For Sale3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House in High Street, Selborne, GU34£595,000

A charming semi-detached cottage of great character with a landscaped garden standing in the heart of the village of Selborne. The cottage has been carefully extended to create a very appealing and interesting village home with bright, flexible and well proportioned accommodation. The living accommodation could be arranged to suit a variety of requirements and flows seamlessly between a kitchen/dining room, together with an Aga, and a triple aspect family room with bi-fold doors opening out to the landscaped rear garden. There is also a separate lovely sitting room with a fireplace. Of note, a side hall provides access to an adjoining utility area and cloakroom.. There are three bedrooms to the first floor including a large principal bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and views of the garden. There is also a bath/shower room finished with contemporary white sanitary ware and views of the garden. Careful thought and consideration was given to the extension of the cottage with the retention of fireplaces, use of local stone and timber framed double-glazed windows to complement and enhance the village setting. In addition, planning permission is still valid for the creation of a studio home office and car barn at the top of the garden to provide additional space for home working (SDNP/12/02821). An electricity supply is installed in preparation for this utility. Outside The mature landscaped garden is a unique feature of the cottage and provides a beautiful setting with a predominantly south-west aspect to the rear and views to the Hanger. The garden to the front is enclosed by mature hedging together with lime trees. Bi-fold doors open out from the sitting room to an enclosed outside seating area enhanced by seasoned oak retainers and a fig tree. Steps lead to a broad area of lawn with colourful flower and shrub borders and a wood store. A sweeping path leads to the rear gate and a generous parking area currently with a small detached single garage.
