The Country House Company is currently offering two delightful period cottages on the rental market which both provide wonderful character and a cosy atmosphere for the winter months.

The first, in East Meon dates from the 1690s and lies in the heart of the village. The large sitting room has a magnificent inglenook fireplace and exposed timbers and for a more intimate relaxing space the snug has a wood burning stove. The kitchen has been created from an adjoining former outbuilding and is now fitted with a range of units and has a dining area and a modern twist of bi-folding doors to the south facing terrace and garden. There is also a useful office with underfloor heating and a ground floor shower room.

Two double bedrooms and a contemporary style bathroom lead off the landing with two additional first floor bedrooms each reached via its own staircase.

A monthly rent of £1,950 is asked and the landlord may consider a well behaved pet.

An alternative cottage, this time in Hambledon, dates back even further to the time of Henry VIII and is notable for many original features. The dining hall has exposed floorboards and an inglenook fireplace with the sitting room having views to the village street and also over the walled rear garden to the downland behind. The kitchen has an Aga and a door opens to the snug.

Five good size bedrooms are arranged over the first floor, the master with a dressing area and a newly fitted bathroom; there is a further smart guest suite and a new family bathroom. Driveway parking is provided together with a garage.

Gardening is included in the monthly rent of £2,250 and there is a reduction to £2,000 for each of the six months to June 2016.

If either of these character cottages appeals as a cosy base for the winter, contact The Country House Company for more details on 023 9263 2275…

From the gated driveway, a spacious gravelled area opens out to the detached garage and workshop, and the front door. This opens to reveal a modern interior with an interesting layout over a single storey which includes a spacious sitting room and dining room with back to back fireplaces and an open link between the two rooms. The sitting room has French doors out to the principal south facing aspect of the garden and the kitchen is well fitted leaving plenty of space for informal family meals.

The master bedroom has its own shower room, with three further bedrooms sharing the family bathroom.

The garden is level and laid to lawn with established hedges and trees to the boundaries and a number of fruit trees.

Enjoying a superbly private location set well back within its gardens of about a third of an acre, this detached home enjoys a rural setting on the outskirts of Abbotts Ann. The village provides excellent local amenities, creating a backdrop for the community, and Andover is about three miles away.

The property is screened from the village lane and a shingle driveway winds up to garaging and a workshop with further parking to the side. Broad steps descend to the entrance and the gardens nestle on all sides, are mainly lawned for ease of maintenance and with lovely shrub borders and specimen trees for interest. A raised decked area on the south westerly aspect may be accessed from the sitting room and dining room by way of French doors. If further land is required, there is the possibility of continuing a rental arrangement with neighbour over an adjoining parcel of grassland.

The entrance to the house is via double doors into the large hallway and the sitting room is triple aspect with a high vaulted ceiling and a fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with handmade cabinets and granite work surfaces and there is an adjacent utility room with a secondary access to the front.

Leading off the other side of the hall is an inner hallway with doors to four rooms ideal as double bedrooms or perhaps one as a study or snug. The main bathroom also lies off this hallway and one of the bedrooms makes an ideal guest suite with its own shower room.

The large first floor landing is currently used as a home office and leads to the impressive master bedroom which has a walk-in wardrobe, further storage and large bathroom. To the other side of the landing is another large bedroom with more storage.

The garage matches the design of the house and has a large boarded loft which may be used as a games room or storage. The garden setting is undoubtedly enhanced by the adjoining open farmland
