Summary - PORTLAND COTTAGE, CHURCH ROAD SO32 2HW
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Charming three-bedroom home with parking and private garden near countryside trails.
Detached Victorian cottage with bay windows and period brickwork
Portland Cottage is a charming three-bedroom detached period home in the heart of Shedfield, offering classic Victorian character with practical modern updates. The living spaces are versatile: a cosy lounge with a log burner, a separate dining room and a bright kitchen with adjoining utility/garden room that brings the outside in. Off-street parking and a private, low-maintenance rear garden are uncommon village conveniences and add everyday ease.
The house is well suited to families seeking village life and commuters wanting good road links to Winchester and the M27. The accommodation is deceptively spacious at about 1,253 sq ft across two storeys, with three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single family bathroom. Nearby good primary and secondary schools, country walks and local amenities enhance the location’s appeal.
Be clear on the practical considerations: the property has an EPC rating of D and cavity walls with no insulation (assumed), so there is scope for energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband is limited (up to circa 76 Mbps download, slower upload), and the house has just one bathroom. There is visible scope for sympathetic internal modernisation or a rear extension subject to planning, which could add value for buyers prepared to invest.
Sold freehold and offered with no forward chain, Portland Cottage is a good proposition for buyers who value period character, outdoor access and kerb appeal, and who are comfortable undertaking modest upgrades to improve energy performance and modern living comfort.
