A stunning Grade II listed house in the heart of Appleshaw, Hampshire is being marketed by Savills.

The Long Cottage was originally built in the 18th century and it has been modernised and refurbished by the current owners to create a comfortable home. Features include exposed beams, limestone and oak floors, and clever lighting to create a traditional yet contemporary feel.

The thatch has been carefully maintained and repaired, with substantial works being carried out in 2012, all part of the meticulous works carried out using traditional materials in keeping with its historical charm.

A courtyard garden behind the house is accessed from the kitchen and sitting room and is ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. A further area of garden to the side of the house is mainly laid to lawn with some mature shrubs and is enclosed by a well-kept hedge.

Appleshaw is a pretty village surrounded by rolling Hampshire hills and a network of footpaths and bridleways.

The Long Cottage is being marketed by Savills Newbury for a guide price of £499,950. For more information, contact Savills on 01635 277700.
