Vive la difference!

We’re delighted to introduce you to the refreshingly original Heath Cottage, an exceptional four-bedroom country residence that’s anything but run-of-the-mill.

Dating back to 1840, the link-detached cottage was extended in the late 1970s and early 1980s to create the striking 2,849 sq ft home it is today. A quirky layout defines and future-proofs this super-flexible country home cosily ensconced within the idyllic hamlet of Hazeley Bottom, just outside the sought-after village of Hartley Wintney.

You can revel in the country lifestyle yet be in London within an hour – it’s just two miles to Winchfield station to catch mainline trains to Waterloo while the nearby M3 whisks drivers into the capital.

The entrance hall of Heath Cottage leads to a study and a family room, a fabulously sunny orangery, utility room with cloakroom/WC and integral single garage. A spacious principal bedroom suite on the ground floor and a lift to the first floor has future-proofed Heath Cottage, making it perfect for a family with an elderly relative or for those looking to downsize.

Upstairs, under the attractively vaulted and beamed ceiling, the spacious kitchen/breakfast room featuring top-of-the-range appliances flows open-plan into the 40ft expanse of super-comfy lounge/diner, and enjoys delightful countryside views. This fantastic space is further enhanced by French doors to a large balcony – perfect for pre-dinner drinks with guests on a warm summer’s evening.

Three further bedrooms are positioned together in the east wing and share a bathroom. Heath Cottage’s versatility is its virtue and, while observing any planning permissions required, it could be possible to reconfigure the house layout if desired.

With plenty of parking space in front of the cottage and a generous expanse of mature gardens, Heath Cottage is beautifully presented and has been the happy home of the current owner for 31 years.
