Set within Westbourne village, this Grade II listed flint-and-brick cottage blends Georgian character with modern comforts. The living room centres on a wood-burning stove; the refitted ‘cottage’ kitchen includes underfloor heating and a bespoke larder. Two double bedrooms (one with large eaves storage) and a first-floor bathroom make efficient use of the 721 sq ft. A tidy, secluded garden and a flexible outbuilding/study add practical outdoor and work-from-home space.
The house is presented in good order and will suit first-time buyers, couples or those seeking a peaceful village base close to Emsworth. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and local amenities — shops, pubs and schools — are within easy walking distance. The property is freehold and council tax is described as affordable.
Important practical points: the home is Grade II listed, which preserves character but can limit alterations and may make some upgrades more complex and costly. Parking is on-street only and the plot is small, so outdoor space and parking are limited compared with detached properties. Buyers should commission their own survey to confirm condition and listed-building implications.
Overall, this is a charming, well-presented cottage that offers character, low running convenience in the kitchen, and a useful outbuilding — ideal for someone who values village life and period features while accepting the constraints of a listed terraced cottage.
