The Property -

Nestled in the heart of the Test Valley village of Thruxton is The Groom House, a charming cottage with cob walls and a slate roof. The cottage has many traditional features and whilst it requires some updating, it offers larger than average accommodation for a cottage with each room being of a good size and with good head height.

The large front door welcomes you in to the hallway which boasts a traditional stone floor. The sitting room has a cosy feel with original windows and window seat and a log burner with surround which is a classic and attractive statement. Accessed off the hall and through the stable door is the kitchen/breakfast room, a good-sized room with an abundance of kitchen floor and wall cupboards and plenty of space for a breakfast table. French doors lead out to the south-facing garden. Off the kitchen is the study which could have a variety of uses.

On the first floor is a spacious landing, a family bathroom and two double bedrooms, one with built-in storage.

Outside -

Accessed from the kitchen via the French doors is a very useful brick outbuilding which is currently used as a utility, with plumbing and electric, however this could be used for a variety of uses depending on preference. The walled garden is mainly laid to lawn and offers lots of potential. Although there is no parking with the property there appears to be on-road parking available.
