A pretty Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Whitsbury, set within mature gardens of about a quarter acre. The house retains period character—diamond‑pane windows and an impressive inglenook fireplace—and benefits from a recent re‑thatch (July 2021). A substantial former barn provides workshop/storage on the ground floor with ancillary studio/office and a shower room above.
The accommodation extends to approximately 1,850 sq ft across multiple floors and includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The plot and outbuilding offer flexibility for hobbyists, home working or small‑scale ancillary use, subject to listed‑building and planning constraints. Broadband is reported fast, helping remote working despite the peaceful, rural location.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed and constructed with solid brick (likely uninsulated walls), so alterations, insulation upgrades and some modernisation will be constrained and potentially costly. Heating is oil‑fired via boiler and radiators, drainage is private, and council tax sits in Band F. Mobile signal is minimal in the hamlet.
This cottage will suit someone seeking character and outdoor space who accepts conservation obligations and is prepared for a sensitive renovation programme rather than a move‑in‑perfect home. Its setting, workshop/studio and large gardens make it particularly appealing to downsizers wanting a village lifestyle with scope to personalise.
