An attractive large detached house standing in over half an acre of mature grounds with a southerly facing private rear garden, quietly situated on the edge of this sought after central Test Valley village.
DESCRIPTION
A detached house with brick and part tile hung elevations beneath a tiled roof with plenty of off-road parking and a double garage. The mature plot extends to over half an acre featuring three beautiful maturing cedar trees to either side of the driveway and front garden. The rear garden has the considerable benefit of a southerly aspect and enjoys privacy. Properties seldom become available in Paddock Field – an exclusive small development of well-spaced large detached properties, all with good sized plots. Number 4 is situated to the rear of the development where there is a secure environment and is very peaceful.
LOCATION
The property is situated in a highly regarded small close of large detached properties on the very edge of Chilbolton which offers a variety of local amenities including a Post Office/store, church, village hall and public house. A second public house, The Mayfly, sits on the bank of the River Test and there is excellent walking at West down and also on Chilbolton Common – a designated Area of Special Scientific Interest. There is a reputable primary school in the neighbouring village of Wherwell, approximately 1½ miles away, and the picturesque town of Stockbridge is about 4 miles away. Andover (also 4 miles) offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are about 15 and 25 minutes’ drive respectively, and the A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country.
