Set within the South Downs National Park, in the idyllic Itchen Valley, Sevington Cottage is the perfect hideaway for those seeking a secluded rural haven. The property is surrounded by beautiful countryside, with outstanding views over water meadows from the house, and lovely walks from the doorstep to popular pubs in Tichborne and Cheriton. The overall plot measures some 3.1 acres, and consists of attractive cottage gardens with a southerly aspect, a large field/paddock, grass tennis court, croquet lawn, swimming pool area, garaging, outbuildings and extensive parking.
The house is approached from the driveway, with the front door opening to a welcoming entrance hall, where there is a cloakroom and coats cupboards. This leads through to the dining room, from where stairs go up to the first floor. An arch from the dining room leads to the spacious sitting room, which features a Jetmaster wood-burning stove and window to the front. There is a study and a sizeable garden room off the sitting room. The kitchen/breakfast room features an oil-fired Esse Stove (incorporating twin burners which also provide central heating and hot water) and has a range of fitted kitchen units and space for a table and chairs. An adjoining utility room has a door to the garden.
Upstairs, on the central landing, there is a loft hatch with a fitted extending ladder, allowing access to a sizeable boarded, insulated and plastered attic room, which has double glazed skylight windows, in addition to the gable window. The principal bedroom enjoys stunning views over the water meadows, and has its own en-suite shower room, wardrobe and dressing area. There are three further double bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobes, and a separate family bathroom.
There is extensive parking for a number of cars on the driveway, with an additional timber and corrugated iron garage and adjoining workshop and storage. The attractive gardens surround the house, and have been landscaped over the years to provide a high level of privacy and seclusion. The garden has several areas for relaxation and entertaining, including a southerly-facing terrace adjoining the rear of the house, a swimming pool area including an above-ground pool, a sheltered croquet lawn and a grass tennis lawn. Beyond the garden is a large, fenced paddock which rises towards the southern boundary, from where there are some wonderful panoramic views across the Itchen Valley.
Tichborne is a small village located in between the market town of Alresford and the larger village of Cheriton. It is off the beaten track with little passing traffic, but is conveniently located just 5 minutes' drive from Alresford, where there is a range of independent shops and traders, and about 15 minutes from Winchester, where there is a more extensive range of shops and facilities. Tichborne is surrounded by attractive Hampshire countryside, with lovely walks in various directions, some of which follow The River Itchen, a natural chalk stream known for trout. There are a vast selection of great schools, colleges and universities within the local area which are accessible via a regular bus stop only a couple of hundred yards' away at Mill Cross, giving access to Alresford, Winchester & Petersfield.
