A SINGLE-STOREY thatched cottage is described by its selling agents as "interesting and highly individual", after being modernised and extended.

The period cottage (pictured) stands in a large garden overlooking a paddock and close to Pamber Forest at its location in Forest Lane, Tadley.

In fact, the three-to-four-bedroomed home takes its name, Forest Lane Cottage, from its location.

The beamed sitting room has a wood-burning stove fitted into the inglenook fireplace and French doors out to the south-facing back garden.

Like the sitting room, the study has an exposed brick, storey-high inglenook, but with a bread oven to one side.

The dining room has wood laminate flooring and could become a fourth bedroom and share the family bathroom.

A butler's sink in the oak-fitted kitchen has a wooden draining board and the appliances are an oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

The adjoining utility room also has a butler's sink.

A double garage has been converted into a games room, and the cottage comes with a summer house and two sheds.

Forest Lane Cottage is being sold by Dreweatt Neate with a price guide of £400,000.

It is at the end of a no-through road, which gives access to Pamber Forest.
