Cottage given a fresh new look

11:37am Tuesday 22nd April 2008

A QUINTESSENTIAL black-and-white cottage in a Hampshire village has been extended and refurbished to come to the market with a price guide of £337,500.

Lees Hill, in the village of South Warnborough, is the setting for the listed Holly Tree Cottage, which is available through White & Russell.

The cottage, which is thought to date from the 18th century, has a wealth of character, such as exposed beams and brickwork.

The front door opens into a dining hall with a tiled floor and the beamed sitting room features an inglenook fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove.

Stretching across the back of the cottage is a newly-fitted kitchen, with cream units and wooden work surfaces, and a breakfast room.

Upstairs, the master bedroom has been extended to provide extra wardrobe space and an en suite shower room, and the accommodation is completed by a second bedroom and family bathroom.

Outside, a secluded patio area overlooks a garden that is mostly laid to lawn.

The selling agent said: "Our client has extensively refurbished and extended the property, resulting in it being wonderfully presented throughout, and offers versatile accommodation."
