A charming Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage set in Broad Chalke’s desirable Chalke Valley. The house sits in about one-third of an acre of private grounds with south-west facing garden, mature trees and countryside views, offering immediate outdoor space and scope for family living. Planning permission is already granted for side and rear extensions plus extra garaging and parking, enabling a larger family home subject to listed-building consents.
Internally the cottage provides two reception rooms, an open kitchen/dining area, utility and cloakroom, plus two bathrooms across three floors. Period features include exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with bread oven and a thatched roof; fittings include a two-oven Aga, oil-fired boiler with radiators and double glazing (install date unknown). Practical benefits include detached garage, ample off-street parking and an electric car charging point.
Important practical points: the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may increase repair/consent costs and insurance; planning permission for extensions has been granted but listed-building approvals will still be required. Heating runs from an oil boiler, walls are assumed uninsulated cavity construction, and broadband speeds are slow. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These are realistic costs and constraints to factor into renovation or extension plans.
For families the location is a major draw: Broad Chalke offers an outstanding village primary school, a village shop and pub, and easy access to countryside walking. For buyers wanting to enlarge or improve the house, the granted planning and the generous plot present clear potential, provided the listed status and practical service limitations are accepted and budgeted for.
