4 bed detached house for sale

This exquisite Tudor-era cottage, located in the tranquil hamlet of Alstone, is a Grade II listed four-bedroom home brimming with character and charm. Surrounded by picturesque cottage gardens, this property offers a perfect blend of period features and modern comfort, making it an idyllic retreat.

The home features two spacious reception rooms. At the front of the property, the elegant drawing room offers delightful views of the garden and St Margaret's Church beyond. This room is centered around a working wood-burning stove set within an open chimney, creating a cozy atmosphere for relaxing evenings. The second, more informal sitting/dining room is generously sized, with stairs leading to the first floor and a magnificent fireplace that serves as a stunning focal point. This fireplace could be reopened to accommodate an open fire or wood-burning stove. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room features another large chimney, currently home to a decommissioned Rayburn cooker that could easily be brought back into use. An additional entrance hall off the kitchen, presently used as an open larder and fridge store, offers convenient access to the outside. A utility room with a shower and WC completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, the property offers four generous double bedrooms, each with its own unique appeal. The primary bedroom, although not the largest, includes a dressing room and an en-suite shower room, providing a touch of luxury. Bedrooms two and four benefit from the convenience of wash hand basins, while the family bathroom serves the entire floor.

Outside, the enchanting cottage garden includes a versatile outbuilding converted into a delightful garden room equipped with electricity and mains water. This space has recently been used as a day room but could easily serve as an office, hobby room, or additional living space. The property also features a sloping driveway and a detached garage, offering ample storage and convenience.

This remarkable property combines historical charm with modern living, offering a unique opportunity to own a piece of Alstone’s rich heritage.
