Description

A unique and characterful Grade II listed home, located in the desirable village of Kilmeston, just a few miles south of Alresford. Nestled amidst picturesque countryside and adjoining the National Trust-owned Hinton Ampner Estate, this property offers both charm and tranquillity.

Originally dating back to the 16th/17th century, the period cottage has been thoughtfully extended with a contemporary addition, seamlessly blending old-world charm with the comfort and style of modern living. The layout offers flexibility and could suit multi-generational living or be enjoyed as a spacious single residence. Planning permission has been granted for further extension under references SDNP/18/03513/LIS and SDNP/18/03512/HOUS.

Known as Nutleys, the property sits on a private plot of approximately 0.65 acres, with open field views to the rear. Surrounded by well-maintained lawns and mature hedging, it enjoys excellent privacy. Additional features include ample driveway parking and a timber barn providing garaging and covered parking.

The original cottage retains many period features such as exposed beams and fireplaces, contributing to its timeless appeal. Its accommodation includes an entrance hall, a generous sitting room, a family room, and a study. Upstairs, there are three bedrooms and a shower room. The ground floor of the new extension connects fluidly to the original structure and comprises an entrance hall, a large kitchen/breakfast room fitted with a bespoke Harvey Jones kitchen, premium appliances, a spacious island unit, and a dedicated food preparation room. Ideal for entertaining, the substantial dining room can easily host a large dining table. A utility room and cloakroom complete the ground floor.
