A charming detached Grade II listed period home with immense character, set on a wonderful 0.25-acre plot in a highly sought-after Test Valley village.
Description
The Old Post Office occupies an exceptional position in the very heart of Longstock, one of the most sought-after villages in the Test Valley. Steeped in history and charm, this Grade II listed property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly individual home in an unrivalled location.
This charming cottage retains the character of its origins but is now in need of complete renovation. The accommodation is arranged over two floors, with a traditional layout that includes a welcoming sitting room, large kitchen, study, pantry and cloakroom on the ground floor, together with two double bedrooms and bathroom on the second floor. The layout coupled with the property's inherent character, offers immense scope for sensitive restoration, subject to the necessary consents. This is a wonderful property for those seeking to combine charm and character with potential; a rare opportunity to take on a Grade II listed building in one of Hampshire's most desirable villages, with a garden and position that set it apart.
The property enjoys a substantial plot extending to just over 0.25 acres, with a superb garden of remarkable size for a property of this kind. The garden stretches back to reveal glorious open views over the surrounding countryside, creating a sense of peace and seclusion whilst remaining firmly within the village core. Mature trees and generous lawns form a beautiful backdrop and provide an ideal canvas for landscaping or simply for enjoying the space and outlook.
There is also off road parking, which also has the potential to be expanded, stp.
