Detached four bedroom property with far reaching views of the South Downs National Park.
The Property:
Tucked away in a private setting with beautiful views of the South Downs, Westwood Cottage offers peace and quiet. Set within the immaculately kept garden, the property has retained a cottage style but has been modernised throughout. Upon entering the property is a spacious entrance hall, cloak-cupboard and WC. The accommodation leads through to the kitchen/diner; the double aspect allows for plenty of natural light and french doors open to the west facing back garden and patio with views of the fields and woodland beyond. To the left is a useful utility/boot room. The kitchen leads round to the dining room which again opens onto the garden and enjoys views of surrounding countryside. Doors open to the very generous sitting room which has been recently updated and features a newly fitted cassette-style woodburning stove. The first floor is made up of the very spacious principal bedroom and ensuite, second double bedroom, family bathroom and single fourth bedroom all with great views which makes this house special. Stairs rise again to the second floor which offers another double bedroom with ample storage. Externally is a driveway for up to 5 vehicles plus a large double garage with spacious room above currently used as a home office.
The Location:
The Meon Valley is highly sought after for its rural yet convenient setting being extremely accessible to the south coast and major centres of Winchester, Southampton and Portsmouth. Main line rail services can be accessed in both Winchester and Petersfield with easy road access to the M27, M3 and A3. The surrounding villages of Droxford and Swanmore offer a strong and active community, access to the Meon Valley bridleway is moments away, with beautiful walks over the South Downs Way. For day-to-day amenities there is an excellent village store, Meringtons, in Droxford. The historic country town of Bishops Waltham is within a short drive and offers a wealth of charm and character with a traditional high street, coffee shops and a wider range of amenities. Good schools are available within the area, including Swanmore primary and secondary schools, Droxford Junior School, along with other excellent private schooling within the nearby towns and cities accessible by local transport. Colleges include Peter Symonds and Barton Peveril. Bus services to some of the nearby and further afield schools and colleges are available.

Follow the road until you join the A32. Turn right and drive through Droxford until you see Swanmore Road on the right-hand side.
