Summary - Porch Cottage, Lower Froyle GU34 4LS
2 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful two‑bedroom home with garden and garage near Bentley station.
Chain free historic timber‑framed cottage
This charming timber‑framed, thatched cottage offers an uncommon chance to own a characterful, chain‑free home in tranquil Lower Froyle. The living spaces are defined by original oak beams, vaulted first‑floor ceilings and a heavily used inglenook fireplace that creates a strong period atmosphere and everyday warmth.
Set on a large, enclosed plot, the garden is planted with roses, a honeysuckle arch and a productive fig tree — an easily managed outdoor space for family life or quiet afternoons. The generous detached garage and brick driveway provide practical parking and storage, while Bentley station and the A31 offer straightforward links to Farnham, Alton and London.
This house has been carefully looked after by one owner since 1982 and benefits from recent practical upgrades: electrical wiring replaced in 2022, secondary glazing to lattice windows and annual servicing of gas appliances. It is Listed, which preserves historic detail but will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and consent for changes.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the solid walls were built before insulation standards, so upgrading thermal performance will require specialist approaches and listed‑building consent. Broadband speeds are slow locally and there is a single bathroom serving the house. Council Tax sits above average. Overall, this property suits buyers who value period character, rural calm and are prepared for the responsibilities of owning a listed, thatched cottage.
