Chapel Lane, Timsbury, SO51

Wealden is a wonderful grade II listed detached cottage with charm and character throughout, which has been cleverly and most successfully extended and improved over recent years.

Wealden is a beautiful grade II listed detached property offering charm and character in an idyllic location, cleverly and most successfully extended and improved over time, and recently benefitted from a further refurbishment. The more modern part of the house, predominantly to the rear, adds further character which compliments and reflects the character of the original house. The generous and clever layout of the house works very well, with the accommodation being particularly flexible on the ground floor, offering the potential for buyers to adapt the space to suit their own needs. The country-style kitchen lies alongside the older part of the house and includes an Aga, ample space for a dining table, as well as abundant natural light. This leads through to the adjacent formal dining room, and on in to the drawing room, both of which have period casement windows, original fireplaces and authentic wooden beams. A large and substantial wood and brick conservatory/sun room offers a further dining space, oriented to the front of the property, with lovely views of the gardens. The very impressive spacious hall, with sweeping stairway, gives access to the newer part of the house including a lovely sitting room, study, large utility/boot room with direct garden access and a cloakroom. The stairs lead to the galleried landing which gives access to all of the bedrooms. The master suite has been created at the rear of the house which comprises a bedroom, with balcony overlooking the attractive gardens, a large en-suite bathroom and dressing area. The three additional bedrooms are arranged across the older part of the property in addition to a family shower room. The property has been tastefully re decorated, and benefitted from new flooring, adding to its charm.

Absolutely delightful and extensive gardens surround the property, offering many different and enchanting areas to enjoy at different parts of the day. These mature gardens include various lawned areas interspersed with fruit trees, plants and shrubs, spanning all sides of the house, all enclosed by new post and rail fencing and a five-bar gate. In addition, there is a very generous detached double garage, with space above plus ample parking for several vehicles on the gravel driveway.

Wealden is positioned in an enviably idyllic spot within the pretty Hampshire village of Timsbury, just to the north of the market town of Romsey. The house nestles at the top of a private lane in a highly tranquil and secluded, though not isolated, setting. The village has many amenities including a 15th century church, a pub, sports field and an active village hall. The thriving market town of Romsey is just over 3 miles to the south and offers a range of different shops, cultural and leisure pursuits. The beautiful and ancient city of Winchester lies approximately 12 miles to the East and offers a more comprehensive range of amenities, and the still larger conurbations of Southampton and Bournemouth, with their international airports and shopping centres are also easily reachable via major road links.
