Nestled within approximately 2.65 acres on the edge of the picturesque Candover Valley, Carpenters Cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. This character-filled home features a blend of original elements alongside family-friendly space, making it perfect for anyone seeking a private retreat with potential for modern updates. The inviting dining hall seamlessly flows into a bespoke kitchen outfitted with handcrafted cabinetry, quality surfaces, an electric AGA, and an open fireplace that serves as a traditional centerpiece.
The dual-aspect sitting room boasts lovely views over the gardens and includes an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, while an additional family room or study with French doors opens to a practical wine cellar below. On the first floor are four generously sized bedrooms accompanied by two bathrooms, rich in character features. A second-floor attic room offers extra storage options.
Above the garage lies a versatile ancillary space complete with its own kitchen area and shower room—ideal for guest accommodation or as a home office—subject to any necessary consents. The property is set in beautifully maintained wraparound gardens that invite landscaping possibilities and features extensive parking along with substantial garage storage. Additionally, traditional stone outbuildings present exciting conversion opportunities.
A large adjoining paddock enhances the appeal for equestrian uses or recreational activities and comes complete with its own clay pigeon tower. Abundant walking paths lead from the property into nearby Woodland Trust lands, offering excellent dog walking or rambling opportunities. Close to Burkham's amenities and well-connected roads and railways to Alton, Basingstoke, Winchester, and beyond, this property is not just a home but also an investment in charm and potential.
