A rare pair of late-Victorian semi-detached cottages set within approximately 0.6 acre of attractive grounds in the sought-after Downland village of Rockbourne. The two properties (each three bedrooms) occupy generous, well-established garden plots and benefit from off-street parking, oil-fired central heating and recently upgraded loft insulation. One cottage is presented in very good decorative order; the other is generally well maintained but has slightly dated décor.
This is a clear investment and development opportunity. Both cottages are currently let (one on a protected tenancy dating from 1974; the other on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy) providing immediate rental income. There is also a valid planning consent for a two-storey rear extension to one cottage (App. No. 23/11240), plus potential to repurpose the brick outbuilding or add a small garden office subject to permissions.
Practical points are straightforward: mains water and electricity, private drainage, oil boilers and double glazing recently replaced. Buyers should note the retained private drainage system, reliance on oil heating (not a community supply), and that one property remains occupied under a historical protected tenancy which affects vacant possession and future lettings. Overall this pair will suit investors seeking income and scope for added value, or an owner-occupier willing to manage tenancies and consider the approved extension plans.
