Believed to have once comprised four separate cottages, Watercress Cottage is a truly distinctive home full of character and charm. Spanning over 3,000 sq ft, the property offers flexible accommodation ideal for modern family living. The impressive entrance hall, complete with an open fireplace, sets the tone for the rest of the home. Just off the hall is a well-appointed kitchen featuring a gas Rangemaster cooker, double Belfast sink, and a range of fitted units topped with granite work surfaces. A more recent addition, the garden room provides a light-filled and versatile space with beautiful views over the garden. It opens directly onto a generous patio area, -perfect for entertaining. This end of the house also includes a utility cloakroom and access to the integral garage. At the opposite end of the ground floor, you'll find a cosy sitting room with a log burner, along with two further rooms that offer excellent potential for a self-contained annexe, thanks to their own separate entrance.
Upstairs, two staircases lead to five bedrooms, including a walk-through room, and two bathrooms. The layout offers flexibility and could easily be reconfigured to suit a variety of family needs. All rooms enjoy lovely views over fields.

Outside
To the rear there is a landscape gardener designed terraced area perfectly suited to al fresco dining and entertaining. With the garden being professionally landscaped it is a fabulous space and includes a pizza oven, barbeque, double fridge, sink and log store. There is a single garage accessed over the generous gravel drive with plenty of parking.

Location
Watercress Cottage enjoys a prime position within the Conservation Area of the picturesque village of Hurstbourne Priors, nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is rich in period charm and community spirit, featuring a historic church, a village hall, and a traditional cricket green with a thatched pavilion.
Everyday amenities can be found in the nearby villages of Longparish and St. Mary Bourne, both offering a post office and local shop. The market town of Whitchurch, just 2 miles away, provides a wider range of facilities and a direct rail service to London (approximately 61 minutes).
The area is renowned for its outdoor pursuits, particularly fly fishing on the River Test and River Bourne. Excellent road links are available via the A34 (2 miles away), providing swift access to the Midlands, South Coast, London (via the M3), and the West Country via the A303.
