Situation

Griffin Cottage is situated close to the centre of Micheldever, a pretty village situated in the beautiful countryside of the Dever Valley. There are good local facilities including a popular primary school, church and public house. The village is within the catchment of the well-regarded Henry Beaufort Secondary School and Peter Symonds sixth form college in Winchester. It is a strong and welcoming community with societies and social events.

Winchester and Basingstoke are easily reached, both with comprehensive leisure, recreational and educational facilities and both have mainline railway stations, but only about 2 miles away, at Micheldever Station is the closest station with train services to London/Waterloo. The A303 and M3 are within easy distance.

The property

Griffin Cottage is an attractive ‘chocolate box’ attached thatched cottage. It is Grade II Listed and believed to date from the late 17th Century but with later additions, the most recent being in 2005. The property retains much of its original character with a wealth of exposed beams and a large ‘inglenook’ fireplace, yet it has been sympathetically modernised and is offered in good order throughout.

On the ground floor, there is a lovely dual aspect heavily beamed sitting room with large ‘inglenook’ fireplace with exposed brickwork and with a log burning stove. To one side is a small study area, and there is a beamed dining room, a dual aspect kitchen/breakfast room with a comprehensive range of units and with a quarry tiled floor, and there is also a utility room and cloakroom.

There are two staircases. One leads to the master bedroom with its en suite shower room, and the other leads to bedrooms two and three, both doubles, and the family bathroom

For further details, please refer to the floor plan.
