This smartly renovated two-bedroom semi-detached cottage sits in the sought-after village of Durley and blends modern finishes with cottage charm. The ground floor’s flexible layout — lounge, separate dining room and a snug/study — suits home-working, family living or occasional guests. A contemporary fitted kitchen and Amtico-style flooring provide a low-maintenance, stylish interior throughout.
Outside, the south-facing rear garden has been landscaped for ease of upkeep with AstroTurf and a patio perfect for al fresco dining. A wide paved driveway offers off-street parking for two cars, a significant convenience on this street. The property is Freehold and presented in move-in condition after recent renovation works and made-to-measure shutters throughout.
Practical considerations are clear: there’s a single family bathroom and modest overall floor area (approximately 889 sq ft / 82.6 m²), so the home best suits couples, small families or commuters rather than large households. Broadband speeds are slow locally and area crime statistics are above average; buyers who need high-speed connectivity or highest-level security should factor that in. The property has a medium flood risk and sits on a small plot, although landscaping keeps ongoing maintenance minimal.
Durley’s rural setting, outstanding primary school and good road links to Winchester and the M3/M27 make this a strong choice for buyers seeking village life with commuter access. Overall, the house offers contemporary, low-maintenance living with some constraints around plot size, broadband and local safety metrics.
