Farm Cottage, a delightful period property with its own detached barn, is for sale in the heart of Hampshire for £795,000.
Originally three cottages, this charming abode is packed with exposed beams and original open fireplaces. The cottage is bubbling with home comforts. Cushiony sofas and cream-coloured carpets offer warmth on chilly days, while the white-washed walls brighten up the whole inside space. Some rooms could do with updating, however, especially the kitchen.
The detached barn situated next door is arranged over two floors, with the ground floor currently used as a garage, workshop and storage room. Up on the first floor, you'll discover more exposed beams and open-plan spaces. With a beautiful thatched facade, the barn has scope to be converted into an annex, holiday home or office (subject to planning permission).
Sitting on a peaceful spot, the cottage garden is laid to lawn with established rose and shrub borders, as well as an original well. It feels quiet here, with your peace likely to be interrupted only by the tweeting of garden birds.
Farm Cottage is situated within the village of Monxton, a Conservation Area, which has a village hall and church. The ideal spot for countryside lovers, there is a lovely local pub, brilliant schools, and ample walking routes. For a peaceful weekend wander, head to the neighbouring village of Abbotts Ann — a lovely area with beautiful thatched properties.
This property is currently on the market with Myddelton & Major for £795,000.
