A delightful thatched cottage situated in the middle of Old Alresford, just five minutes' drive to the north of the popular market town of New Alresford. Victoria Cottage is Grade II listed and retains its character features, including beaked walls and ceilings, whilst having modern touches for 21st century living. It has an unusually large garden, with a useful office/summerhouse, a tandem length garage with workshop, as well as parking. There is planning permission in place for a sizeable single storey kitchen extension to the rear (Winchester City Council ref: 21/01094/HOU The cottage is approached via a picket gate and a path across the front garden. The front door opens to a hall and dining room, with wooden flooring and an old fireplace. A door opens to the spacious sitting room, also with wooden flooring and a wood burning stove set in the fireplace. Located behind the sitting room is a useful study, which could double as a third bedroom for guests, with a door to the garden. Off the dining room is a hallway with access to the bathroom, which has a white bath suite, and to the kitchen which has a number of kitchen units and drawers with worktops, tiled flooring and a door to the garden. Stairs from the sitting room lead up to the first floor, where there is a small landing and a loft access hatch. The main bedroom has a built in wardrobe, shuttered windows and a small ensuite cloakroom. The second bedroom also features a built-in wardrobe and shuttered windows. Outside, the garden wraps around the cottage and is contained by walling on two sides. There is a wonderful office/summerhouse, a corner arbour seating area, a main lawn, with two further paved terraces and a large garden shed.
