Set in the heart of picturesque Wherwell, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines strong period charm with substantial garden space. The house has been let for many years and now requires comprehensive modernisation, offering scope to create a comfortable village family home while retaining original features. Note that listed status and thatch will impose restoration and consent constraints and ongoing maintenance obligations.
The property offers three bedrooms, one bathroom and approximately 940 sq ft of accommodation across two storeys, heated by an oil-fired boiler and radiators. Room sizes are generally small-to-medium, suited to family living or a character-led renovation. Broadband speeds are fast and the village is well served for primary schooling and countryside amenities.
A major attraction is the large, private south-easterly garden with mature planting and an additional overgrown parcel of land included, allowing space for enlargement, vegetable beds or separate garden areas subject to conservation rules. Parking appears limited and the cottage sits close to the lane, so additional parking would need considering.
Practical considerations: the property needs renovation throughout, secondary glazing is fitted, and council tax is above average. The thatched roof, cob walls and exposed timber framing are valuable character assets but will increase repair costs and restrict some types of alteration. For buyers seeking a sympathetic restoration project in an affluent village setting, this offers strong potential.
