Set in the popular village of Brighstone, this Grade II listed thatched cottage with a converted barn offers a rare blend of historic character and flexible living. The main house provides three bedrooms and character reception rooms with exposed beams and a restored inglenook fireplace, while the detached barn conversion adds two double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen/diner — ideal for guests, extended family or holiday-let income.
The mature, very large garden and off-street parking create a private village retreat with sea glimpses and downs views. The owners have completed specialist works including repointing, inglenook restoration and bespoke secondary glazing; outside there are high-quality timber storage buildings and a summer house. The property is offered freehold and chain free.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building: any alterations will require listed-building consent and can complicate repairs. The property uses oil-fired heating and thatch demands ongoing specialist maintenance and insurance. Council tax is relatively high, reflecting the bands for the main house and cottage. Despite these constraints, the site’s large plot, proven holiday-let track record and village location make it a strong opportunity for a family or an investor seeking character accommodation in an affluent, low-crime community.
