The cottage retains all of the inherent character of the original building
with well - proportioned rooms with large windows and attractive part tile and
rendered elevations beneath a slate roof. Features of note include a large
open plan kitchen/dining room with two sets of double doors opening out to the
rear garden. The kitchen is fitted with a range of bespoke cabinets and pan
drawers together with a butler sink, breakfast bar and cooker/range. The
generous accommodation also includes a further separate sitting room with a
fireplace and wood - burning stove. There are three bedrooms to the first floor
and a bathroom. The bathroom has been fitted with a roll top bath together
with a pedestal wash - hand basin and WC. Of note, there is also a
shower/cloakroom set to the ground floor. The cottage provides a wonderful
haven in a tranquil village setting and is complemented by a well - tended
garden (with a useful garden store) and garage. Of note and if required,
planning consent has been granted (lapsed December 2022) for an enlarged
kitchen/dining room to the ground floor and a remodelled principal bedroom to
the first floor (sdnp/19/04511/hous).
**Outside**
The garden is a very special feature of the cottage and provides a beautiful
setting with areas of lawn to the front and rear together with well -
established borders and lovely rural views. A paved terrace adjoins the
kitchen/dining room and provides an ideal outside seating area. There is a
further seating area to the rear of the garden with beautiful views over the
adjoining farmland. The 'Shepherds Hut' is available for sale by separate
negotiation. There is an area of shingle providing space for parking adjoining
the village lane and a further parking space to the front of the garage. The
oil tank is set within an enclosed area to the rear of the garage.
**Situation**
The active rural hamlet of Newton Valence has a Church and hall and is set
amidst fine Hampshire countryside between the villages of Selborne, Hawkley
and Farringdon within the South Downs National Park. Newton Valence also
adjoins Selborne Common (managed by the National Trust) which together with
the immediate countryside provides ample opportunity for many country
pursuits. The larger village of Selborne has a shop/post office, primary
school and a public house - The Selborne Arms. There is also a shop/post
office in the neighbouring village of East Tisted. The A31 at Chawton (about
3. 7 miles) and the A3 at Liss (about 5. 5 miles) provide routes to London, the
south coast and beyond. Alton and Petersfield collectively provide a range of
facilities as well as stations to London Waterloo.
