The Street, Binsted, GU34 4PF

Historic Charm With Modern Flow – A Detached Cottage, rethought for 21st Century Living. This spacious, fully upgraded four-bed cottage blends period character with sociable open plan living, in a move-in-ready home that feels instantly inviting.

Set right in the heart of Binsted, within the South Downs National Park – a village with roots dating back to the Domesday Book – Bide Cottage offers that elusive blend of historic charm and properly modern practicality. 

Every detail has been carefully thought through, from the re-exposed beams and brand-new flooring, to the smart kitchen appliances and beautifully landscaped gardens which can be viewed from a beautiful ceiling high picture window & glass doors. 

There are three reception areas downstairs, each with its own distinct feel. 

The Snug is the cosy, curl-up-with-a-good-book kind of place – complete with a beautiful original working open fireplace. 

The beating heart and social hub of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen / dining / living space that makes the most of a superb rear extension, with vaulted ceilings, a freestanding Contura log burner, Rangemaster cooker and sleek bi-fold doors opening out to the garden for that indoor outdoor feel, it’s a versatile spot that works just as well for big Sunday roasts or family gatherings as it does for quiet weekday relaxing evenings.

Off the hall you’ll also find a smart downstairs w/c and wet-room-style shower – ideal for muddy dog walks or visiting guests. 

Then there’s the main sitting room & utility room (washing machine & tumble dryer), with bifold doors off the main driveway for those summer evenings watching the world go by & also benefitting from a further rear access to a small courtyard, which can be used for alfresco dining or reading a book. 

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, all refurbished with new carpets / flooring, radiators and lighting. On the landing there are two very useful additional storage cupboards. 

The main double bedroom with a French door leading on to a balcony offers a peaceful view down the quiet lane. There is also an open fireplace (which is currently capped) & Velux window giving plenty of natural light. 

Two further double bedrooms have dual aspect windows with views of the back garden or country lane.

The fourth double bedroom at the moment leads into the third bedroom & is currently being used as a dressing room & office. 

There’s a gorgeous modern family bathroom here too – refurbished with a new sink unit and flooring.

The garden has been carefully landscaped and nurtured, now home to a new apple tree, an apricot tree and a brand-new convenient shed. There’s also a new extended side access gate & additional rear garden space, with a new extended block paved driveway to the front of the property which could house at least two cars. 

Binsted itself is a small village with a friendly pub, recreation ground and a primary school that’s rated “Good” by Ofsted and is just a short walk away.

It’s only a 10 minute drive to Alton in one direction or Farnham in the other. You also have a choice of train stations, which all go direct into London Waterloo - Alton, Farnham & Bentley train station which is only a 5 minute drive away. 

If you’ve been waiting for a character home with a twist of modern functionality you can simply turn the key & move into – where the hard work’s already been done – this one’s worth a closer look.
