The Property:
Set in the idyllic village of Crawley, this beautiful cottage is believed to date from 1910. It has well proportioned rooms with high ceilings and has been extended with a garden room, which is open to the kitchen/dining room and has doors out into the lengthy rear garden. A sitting room has a fitted gas fire and is very cosy. On the first floor are two double bedrooms providing different aspects and a landing with a nook, suitable for a small desk/study space. There is also a refitted bathroom. The second floor has a loft conversion which creates a super third double bedroom with views over the garden towards the village cricket pitch. The windows were replaced in 2021. A lengthy rear garden stretches for approximately 150 feet and is made up of different 'rooms' that provide interest. Directly behind the cottage is a part walled terrace with raised planters, enclosed by a gate that opens into a lawned area with flower and shrub borders and a pergola. The garage has twin doors as well as a pedestrian door and is currently used as a neat gym arrangement. Beyond which is a gravelled parking for several cars (which is accessed via a shared driveway with 2-5 Post Cottages). The foot of the garden has raised vegetable beds and backs directly onto the local cricket pitch.
The Location:
Located in the highly sought-after village of Crawley, this cottage is just a short stroll from the award-winning Fox pub, the village cricket club, and miles of picturesque walking and cycling trails. The village itself is wonderfully active, with a welcoming community and a range of groups, including a cricket club, book club, amateur dramatics, cycling and rambling groups, and a lovely local church. Just ten minutes away, Winchester offers a vibrant blend of heritage and culture, with bustling cafés, independent shops, fine restaurants, and its famous cathedral. The delightful town of Stockbridge, only a few miles away, offers boutique shopping, gastropubs and fly fishing on the River Test. A large Waitrose lies just past the five-star Lainston House Hotel, only a short drive away. The property is ideally situated for families seeking top-tier education; Prep schools such as Twyford, Farleigh, and The Pilgrims' School are nearby, with school buses running from the village. For older children, St. Swithun's, Godolphin, and Winchester College are all within easy reach, while Peter Symonds College and Sparsholt College offer outstanding sixth form and vocational education options close to home.
