Rose Cottage is a delightful, very pretty period
cottage with light and spacious accommodation.
The property has been stylishly decorated
throughout, and great care has been taken
to retain the original character, with exposed
beams and original fireplaces. The ground floor
accommodation includes an attractive and cosy
sitting room with an inglenook fireplace with
bread oven, and adjoins a charming study which
has a feature wall of beautiful bespoke built-in
bookshelves, and a cast iron fireplace. Off the
inner hall there is a good-sized family bathroom.
The inner hall leads through to a large and
wonderfully light dining room/family room with
a polished wooden floor, cast iron fireplace and
French doors to the terrace and garden. The
kitchen is well fitted with a range of wooden
cabinetry, a Belfast sink and a range-style
cooker. Stairs lead up to the first floor where
there are two charming double bedrooms.

Rose Cottage is located in the pretty rural hamlet of Little London, surrounded by a lightly-wooded rolling landscape designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The nearby sought-after villages of Smannell and Hurstbourne Tarrant offer a range of excellent local amenities including highly regarded primary schools and popular pubs and there are very good village stores in nearby Enham Alamein, Hurstbourne Tarrant and St Mary Bourne. More extensive independent and high street shopping and leisure facilities are available in the market towns of Andover or Newbury respectively. The surrounding countryside provides excellent walking and riding opportunities and there is first class racing at Newbury, and golf at Andover, Newbury and Winchester. Transport links are excellent, with direct train services from Andover into London Waterloo, and the A34 and M3 giving easy access to the national motorway network, London and the west country. There are a number of excellent state schools within easy reach including Smannel, Hurstbourne Tarrant and Enham primary schools together with a good selection of noted independent schools including Farleigh, Cheam, Thorngrove and St Gabriel’s.

The property is approached from the village
lane and a shingle path leads to the front
door. There is a parking area to the side of the
property in front of the garage. The garden
surrounds the house and is mainly laid to lawn,
bordered by mature flowerbeds, shrubs and
trees. In one corner of the garden there is a
timber framed summer house surrounded by
bulbs and hellebores producing a stunning
display in the winter months. There is also
a terrace outside the dining room, ideal for
entertaining and al fresco dining, and a useful
garden shed and beautiful log store.
