Generous rear garden with timber cabin and central fire pit

This Grade II listed, 18th-century thatched cottage in Langstone offers a rare chance to create a distinctive waterside home. Its traditional features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, sash-style windows and thatched roof — give immediate character and curb appeal, while the layout provides flexible reception space and two first-floor bedrooms.
The property requires full renovation throughout: structural, services and internal cosmetic updates will be needed to make it a comfortable modern home. Listed status means any works affecting historic fabric will require consent and specialist repair (thatched roof maintenance and timber repairs are likely significant cost items). There is no forward chain, which simplifies a purchase for someone prepared to undertake a sympathetic restoration.
Outside, a generous rear garden with mature planting and an octagonal timber cabin adds usable amenity and entertaining potential. On-street parking only and a narrow plot are practical limitations; the cottage sits on a High Street slope offering open outlooks and possible harbour views from the front. Flood risk is medium — buyers should obtain up-to-date flood and insurance advice.
This property will most appeal to a buyer seeking character and location over turnkey accommodation: those comfortable coordinating listed-building works, or an investor/householder aiming for a careful refurbishment to unlock long-term value in a sought-after coastal village.
