Summary - ST OLAFS POND COTTAGE WONSTON SUTTON SCOTNEY WINCHESTER SO21 3LW
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Grade II thatched family cottage with large garden and far-reaching rural views, near Winchester..
Grade II listed thatched cottage with substantial character and period features
St Olaf’s Pond Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched family home on the edge of Wonston, set against open countryside with fine rural views. The house extends to about 2,190 sq ft and combines generous room proportions and period features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and original flint and stone detail — with recent infrastructure work including a full re-wire and new heating system.
Ground floor living is flexible: a bright sitting room with an inglenook wood burner, a large dining hall with a wood-burning stove, a stone‑topped kitchen/breakfast room, boot room (with shower/WC fittings) and a partially completed utility. Upstairs are three principal bedrooms and a versatile adjoining room that could serve as a dressing room, study or occasional fourth bedroom. There is a single family bathroom plus the boot-room shower, so families should note limited bathroom provision.
Outside the cottage sits in a large, well-planted garden with a private terrace overlooking fields — a sheltered suntrap ideal for entertaining. Ancillary buildings include two sheds and two pods (one used as a garden room, one as a home office). Private gravel parking provides room for several cars. The location gives easy access to Winchester, the A34/A303 and Micheldever mainline station.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listing and thatched roof mean alterations and maintenance will be constrained and typically costlier; the house uses a combination of oil and electric-based heating systems (air-source heat pump and underfloor electric noted), and drainage is by private septic tank. Council tax is high (Band F). Broadband availability is recorded as variable: superfast provision is listed but actual speeds are slow locally, and mobile signal/broadband may be average depending on provider.
This cottage will suit a buyer seeking characterful rural living close to Winchester and willing to manage the responsibilities of a historic, thatched listed home — attractive as a comfortable family base or for those seeking a distinctive country property with scope to personalise within listed constraints.
