Tiree, Andover, SP11 9DG

Available to the property market for the first time in almost half a century, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique, characterful three-double-bedroomed, detached house in a stunning and truly rural location.

The property is located in the village of Chute Forest, the village name giving an obvious clue to its surrounding environment, set amongst the beautiful rolling countryside, woodland hangers and chalk downland on the Hampshire/Wiltshire border.

The property benefits from generous driveway parking plus a large, attached garage with power and lighting, whilst a mature, tranquil and attractive garden to the rear offers a perfect relaxing retreat and is a real feature of the property.

The accommodation itself, well-presented throughout, has a practical, light and airy layout with generous reception space and comprises a ground floor with an entrance hallway that has built-in storage.

Natural light floods into the hallway from the window on the stairwell.

A dual-aspect living room has windows to the front and french doors opening out to the side of the property and includes an inset solid fuel fire set on a granite hearth with a tiled surround and decorative wooden mantle.

The kitchen, with windows to the side and the rear, benefits from a walk-in pantry and features a ceramic hob, built-in, eye-level combination oven and oven/grill, plus an integrated fridge/freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.

Another good-sized dual-aspect room is the dining room, which has two sets of French doors opening out into the rear garden with its centrepiece, a wood-burning stove set within a decorative inglenook.

A ground floor bathroom includes a separate bath and shower enclosure along with a WC, hand wash basin and a heated towel rail.

Finally, on the ground floor, there is the study, which could easily double up as a fourth double bedroom.

The first floor provides three good-sized double bedrooms, two of which have built-in wardrobe storage. There is a separate first floor WC with a bidet and hand wash basin.

The first floor landing also provides access to a very practical loft space, currently utilised for storage. There is additional eaves storage space accessed from the first floor WC.

Outside, the front of the property is bordered by mature hedging and has a block paved driveway which provides vehicular access to the garage, complete with an automated roller door.

There is separate gated access to an additional gravel driveway at the side of the property with then gated access into the rear garden.

The property can be found just off Lodge Lane within the village of Chute Forest, just one of The "Chutes" that can be found six miles north-west of Andover within the southern edge of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape.

Nearby in the village of Lower Chute is the award-winning Hatchet Inn, a 13th century thatched pub with ensuite accommodation, restaurant and bar with a little further north, the spectacular Hippenscombe Valley with Chute Causeway, a Roman Road which traverses the top of the escarpment.

The location lends itself perfectly for those who might need to commute into London with a choice of available mainline stations within less than a half hour drive (Great Bedwyn and Hungerford into Paddington in less than an hour or Andover into Waterloo in just over an hour).
