Burnetts Lane, Horton Heath, SO50

INTRODUCTION

Full of charm, character and history, this delightful cottage forms part of the attractive Saxon Court development in the heart of Horton Heath. Believed to incorporate period features throughout, including exposed timbers, brickwork and a striking inglenook-style fireplace, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character with scope for sympathetic enhancement. Set within mature gardens and enjoying an attractive outlook towards the original thatched section of the development, the cottage blends period appeal with practical everyday living and would suit purchasers seeking something truly individual.

LOCATION

Burnetts Lane is a highly regarded location within Horton Heath, well placed for local shops, public houses, schools and commuter routes. The neighbouring villages of Fair Oak and Botley offer a broader range of amenities, whilst Eastleigh town centre and Parkway railway station provide excellent transport links. The area is particularly popular due to its blend of countryside surroundings whilst remaining convenient for Southampton, Winchester and the M27 motorway network.

INSIDE

The front door opens into a beautifully characterful sitting room, a superb reception space featuring exposed wall and ceiling timbers, a feature staircase and a substantial brick inglenook fireplace housing a wood-burning stove which forms the focal point of the room.

The kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of wall and base units with complementary work surfaces and built-in oven, whilst dual-aspect windows provide plenty of natural light. A rear stable door provides access to the garden. A ground floor shower room completes the downstairs accommodation and incorporates a shower enclosure, WC and wash hand basin.

To the first floor, the cottage offers two bedrooms with sloping ceilings that further enhance the property's character and individuality. The accommodation would benefit from some modernisation and offers buyers the opportunity to create a wonderful home tailored to their own tastes and needs.

OUTSIDE

One of the property's most appealing features is the generous and mature garden. Immediately adjoining the cottage is a paved courtyard area, ideal for outside dining and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden extends to both the front and rear of the property, creating beautifully established outdoor spaces predominantly laid to lawn and complemented by mature trees, shaped shrubs, well-stocked borders and specimen planting, providing year-round colour and interest. Attractive brick wall boundaries help create a good degree of privacy and enclosure, whilst a footpath meanders through the garden leading to a gravel driveway. Situated discreetly behind mature trees is a covered timber car port/storage area, offering practical sheltered parking and additional storage. The gardens provide a delightful setting for the cottage and enhance its charming, semi-rural feel.
