April Cottage is a spacious five-bedroom detached period house set in an elevated, tucked-away position on the fringe of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house combines traditional character—whitewashed elevations, slate roof and chimney—with a generous, southerly facing landscaped garden and country views, making it well suited to families who value outdoor space and rural tranquillity.
Ground floor accommodation provides a large sitting room with formal dining area, a kitchen/breakfast room, useful side hall, two cloakrooms (one with laundry area) and practical pantry/utility space. Upstairs there are five bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate shower room and an en suite, offering flexible sleeping arrangements for children, guests or home working. A gated driveway adds privacy and secure parking.
Important practical points are straightforward and should be considered: the house is oil-fired (boiler and radiators), double glazing was installed before 2002, and the property’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation. Constructed before 1900, it retains period fabric that may benefit from targeted updating and ongoing maintenance. Council tax is described as expensive. There is no chain, which can speed a move for a buyer prepared for any necessary improvements.
Location strengths include peaceful village living less than three miles from Andover, close access to countryside walks and good road and rail links to larger centres. Local primary school options are nearby, and the setting will particularly suit buyers seeking a family home with character and outdoor space rather than those wanting a fully modern, low-maintenance property.
