Introduction
Having undergone a major program of improvement and extension in 2005, this delightful home retains much of the original character associated with its era which flows seamlessly with all the comforts of modern living. The property enjoys exposed beams, wooden slatted latch doors and two exposed brick inglenook fireplaces whilst an open plan kitchen/dining room provides elegance and functuality.

There is also a driveway to the rear for two vehicles, a rare feature for character homes in the heart of the village. Downton is well provided for in village amenities and is situated on the fringes of the New Forest with its wonderful country walks yet also offers convenient access to Salisbury, Southampton and Bournemouth.   

Description
Upon entering the property you are immersed in the past by the wealth of historic features. A solid wood door opens into the sitting room featuring exposed ceiling and wall beams and a focal point of the most imposing brick inglenook fireplace. A wooden latch door leads to the hallway hosting the engineered oak staircase and providing access to the principal rooms including the study with attractive fitted furniture. The extended kitchen dining room enjoys a bright and airy feel via a dual aspect and French door to the gardens. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed by a well reputed local kitchen company and features an extensive range of hand crafted white cottage units with granite worktops over.

The rear walled garden is a delight, extending to almost a 1/5 acre and divided into three distinct areas. A formal garden adjacent to the rear elevation provides a sun terrace and lawns, flanked by shaped flower beds which are well stocked with perennials. A beautiful pergola walk leads to an archway to the raised pond area, offering an ideal relaxation venue with attractive seating areas.
