Halfway Cottage is a beautiful thatched cottage that has been a wonderful family home for the current owners for a number of years. The house is very well set in its superbly maintained gardens and has lovely views over the Test Valley. It is clear that Halfway Cottage has been very well looked after and has been sympathetically refurbished to allow light and space into the house while maintaining a wealth of period features.
The ground floor is very well balanced with a mixture of both informal and formal reception areas. The large drawing room with open fireplace, is perfect for entertaining, a spacious conservatory provides additional recreational space. The kitchen/breakfast room at the heart of the house is fitted with John Lewis of Hungerford cupboards and an integrated Aga. Stairs lead up to an upper storage and working area plus a utility room with butlers sink, there is also a cloakroom and wc. The dining hall with a central fire place links through to a snug and more informal seating space. Beyond the snug is a study ideal for working from home or a quiet space for study and homework.
Upstairs there are five double bedroom, four of which have built in storage. There are two family bathrooms, both of which have showers and baths as well as separate WC. The back bedroom has direct access to a bathroom and its own staircase into the study.
Overall the house has the feel of period charm with modern convenience overlooking a wonderfully private and well maintained garden.
The garden is a real feature of the property not only does it total just under one acre but because the house is situated towards the centre of the gardens it allows them to sweep around the property. The house is approached by a gravel drive way with a double garage and studio space above. There is a swimming pool with summer house and a beech hedge at the western edge of the garden with a secluded lawn and vegetable garden. While most of the garden is laid to lawn there is a wealth of planting and mature trees which would suit any aspiring gardener very well.
