Ebbesbourne Wake

DESCRIPTION
1 Vine Cottages is a charming, semi-detached period cottage full of character, that has been tastefully updated by the current owners to form a delightful village residence, located in the heart of the Chalke Valley, a short walk away from the highly regarded, local village pub, The Horsehoe Inn.

The accommodation, which is all over one level, includes an entrance porch, kitchen/breakfast room, large sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burner, small boot room with access to the driveway, bathroom, separate WC, two bedrooms, and a study, which could be used as a single third bedroom. Subject to planning permission there is further potential to extend up into the generous, partially boarded loft and outwards into the garden.

Externally the property has a private driveway providing off-road parking for numerous cars and a generous, well-planted garden to the rear, backing onto open countryside and the hills beyond.

OUTSIDE
The property, which is situated on a plot of approximately 0.2 of an acre is approached via Handley Street, a quiet country lane, where you enter a gravelled driveway providing parking for several vehicles, as well as easy access to the side entrance. A wooden gate provides further access to the rear.

The south-easterly facing rear garden can also be accessed via the double doors in the second bedroom where you step out onto a raised deck, the perfect space for sitting out on a summer evening, looking over the gardens and the views beyond.

Steps lead down to the rest of the garden which is mainly laid to lawn, with a couple of planted areas, providing colour and life, all backing onto open countryside.

The garden is enclosed to all sides, along with having a greenhouse, and garden shed.
