The Property

Upper Haydown Cottage is a detached two storey mainly thatched Hampshire cottage that seamlessly joins the features of an historic house, together with the amenities required by a 21st century family. The true extent of the accommodation is not apparent from the road as the cottage lies perpendicularly from the village street, but looks towards the farmland front and rear. The principal rooms all enjoy a double aspect with country views. The cottage comprises partly white washed elevations with casement windows with two later additions which are timber clad to create a distinctive and characterful period cottage. The property is recorded as having origins in the late 18th century of brick and flint construction, with restorations during the 20th century to create the cottage as seen today. The entrance hall has ceramic tiled flooring, a practical solution for a rural setting, which in turn leads to the reception rooms including the spacious double aspect sitting/family room with views over the garden. The drawing room which is in the original part of the property also has double aspect with a glorious inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove, creating an atmospheric and characterful room. A door leads through to the dining room with a fireplace (sealed), double aspect with views over the garden and farmland to the rear. The kitchen is L-shaped and has two distinct areas with contemporary units with integrated appliances including floor and wall mounted cupboards and door to the rear garden. An archway leads through to the breakfast room with further built in storage units, double windows and a door to the rear. There is a utility room with wc. Travertine flooring is featured in the dining room and kitchen giving a contemporary and stylish contrast. On the first floor one of the overriding features are the high vaulted ceilings in the principal bedrooms with the bedroom 1 having a bright double aspect. The adjoining shower room and the family bathroom both have under floor heating. The bedrooms have views over the garden and adjoining farmland.

Outside The approach to the cottage is across a shared gravel driveway leading to a parking and an adjacent barn style garage and store room. A five bar gate leads through to the garden.
