Set on the edge of Broad Chalke, this double-fronted thatched cottage blends period charm with generous, family-focused living space. The house offers about 1,447 sq ft across two floors, including two reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining room with French doors, and a useful study that can double as a ground-floor bedroom. Exposed stone, a bread-oven inglenook and a wood-burning stove give the principal reception rooms genuine character and warmth.
The first floor provides three well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom with roll-top bath and separate shower. Built-in storage on the landing and principal bedroom helps with day-to-day organisation. The garden is manageable and private, with a terrace accessed directly from the kitchen — practical for outdoor dining — plus block-paved parking behind double gates.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the property uses oil-fired central heating and has a substantial thatch roof, both of which carry ongoing maintenance and running costs. There is a single family bathroom and some part-vaulted/restricted head-height areas upstairs that may affect furniture layout. The setting is rural so access is via narrow lanes and the site sits adjacent to watercress beds, with a medium flood risk to note for insurance and future buyers.
For families seeking a character-rich cottage in a sought-after village with good primary schooling and countryside access, this house presents a rare blend of period detail and usable living space. It will suit buyers who value character and village life and who are prepared for the upkeep associated with thatch and oil heating.
