Summary - CHUTE COTTAGE OLD HILL WHERWELL ANDOVER SP11 7JB
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Large period cottage with mature garden and flexible family living in picturesque Wherwell.
Five double bedrooms, principal suite with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe
Chute Cottage is a spacious, characterful five-bedroom home dating from 1720, arranged over interesting split levels that create flexible family living spaces. The first-floor drawing room is a standout: vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and a wood-burning stove create an atmospheric hub adjacent to the principal bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The kitchen has been updated to a contemporary standard and links to a utility room, pantry and cloakroom for practical day-to-day use.
The mature, well-planted garden and paved terrace run the length of the house and provide a private, sheltered outdoor living area. A gravel driveway, off-street parking for a couple of cars and a garage with internal access add useful convenience. Broadband speeds are fast and there is no flood risk.
Practical considerations include oil-fired central heating and cob construction, both of which carry ongoing maintenance responsibilities; the property is listed as having double glazing but installation dates are unknown. The split-level layout and multiple short stair flights give character but may be less suitable for mobility-restricted buyers. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the house, while well-maintained, will retain periodic conservation-style upkeep typical for a pre-1900 rural cottage.
Set in the picturesque village of Wherwell, the location offers a primary school, village hall, pub (currently being refurbished), riverside walks and easy road and rail links to Andover, Winchester and London. The house will suit families seeking a large, historic home with privacy, garden space and abundant period charm, and buyers should factor ongoing maintenance and heating costs into their plans.
