Ardlui is a Grade II listed mid-16th century thatched cottage set on the eastern side of Chittlehampton’s historic Square. The house retains strong period character — smoke-blackened thatch, a winder staircase and a rear gallery — and benefits from planning permission and listed building consent for extensive remodelling and an annexe conversion.
The consented scheme delivers an open-plan kitchen/dining area, living room with inglenook fireplace, a ground-floor double bedroom with mezzanine study, and three ensuite bedrooms overall, plus conversion of the garage/shippon to ancillary accommodation. The property sits on a small plot with an enclosed walled rear garden and unrestricted village-square parking to the front.
This is a substantial renovation project rather than a move-in home. The cottage requires complete completion of the approved works, specialist thatch maintenance and likely thermal upgrading (stone walls currently without insulation assumed). Listed status brings both protection and added regulatory complexity when carrying out works. Services are currently connected and the location offers village amenities, good local schools and easy access to nearby towns and national parks.
