3 bedroom semi-detached house

Beautifully positioned in the heart of the picturesque village of Nether Wallop and overlooking the crystal clear Wallop Brook, is this fine example of a quintessential Grade II listed thatched cottage. Believed to date back to the 16th century and featuring in many of the earliest photographs of Nether Wallop, the cottage has been meticulously restored to create a stunning family home, which retains all the wealth of character and charm associated with its era, including exposed beams, an exquisite open fire place and rustic oak flooring, subtly blending with all the requisites of modern living. Although wonderfully quaint, the accommodation is surprisingly spacious, in excess of 1300 sq ft with well proportioned reception rooms, including an impressive sitting room with Inglenook fireplace and separate home office/study. The beautiful kitchen/dining room extension is well equipped with eye and base level units extending to a central island and affords superb natural light via sliding patio doors to the garden. A shower room completes the ground floor. The first floor features three bedrooms, served by the stylish in-keeping family bathroom. The delightful cottage garden is well stocked and provides a high degree of privacy offering a peaceful retreat whilst enjoying an enviable position on the fringes of the village square amongst similarly prepossessing character homes. This is a rare gem, allowing the perfect opportunity to experience village life, in the most exquisite of historic homes.
