Cottage for sale in Hurst Lane, Owslebury, Winchester, Hampshire SO21

On the ground floor, the heart of the home is the impressive kitchen/dining area which is superbly presented with fitted units, granite work surfaces, integrated appliances and space for a fridge freezer and range cooker. A centre island provides a breakfast bar and the glass covered spiral wine cellar creates a striking feature. The well-proportioned sitting room centres on an exposed brick chimney breast with wood burning stove and has a dual aspect with French windows to the terrace and garden. In addition there is a study, separate family room and a later extension providing a utility room and cloakroom.

On the first floor, exposed beams add to the character feel of the property. The main bedroom has views of fields across the lane and has a well-appointed en suite shower room. The three further double bedrooms are of generous proportions and there is a beautiful family bathroom with roll top bath and separate shower cubicle.

Set back from Hurst Lane, with a pretty front garden, the majority of garden extends to the rear of the house. A stone terrace immediately to the back the house has a brick built pizza oven. Gently rising steps lead to a part walled garden with a lawn and mature shrub and flower borders. Adjacent to the house are four parking spaces and a double garage.

Set on the edge of Owslebury village and within the South Downs National Park, the semi-rural setting offers a wealth of footpaths and bridleways on the doorstep and yet does not feel isolated. The village has a pub, church and popular primary school. The property falls within Westgate secondary school catchment and there are many independent schools in the area. Nearby Winchester city centre has an excellent range of recreational, cultural and shopping facilities. Winchester and Shawford stations offer direct links to London Waterloo (approx. 1 hour) and the M3 motorway provides good road access to London and the south coast.
