Houghton Down, Stockbridge, Hampshire SO20

A unique detached brick and flint cottage together with an outbuilding divided into two ancillary annexes, the main house has been remodelled and tastefully modernised with the enjoyment of a rural setting and stunning country views just one mile from Stockbridge High Street

East Lodge is a rural property located about a mile west of Stockbridge, with the High Street easily accessible by car or on foot via a path. Set in just over half an acre, the property enjoys an open southerly aspect across most of the site, with far-reaching countryside views. The main house has brick and flint elevations beneath a slate roof and offers well-presented, well-appointed accommodation. A spacious utility and boot room, formerly the kitchen/breakfast room, is complemented by a new centrally positioned kitchen/dining room, which forms the heart of the L-shaped living space and opens into a family room with a vaulted ceiling at one end and a dual-aspect living room with a fireplace and log burner at the other. On the first floor are two en suite bedrooms, a third bedroom and a newly fitted main bathroom. Many of the rooms enjoy the surrounding views, while the ground floor living areas open directly onto a south-west-facing terrace and garden. A detached outbuilding, currently arranged as two self-contained annexes/B&B units, adds further flexibility and makes East Lodge a versatile country home.
