SituationForton is a hamlet to the north of the A303 on the outskirts of Longparish set amongst some of Hampshire’s finest countryside. The village of Longparish has a population of around 700 residents who enjoy this fabulous living environment, which includes many period houses, a village store, 2 public houses and a primary school (rated outstanding by Ofsted in 2013/14), post office, cricket club and 13th century church. The thriving community runs various social activity centres around its clubs and organisations. The beautiful surrounding countryside offers various walks including part of the Test Way and hiking in Harewood Forest, which is to the west of the village, together with fishing on the upper Test. A wide range of amenities are available in Andover, with railway links also to be found at Whitchurch (London Waterloo approximately 1 hour) and easy access onto the A34 and A303 for links to London and the north

and other directions.

DescriptionRiver Cottage is an immaculately presented detached family home set in delightful grounds of approximately 0.52 acre. The property has been beautifully presented by the current owners and enjoys some fabulous living space, including a magnificent kitchen/breakfast room with its range of wall and floor mounted units including cupboard and drawer sections and work surfaces over, a large central island provides the perfect breakfast bar arrangement, and there is a further space for sofas in front of the log burning stove. This is a fabulous room for everyday living, and with its bifold doors opening out onto the terrace, provides a super space for entertaining and enjoying stunning views out over the garden and river beyond. Other reception space includes a family room, which backs onto the open plan kitchen area, ideal

for everyday relaxing. The more formal reception spaces include a sitting room with central fireplace and doors out onto the rear garden, and there are also doors which link in to the dining room for the more formal occasion. A study provides ample space for working from home, and the garage has been arranged in such a way that it would make the perfect games room.

The property comes with up to 6 bedrooms, which include a fabulous master bedroom suite which includes a walk-through dressing room and a large en suite bathroom with shower. There are some fine views to the south over the lawned gardens. At first floor level there are 4 further bedrooms including a gym/bedroom 6 with recessed alcove, making it the ideal teenager’s den.

At second floor level is a large bedroom with en suite shower room. The house is ideally arranged and has been thoughtfully

designed for those with families, with the everyday living area to one side interacting particularly well with the gardens and its fantastic environment.

The principal gardens lie to the rear of the property and are largely lawned and level, with some attractive planting and mature trees. A key feature of this unique family home is the fabulous backdrop, with the River Test running along the far boundary and the decked area at the far end with summerhouse provides the perfect space to enjoy this unique setting.
