A unique and beautifully presented home offering over 3,000 sq ft of highly versatile living space, created from the successful conversion of four Victorian farm cottages dating back to mid-19th century in the sought-after village of Hurstbourne Priors.

Believed to have once comprised four separate cottages, Watercress Cottage is a truly distinctive home full of character and charm. Spanning over 3,000 sq ft, the property offers flexible accommodation ideal for modern family living. The impressive entrance hall, complete with an open fireplace, sets the tone for the rest of the home. Just off the hall is a well-appointed kitchen featuring a gas Rangemaster cooker, double Belfast sink, and a range of fitted units topped with granite work surfaces. A more recent addition, the garden room provides a light-filled and versatile space with beautiful views over the garden. It opens directly onto a generous patio area, —perfect for entertaining. This end of the house also includes a utility cloakroom and access to the integral garage. At the opposite end of the ground floor, you'll find a cosy sitting room with a log burner, along with two further rooms that offer excellent potential for a self-contained annexe, thanks to their own separate entrance.
Upstairs, two staircases lead to five bedrooms, including a walk-through room, and two bathrooms. The layout offers flexibility and could easily be reconfigured to suit a variety of family needs. All rooms enjoy lovely views over fields.

Outside
To the rear there is a landscape gardener designed terraced area perfectly suited to al fresco dining and entertaining. With the garden being professionally landscaped it is a fabulous space and includes a pizza oven, barbeque, double fridge, sink and log store. There is a single garage accessed over the generous gravel drive with plenty of parking.

Location
Watercress Cottage enjoys a prime position within the Conservation Area of the picturesque village of Hurstbourne Priors, nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village is rich in period charm and community spirit, featuring a historic church, a village hall, and a traditional cricket green with a thatched pavilion.
Everyday amenities can be found in the nearby villages of Longparish and St. Mary Bourne, both offering a post office and local shop. The market town of Whitchurch, just 2 miles away, provides a wider range of facilities and a direct rail service to London (approximately 61 minutes).
The area is renowned for its outdoor pursuits, particularly fly fishing on the River Test and River Bourne. Excellent road links are available via the A34 (2 miles away), providing swift access to the Midlands, South Coast, London (via the M3), and the West Country via the A303.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
