aspect sitting room enjoys delightful views across the gardens and features an inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, while a separate family room/study with French doors provides an ideal additional reception space with access to a useful wine cellar below.
The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms, with distinctive character features in abundance. A further second-floor attic room provides useful storage.
Above the garage is a great ancillary space incorporating a kitchen area and shower room, ideal for guest accommodation, multi-generational living or home office use, subject to requirements.
Outside, the property occupies a wonderfully peaceful and level plot with beautifully enclosed wraparound gardens, predominantly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. A generous terrace to the front of the house provides an excellent setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The property is approached via a private driveway leading to extensive parking and a substantial garage building offering excellent storage. Additional traditional stone outbuildings present exciting potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
A large adjoining paddock extends to the south of the property and is perfectly suited to equestrian, recreational or pasture use, complete with a clay pigeon tower. There is exceptional dog walking/rambling in the Woodland Trust land direct from the doorstep, and there are horse riding opportunities nearby. Gliding takes place at nearby Lasham Airfield.
