Set on Heath End Road in sought-after Baughurst, this deceptively spacious early-19th-century detached cottage offers characterful family living with flexible accommodation. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and a large rustic kitchen with an AGA provide the kind of period charm that suits family life, entertaining and cosy evenings. The property includes a self-contained studio annexe — ideal for a teenager, home office or rental income — plus a timber workshop with power.
Externally the house sits on a large plot with off-street parking, a brick-paved courtyard with raised beds, a low-maintenance side courtyard and an enclosed lawned garden with a pergola-covered patio. The grounds offer practical outdoor space for children and pets and scope for further landscaping or garden projects to suit a growing family.
Practical points to note: the property is solid brick and assumed to have no built-in wall insulation, broadband speeds are slow and the title is under review; a statutory declaration and indemnity insurance will be supplied for additional garden land. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators; council tax is in Band F. These are straightforward items to factor into any refurbishment or modernisation plan.
This home will suit buyers who value period character, space and flexible living rather than a fully modernised turnkey property. With good local schools nearby, low local crime and a rural yet well-connected feel, it’s a strong proposition for families seeking a character home with scope to update and personalise.
