This charming period long-cottage combines traditional character with practical family living in a peaceful Hampshire village. The double-aspect rooms and French doors bring abundant light into the sitting room and kitchen/dining space, while a large south-facing rear garden backs onto open farmland for privacy and outdoor space. Stables, a timber double garage and extensive driveway add versatile outbuildings and generous parking for equestrian or hobby use.
The principal bedroom includes an ensuite and there are three further bedrooms plus a ground-floor bedroom/dressing room, offering flexible accommodation for families or guests. Fitted hand-painted kitchen units, a utility/boot room and a shower room make the layout convenient for everyday life. The oil-fired central heating and mains services are in place; the private drainage system currently complies with regulations.
Location is a clear strength: Bighton is a close-knit village with a popular pub and village hall, and Alresford’s Georgian centre is just three miles away. Good local state and independent schools are within easy reach, and Winchester and Alton provide further amenities and rail links. The setting suits buyers seeking country living with easy access to outdoor pursuits.
Important practical notes: mobile phone reception is effectively non-existent and broadband speeds are very slow — factors to consider for home-working or connectivity needs. Council Tax Band G is relatively high. Anyone valuing rural tranquillity, large gardens and ancillary buildings will find genuine appeal here, while buyers who need strong digital connectivity should factor in upgrades or alternatives.
