Set in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this freshly renovated two-bedroom cottage combines period character with contemporary living. The single-storey extension creates a large L-shaped open-plan kitchen/dining/living area with bi-fold doors, hardwood floors and a dedicated pantry — ideal for entertaining or relaxed country life. Off-street parking and a sizable, south-facing garden with terrace extend the living space outdoors.
The property retains traditional features — brick-and-flint elevations, twin chimneys and an open fireplace in the separate sitting room — while modern upgrades include a new kitchen, renovated bathrooms and double glazing. The house is chain free and offered freehold, making it straightforward for buyers wanting a quick move. Local amenities include village tearooms, a pub and good primary schools; the M4 (J14) and nearby stations provide reasonable commuter links.
Practical points to note: heating is oil-fired via a boiler and radiators and broadband speeds are slow, which may matter for home-working. The home benefits from internal insulation in cavity walls but some buyers may prefer to consider long-term replace-or-upgrade plans for the oil system. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful village cottage well suited to those looking to downsize into the countryside or secure a comfortable second home in an AONB.
