Chawton, Hampshire, GU34

Southfield Farm Cottage is a four-bedroom period house set in the countryside around three-quarters of a mile south of Chawton. Its accommodation includes a sitting room with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove, a dining hall and a twin-aspect study. The kitchen and breakfast room has space for a dining table, fitted cabinets, work surfaces and a range cooker, with double doors opening to a terrace. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor. Upstairs are four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with an en suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom. A detached studio and substantial store provide additional space for work, hobbies or storage. The listing notes that permission was previously granted for a replacement outbuilding with ancillary accommodation, but that consent has lapsed. Any future proposal would require the necessary permissions. The grounds include lawns, mature planting, an orchard, hedging and two terraces. A gravel drive provides parking and access to an open-fronted barn, store and studio. Chawton has a primary school, church, pub and cafe, while nearby Alton offers shops, schools and a railway station with services to London Waterloo. The A31 connects to the A3 and M3.
