Knapp Lane, Ampfield

Built in 2012, this charming modern cottage blends contemporary living with elegant character throughout. The property enjoys an open-plan kitchen/dining room overlooking the rear garden, along with driveway parking for three vehicles to the front.

THE PROPERTY

The ground floor offers a welcoming entrance hallway leading to the main accommodation. Immediately to the left is a generous sitting room measuring 15’8 x 12, featuring internal solid oak double doors, new carpets, a striking exposed brick fireplace with oak mantel housing a wood burner, with dual-aspect windows. Located towards the end of the hallway, the kitchen/dining room forms the true hub of the home. The well-equipped kitchen provides ample base and wall-mounted storage, tiled flooring, a farmhouse sink, and a range of fitted appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, and double oven. The dining area flows seamlessly from the kitchen, creating a sociable and practical living space with attractive views over the private rear garden. A useful utility room adjoins the kitchen with space for a washing machine, tumble dryer, and an additional sink, with side access, while a cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from fitted storage and a contemporary en-suite shower room, while bedroom two also includes fitted storage. A stylish family bathroom serves bedrooms two and three, with both bathrooms having been renovated and modernised within the last year. Additionally, the property offers generous boarded loft storage.

OUTSIDE

Externally, the property offers an attractive and welcoming covered porch leading to the entrance, with driveway parking to the front for three vehicles, complemented by a mature front garden and seating area. The private rear garden is accessed through double French doors leading onto a covered patio seating area beneath a glazed pergola, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and relaxation. The garden also features a lawn, powered summerhouse, and additional space for leisure or entertaining, perfectly complementing the outdoor living area.

THE SITUATION

Ampfield is a highly regarded and picturesque Hampshire village, prized for its rural charm and convenient access to nearby towns and transport links. Set amidst gently rolling countryside and woodland, the village offers an appealing balance of village life and modern connectivity.

The heart of Ampfield is centred around its traditional village green, historic church, and popular public house, creating a strong sense of community. The village is surrounded by beautiful walking and cycling routes, including nearby Ampfield Woods and Farley Mount Country Park, making it ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors.

Despite its peaceful setting, Ampfield is exceptionally well placed for access to Romsey and Winchester, both offering a wide range of shopping, dining, and leisure facilities. Commuters are well served, with fast rail services available from nearby Romsey Parkway and Winchester stations, providing direct routes to London and the south coast. The M3 and M27 motorways are also easily accessible, ensuring excellent road connections.

DIRECTIONS

From Romsey town centre, proceed out of town on the A3057 towards Winchester. Continue straight over the first roundabout, remaining on the A3057 (Greatbridge Road). At the next roundabout, take the second exit onto Fishlake Meadows and continue ahead. Follow the road and join Jermyns Lane, then continue onto the A3090 towards Ampfield. After a short distance, turn left onto Knapp Lane, where the property will be found along the lane.
