Ivydene Cottage is a rare Grade II listed thatched home dating to the 16th century, recently renovated to blend period charm with modern heating and conveniences. The house offers 120 sq m (approx. 1,291 sq ft) of versatile accommodation including a newly fitted kitchen with French doors to a sunny south-facing garden and a living room with exposed beams and a multi-fuel burner.
Set on a generous, well-landscaped plot with driveway parking for multiple vehicles, the cottage provides a tranquil, village-edge feel while remaining within easy reach of Southampton and Romsey. The layout includes a flexible ground-floor study/bedroom four and three further double bedrooms upstairs, suiting families or buyers seeking an atmospheric principal residence.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: alterations will be constrained and maintenance of thatch requires specialist care and insurance. There is a single main bathroom and low ceilings in parts of the house, reflecting its historic construction. Council tax is above average, and prospective purchasers should factor ongoing heritage upkeep into running costs.
For those who value history, privacy and a sunny rear garden, Ivydene offers an exceptional heritage home already updated for contemporary living. It will particularly suit buyers looking for a characterful family home with countryside ambience close to urban amenities.
