Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, RG27

Set within one of the best villages to live, Hartley Wintney, is this iconic Grade II listed, piece of history that is now for sale after a full renovation. The building dates back to the 17^th century and was originally the historic Lamb Hotel. It has now been tastefully designed and renovated into private residential accommodation, with many already sold! No3 retains so many original features, such as oak beams, vaulted ceilings and the front door being the main entrance to the hotel for many years. Care and thought has been well combined to include modern period style radiators that compliment the character of the cottage, whilst modern kitchen and bathroom fittings bring out the five star feeling of quality with integrated appliances, shaker-style units under beautifully fitted quartz worktops and flagstone effect floor tiles. Size is absolutely noticed here within each room, from the large hallway to the impressive living room and both bedrooms. There is also plenty of storage, and a cloakroom in addition to access to the communal courtyard via the rear lobby. Take a good look at the photos and check out the video, but better yet, call to visit in person with Sean.

Rated one of the prettiest villages in Hampshire, Hartley Wintney has a true English feel, with so many wonderful independent shops, cafes and pubs steeped into history, not forgetting a delightful duck pond, cricket green, beautiful woodland of Trafalgar Oak trees, and so much countryside all on your doorstep. Village life really couldn't get any better than right here! Commuters will love how easy you can get into London via M3 and M4 or by train using the nearby Winchfield Train Station, which will take you direct into London Waterloo with 45-60 minutes. Of course, there is everything else you'd expect from outstanding schools to a golf club, making it suitable for people of all ages.

"As you can tell, I love the history of this home, the fact that you walk in through the original main hotel door is a nice touch! Plus, its prime location within such an amazing village is worth its weight in gold, making it so easy to enjoy local life without every using the car."
