This Grade II listed two-bedroom detached home sits in the peaceful village of Rockbourne, offering genuine period charm with exposed beams, character fireplaces and a traditional thatched roof. The cottage feels intimate rather than expansive (about 854 sq ft) and suits buyers looking to downsize into a characterful rural home with parking and a manageable garden.
Practical benefits include a generous gravel driveway and forecourt for off-street parking, a bright sitting room that opens to a patio and garden, and countryside views from the principal bedroom. The layout is flexible with a ground-floor study/snug, a kitchen/breakfast room with an electric AGA, and two bathrooms (one en-suite).
Important considerations: the property’s listed status will impose restrictions and likely require specialist consent for alterations, repairs and maintenance — thatched roof upkeep can be costly. The kitchen cabinetry and some fittings are dated and would benefit from modernisation. There is a medium flood risk for the area; prospective buyers should obtain up-to-date flood and insurance advice before proceeding.
