Set at the top of Old Bishopstoke, this two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage combines Victorian character with clear scope for improvement. The house offers a welcoming sitting room with exposed beams and a wood-burning stove, a large kitchen, conservatory, and two well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms. Outside there are front and rear gardens, a powered shed, an outside office and side access — useful extras for home working or hobbies.
The property is offered chain free and on freehold tenure, which simplifies purchase. It sits opposite a children’s playground and is an easy walk to shops, pubs, local amenities and the scenic Itchen Navigation, making it practical for everyday family life and pleasant outdoor access. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and local crime levels are low.
Important to note: the house needs renovation and modernisation throughout, so buyers should budget for updating kitchens, bathrooms and general decoration. There is a pedestrian right of way across the rear garden for neighbours’ access; this is a standing feature of the layout. The plot is modest in size but includes useful outbuildings and garden space for planting or entertaining.
Well suited to first-time buyers or buyers seeking a renovation project with character, this property lets you add value by sensitively updating its period features. Council tax is affordable (Band C) and there is no flood risk, which may be appealing for long-term ownership planning.
