Lying just a few miles north of Winchester, Sutton Scotney is popular with those seeking a country lifestyle yet within easy reach of commuter routes, both road and rail, and quick connections to city amenities. The village is a welcoming community with local amenities and lovely walks in the surrounding countryside.

This is the setting for a modern, semi-detached cottage built a couple of years ago to a good design with a nod to contemporary trends including wood flooring, skirtings and internal doors and smart fittings in the kitchen and bathroom.

Open plan living on the ground floor is equally appealing to young professionals, a small family or older folk downsizing. The front door opens to an entrance hall at the rear of which is a utility area and cloakroom, with a door to the well fitted kitchen which gives way to the dining area and sitting room, all linked by a smart wooden floor. Glazed doors open at the rear to the neat garden.

The staircase has a contemporary glass balustrade and rises to the first floor where there are two bedrooms, both which will accommodate a double bed, and the bathroom.

A distinct advantage of this cottage is the plentiful parking for two or three cars and the garden at the rear is enclosed and simply laid out with a paved patio and lawn with an established hedgerow marking the boundary.

Offers in excess of £300,000 are invited by Fox & Sons and enquiries should be directed to the Winchester branch on 01962 862121.
