For Sale3 Bedroom Semi-Detached Cottage in Marsh Court, Stockbridge So20£685,000

A charming semi-detached period cottage, one of four nestled in a peaceful rural setting on the southern edge of Stockbridge. With direct pedestrian access to the Test Way and Stockbridge Marsh and scenic walks across water meadows straight to the High Street. The property is full of character and charm, offering versatile accommodation across 2 floors. A slate covered porch leads into a welcoming reception hall with a terracotta tiled flooring and a garden room beyond which floods with natural light. The adjoining dining hall is the heart of the home, with a charming feature staircase, period-style panelling, and generous built-in storage. A cosy living room completes the ground floor, centred around a rustic open brick fireplace with a log-burning stove and offering lovely views and access to the garden. A downstairs shower room provides added convenience. Upstairs, the home includes three double bedrooms and a fourth room ideal as a study or occasional bedroom. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious with full-height windows overlooking the rear garden and mirrored built-in wardrobes. The dual-aspect second bedroom is light-filled and airy, while the third bedroom offers similar proportions and a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom is well-appointed with a bath, mixer shower, vanity storage, and partly tiled. The front garden is tiered and thoughtfully landscaped with specimen trees, rose borders, and a central gravel path leading to the entrance. To the rear, a raised terrace offers a wonderful space for entertaining, bordered by lilac and cherry trees and colourful flowerbeds. A standout feature is the oak-framed Loggia—a private, sheltered seating area with arched windows looking back toward the house. Beyond this lies a further garden enclosed by a high cob wall, once part of the estate’s kitchen garden, providing a peaceful haven. The property also benefits from generous block-paved parking and a substantial detached four-car garage/workshop with power and light. Location The Georgian market town of Stockbridge is less than a mile away from the house and has an excellent range of amenities including a primary and secondary school, boutiques, shops, restaurants, and a doctor’s surgery. The Test Valley itself is famous for its world class chalk stream trout fishing and within a few minutes of the property are some beautiful walks through the stunning Test Valley plus the Leckford golf course.
