Hill Brow Road, Liss, Hampshire, GU33

A superb character cottage, nestled in a peaceful setting within the village centre. Extended and upgraded by the current owners, the property offers a wonderful blend of period and modern features, as well as boasting a high degree of convenience.

LOCATION: The property is quietly tucked away in the village centre. Liss village, situated in the South Downs National Park, provides shops for all day-to-day needs, a mainline station to London Waterloo and Portsmouth, and schools for infants and juniors. The A3 bypasses the village, providing easy access to the south coast, the M25 and London to the north. The opening of the Hindhead tunnel has enhanced the attraction of this sought-after location, potentially enticing those wishing to move out from the traditional commuter belt and suburbs, but still being able to return there for work. The other nearby towns of Petersfield, Alton, Haslemere and Guildford are all easily accessible, as are the cities of Chichester, Portsmouth and Winchester.

DESCRIPTION: An impeccably presented character cottage, combining attractive period features and modern creature comforts. Portland Square falls within Liss Conservation Area and is made up of several properties which are typical of the Victorian/Edwardian era. A driveway leads in from Hill Brow Road to where these houses are positioned and it is noticeably quiet for a location so close to the heart of the village.

Approaching from the front, there is a path leading from the garden gate to the front door, which opens into a small lobby and this in turn opens into the dining hall, where there are stairs to the first floor, an opening through to the kitchen and a door to the sitting room. Both of these rooms have lovely wooden flooring and there is a real log burner in the sitting room and an electric lookalike burner in the dining room. The kitchen has been upgraded and enjoys lots of natural light, enhanced by the lantern window above. There is a fitted oven and hob, an integrated dishwasher plus there are several work surfaces, complemented with storage cupboards and drawers. At one end there is a utility space with plumbing and electric for a washing machine and a tumble dryer. Beyond this there is a door to the downstairs WC and shower room. There is also an opening through to the snug, which was a later addition and which has underfloor heating, providing another useful seating area or space to work or read. There is a lantern window above this room too, which affords more natural light and double doors lead out to a sunny courtyard at the rear of the property.

On the first floor, there is a landing with doors to all rooms. The main bedroom has a front aspect and a smart feature fireplace. The second bedroom also has a front aspect and features built-in wardrobes, then the third bedroom is at the rear with a pretty outlook across mature neighbouring gardens. There is a bathroom on this floor too, fitted with a modern suite, comprising a panel enclosed bath, pedestal wash basin and low level WC. All internal rooms boast skimmed ceilings with recessed downlighters and all bedrooms and key reception rooms enjoy attractive timber flooring which is in keeping with the age of the property.

OUTSIDE: At the front of the property there is off-street parking for two cars, in the form of a paved driveway. Note there is an electric charge point fitted too. A gate leads into a very pretty garden which is well-tended and enclosed on all sides, with wooden fencing and trellis. There is an area of lawn with an array of mature planting and there are several paved seating areas, plus there is a timber shed and a log store. At the rear of the property, there is a very sunny walled courtyard garden with a rear access. There are outside taps and power points to both the front and rear aspects.
