3 Halfway Cottage Located in the sought after village of Longstock, this delightful home is situated in an idyllic position. The house has been sympathetically refurbished throughout by the current owners and provides light spacious rooms, high ceilings and many period features. On the ground floor there is a generous dining room with doors leading to a large conservatory, with far reaching views beyond the manicured gardens. Adjacent to the dining room is a comfortable snug area which is divided by a brick fireplace with space for a wood burning stove. A spacious study with tiled floor is accessed from the snug room. The drawing room with an exposed brick fireplace and window seat has the added benefit of french doors leading out to a terraced area and garden. The kitchen/breakfast room with exposed beams was designed by John Lewis of Hungerford. It is fitted with an Aga and offers plenty of additional space to accommodate a family size kitchen table. There is also a raised section adjacent to the kitchen which allows for a more flexible working space. There is a utility area with a butler sink and a WC located off the kitchen. The upstairs accommodation is arranged as five double bedrooms all with picturesque views of the garden and surrounding countryside. Four out of the five bedrooms have useful built in wardrobes with bedroom four currently being used as a study. Bedroom five has its own staircase leading down to the study on the ground floor and allows this area to act as an annexe to the main house. The wood flooring and exposed beams in many of the rooms add to the house s traditional character. There are also two large family bathrooms on this floor with an additional separate guest cloakroom.
