The accommodation is arranged around a welcoming kitchen fitted with an electric range cooker and a range of cabinetry, with adjoining utility and bathroom facilities. Beyond, the dining room enjoys attractive garden views and provides an excellent space for entertaining, while the light-filled family room flows into a conservatory with doors opening onto the garden. The cosy sitting room, centred around a wood-burning stove, offers a wealth of period charm and a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, including a spacious main bedroom with fitted wardrobes and additional built-in storage to the second bedroom.

Outside

The gardens are a particular highlight, enjoying complete seclusion and wonderful views across adjoining fields. A terrace adjoins the rear of the cottage, leading to expansive lawns, mature planting and established trees, including apple and walnut specimens. Situated within the grounds is a substantial former blacksmith’s forge, presenting an exciting opportunity for alternative use or future development, subject to the necessary consents. In addition, a former agricultural access from the road remains in place, offering potential for reinstatement as a secondary driveway and the creation of a garage or cart lodge, subject to the necessary planning permissions. Together, these features provide considerable flexibility and further scope to enhance the property over time. To the front of the property is gated off street parking for multiple vehicles.

Situation

Occupying a particularly picturesque position on Longwood Dean Lane, this property enjoys an enviable setting close to the village of Owslebury, with the South Downs National Park on the doorstep. Surrounded by rolling Hampshire countryside and with immediate access to a network of footpaths and bridleways, the location is ideal for those seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle without compromising on connectivity. The Milbury at Beauworth is a well-regarded village pub which has been extensively refurbished and is located within walking distance.

The nearby cathedral city of Winchester offers an extensive range of cultural, educational and leisure amenities, plus a mainline railway station providing direct services to London Waterloo.
