An attractive double-fronted period cottage dating from the late 18th century, nestled in a delightful village setting on the edge of Avington Park, midway between Winchester and Alresford.
Ivy Cottage is located within the beautiful South Downs National Park, with attractive country walks from the doorstep. There are several good pubs nearby and a golf course in the village. The cottage is Grade II listed and retains many original features, which adds to its character and charm.
The front door opens to a lobby with stairs to the first floor. The delightful drawing room features a wood-burning stove set within a brick fireplace, with a hearth and wooden surround. A built-in cupboard and alcove bookshelves provide useful storage. The comfortable sitting room features some corner shelving, with a door leading to a well-proportioned kitchen/dining room that offers a range of fitted units, integrated appliances and an inset ceramic sink, as well as a door to the garden. A walk-in pantry offers plenty of storage and further space for appliances, with a door leading to the cellar.
There is a large walk-in cupboard on the first floor landing, with a door allowing access to stairs to the loft room. The generously-proportioned principal bedroom includes a storage room and adjoining en-suite bathroom. Off the landing is a second double bedroom and a family bathroom, with separate bath and shower.
Narrow stairs lead up to a light and airy loft bedroom, which spans the width of the house. Exposed beams and skylight windows give it a lovely open feel, and it is currently laid out with double beds in two distinct areas.
Outside, the five bar gate leads to a gravel parking area. The garden is south facing and is mainly laid to lawn with a terrace adjacent to the house and a gazebo dining area further up the garden. Within the garden there is an outbuilding which is currently used as a workshop/garden store.
The front of the property is partially enclosed by a wall and lovely grounds. There is a pedestrian gate leading to a flagstone path and flanked by mature hedging with a five bar gate leading to a gravel drive, substantial for several vehicles. There is also a wood constructed store within the garden.
Immediately behind the property is a sunken patio with the majority of the additional grounds being laid to lawn, various established fruit trees and shrubs are located around the gardens.
Planning has been approved for a re-modelling of the ground floor and a rear extension to be added to include a new kitchen/diner, bedroom/home office and bathroom. The planning consent has been commenced to ensure it is extant. South Downs National Park planning ref: SDNP20/05496/hous and sdnp/20/05497/lis).
