Summary - Elizabethan Cottage, Chapel Lane, Timsbury, ROMSEY SO51 0NW
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious country home with pool, paddocks and versatile garden outbuilding.
Grade II listed thatch cottage with abundant period features
Elizabethan Cottage is a Grade II listed, thatch-roof family home set within approximately two acres of gardens and paddocks, privately positioned in the Test Valley village of Timsbury. The house blends historic character—exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces—with a large, modern kitchen/breakfast room, four double bedrooms and two en‑suites, ideal for family life and entertaining.
The grounds are a major asset: about 0.75 acres of cultivated gardens with terrace, heated swimming pool, hot tub, fish pond and a southerly aspect, plus 1.25 acres divided into three paddocks with portable stables, power and water. A versatile garden room with kitchenette, WC and mezzanine adds useful ancillary space for guests, a home gym or workspace.
Practical positives include extensive off‑street parking on a large circular driveway, fast broadband, low crime and planning permission for a double car barn with room above (TVS.04543/1). A car charger is provided but not yet connected.
Important considerations: the listed status protects the building and will restrict alterations and may involve higher maintenance costs, particularly for historic thatch and timber. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Mobile signal is average. Buyers should factor in ongoing upkeep and any Listed Building Consent requirements before committing to structural changes.
