Newton Lane, Newton Valence, Alton, Hampshire, GU34

The property is a characterful three bedroom terrace cottage situated in a pretty semi-rural location, with front and rear gardens, parking and garage, offered with no onward chain.

The cottage exudes charm, preserving the distinctive qualities of its original design. Internally, the rooms boast ample natural light through large windows, while the exterior showcases a blend of tiles and rendered surfaces beneath a classic slate roof. Noteworthy features include a sizable open-plan kitchen/dining area, enhanced by dual double doors leading to the rear garden. The kitchen itself is equipped with custom cabinets, pan drawers, a butler sink, breakfast bar, and a cooker/range. Further enhancing the accommodation is a separate sitting room graced with a fireplace and a cozy wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer quaint and comfortable living spaces, complemented by a tastefully appointed bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, pedestal wash-hand basin, and WC. Additionally, a shower/cloakroom on the ground floor adds convenience and functionality. Set in a peaceful village locale, the cottage provides a delightful retreat with scenic views, surrounded by well-maintained gardens that include a practical garden utility store and a paved terrace for outdoor seating making it perfect for summer dining. There is a separate seating area at the bottom of the garden overlooking the farmland and a ‘Shepherds Hut’ which is available by separate negotiation. Completing the ensemble is a gravel parking area adjoining the village lane providing space for two cars and a separate single garage with parking and storage space above.

The property is in a peaceful and picturesque setting for residents to enjoy and is being offered with no onward chain. An internal viewing is strongly recommended to fully appreciate what this enchanting country cottage can offer. The property had planning permission granted in 2019 (SDNP/19/04511/HOUS) for the reconstruction of the ground and first floor area to provide improved kitchen, dining and bedroom facilities. This has now lapsed but the current owner is looking in to having this application reinstated.
