There’s plenty to be charmed by at Monks cottage, in the hamlet of East Cholderton, near Andover.
As pretty as a postcard, thatched Monks Cottage is an exceptional period property of great charm that has benefited from sensible improvements over the years.

The interiors are a traditional rustic wonderland, with exposed beams throughout, as well as a large open fireplace in the sitting room.
