A characterful Grade II listed thatched home dating from the 1530s, recently and sympathetically modernised. The principal bedroom is impressive, with a high vaulted ceiling and exposed timber framework that gives a strong sense of history and space. The large sitting room, limestone flooring and underfloor heating make the ground floor a comfortable place to entertain and relax.
Practical everyday living is supported by a well‑proportioned gallery kitchen, a useful boot room/office and a detached garage with off‑road parking. The cottage sits in a secluded, landscaped garden which borders Wallop Brook, providing privacy and an attractive waterside setting. A recently installed oil-fired central heating system and tasteful restorations reduce immediate overhaul needs.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status, which will impose restrictions and could complicate alterations and maintenance. The thatched roof and traditional timber-frame construction are charming but will require specialist upkeep and likely carry higher running and repair costs. The smaller second bedroom and generally modest room proportions typical of older cottages may suit downsizers or buyers seeking character rather than those needing large modern living spaces.
Set in a well-served village with local amenities and good access to nearby towns and rail links, this cottage will suit someone seeking a historic, rural home with practical modern comforts, accepting the responsibilities of owning a listed, thatched property.
