4 bed detached house for sale

Itchen Stoke, Alresford, Hampshire SO24

A spacious and characterful Grade II listed thatched cottage, beautifully positioned in the heart of the Itchen Valley, offering sweeping views of the surrounding countryside.

This charming home has been tastefully extended and more recently refreshed internally, combining period charm with modern comforts. The driveway has been thoughtfully reconfigured, enhancing the property's curb appeal while also increasing the available off-road parking.

A gated entrance leads to the spacious driveway and a detached double garage. Internally, a welcoming entrance porch opens into a generous hallway with an understairs cupboard and feature fireplace. To the left is a cosy family room, flooded with natural light from a large bay window.

To the right, the sitting room—divided into two functional spaces—features a second fireplace in the front section and flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast room at the rear. The kitchen is well-equipped and complemented by a separate utility room, while a guest cloakroom completes the ground floor.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues to impress with three double bedrooms, two of which enjoy en-suite facilities, along with a fourth single bedroom and a well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside, the majority of the garden lies to the front of the property, featuring a well-kept lawn, mature borders, and a small pond. To the rear, the garden rises steeply, with narrow paths on either side leading up to an elevated summer house, perfectly placed to take in the stunning countryside views to the rear.
