Homes in Hants

Selborne is an attractive village in eastern Hampshire where the beautiful countryside is famous for its association with the eighteenth century naturalist Gilbert White. In his book The Natural History of Selborne, he meticulously recorded his observations on the plants, birds and animals in this lovely part of Hampshire.

This is the setting for this charming detached cottage which is available on the rental market, and, dating from the 1600s, Gilbert White would have been familiar with the property. Pleasance Cottage has a traditional country kitchen which is triple aspect and with a stable type door to the front. A large range oven sets the scene and from this room stone steps lead up to the dining room. Across the other side of the entrance hall is a spacious sitting room with oak floorboards, exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burning stove.

There is also a utility room and bathroom on the ground floor.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms with oak floors and delightful views of the very pretty cottage style garden. Off road parking is provided.

Available part furnished, Hamptons in Winchester will be happy to arrange a viewing of this period home in its natural setting. A monthly rent of £1,295 is asked. Contact the office on 01962 853046
