Enjoying a fabulous elevated position within the South Downs National Park, this semi-detached cottage is one of just two properties in a prime location overlooking open countryside. The village of Beauworth lies about eight miles to the east of Winchester and pretty thatched cottages arranged around the village green, together with the manor house and parish church, set the scene. Alresford is less than five miles away and has excellent local amenities, with the M3 and A3 both giving road access to London and the south coast with rail connections at Winchester, Alton and Petersfield.

Manor Cottage is set at the end of a short track from the village and the driveway has plenty of parking. Raised flower beds are a feature in the garden at the front with the majority of the rear laid to lawn where vegetable plots, established beds and fruit trees are enclosed by post and rail fencing with low hedging. Stunning open views over the neighbouring paddocks and fields can be enjoyed from the decked terrace and garden.

Dating back to the 1920s, Manor Cottage has been extended to create a family home more in tune with today’s lifestyle demands and the ground floor living space is particularly impressive with a combination of oak and tiled flooring, a sitting room with a wood burning stove, superb 31ft kitchen complete with Aga and French doors to the garden, small study and a family room. A utility room has access out to the garden via a rear lobby.

The split level landing branches off to a master bedroom with its own shower room, a guest bedroom with en suite cloakroom, two further bedrooms, a dressing room and family bathroom. From this upper floor there are lovely open countryside views from all the bedrooms.
