Renovated Grade II cottage with south-facing courtyard and private parking.
Grade II listed — restrictions on alterations and potential difficulties applying for consent
A compact Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Havant, this recently renovated two-bedroom home pairs period character with contemporary finishes. The open-plan ground floor creates a sociable living, dining and kitchen zone with double doors out to a sunny, south-facing courtyard — a rare private outdoor space in the town centre. The property is offered chain free and includes one allocated off-street parking space to the rear.
Accommodation is arranged over four levels: a sitting room, a kitchen/diner, a large first-floor bedroom and bathroom, and a second-floor bedroom set within the former attic. Rooms are well proportioned for the overall footprint, but the house is small overall (approximately 413 sq ft). The basement cellar has been finished as usable space but has a restricted head height (about 5'2"), limiting some uses.
Practical points to note: the listed status preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and may complicate works or extensions. The exterior shows typical age-related wear (roof moss, weathering). The area benefits from excellent transport links, local shops, Waitrose and Havant station within easy walking distance, making this a convenient central base for commuting or local life.
This home will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking a low-maintenance, characterful property close to amenities who are comfortable with the limitations of a small, listed town-centre house. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, private courtyard and allocated parking.
