Countryside character

With spectacular countryside views of open farmland, on a private lane of just five houses, Stable Cottage offers an exceptional rural location near the prestigious grounds of Tylney Hall, Tylney Park Golf Club, and more. The local village pub is less than a 10-minute walk, with Hook’s mainline station a similar drive away.

Set amidst a gated plot, circa 1/4 of an acre, the substantial grounds are enclosed with a wall, whilst benefitting from a south-facing outlook – the perfect spot to enjoy the sunny weather. With a high level of privacy, the gardens enjoy a substantial expanse of lawn, studded with a variety of trees, whilst the patio is perfectly placed to watch the sunset.

The character cottage itself, Grade II listed with Tudor origins, has retained a great number of character features, with stylish decor complementing the spaces.

Originally part of The Old House farm buildings, this Grade II listed property retains a wealth of original character features and offers good sized, light-filled and well-proportioned rooms (many double-aspect) and sizeable living space. There is scope for further development subject to the necessary consents.

The residence consists of a welcoming porch and reception hall leading into the home with stairs to the first floor. A substantial double aspect drawing room with a cast iron fireplace with marble surround and a door out to an outdoor seating area and the garden. A well-appointed double aspect kitchen/breakfast room offers a generous range of units, with quality granite work surfaces and a central island, plus an Aga. A good sized dining room with serving hatch to the kitchen. A double aspect sitting room extends in excess of 17ft, with a welcoming log burning stove.

An inner hallway leads to a characterful cloakroom and a large, versatile ground floor double aspect bedroom with wood burner and en-suite. Upstairs, a second, double aspect bedroom offers similarly generous proportions, vaulted with beams, including a three-piece en suite with a shower. A third double bedroom offers a vaulted front-to-back bedroom with an exposed brick feature wall, whilst there is also a fourth double bedroom with double aspect. A family bathroom further serves two of the bedrooms.
