Set in the Test Valley village of Kings Somborne, Middle Thatched Cottage is a Grade II listed two-bedroom home combining authentic period character with recent upgrades. Vaulted bedrooms with exposed beams, a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and a private rear garden with open countryside views create a quintessential rural retreat. The property benefits from driveway parking for two cars and good broadband and mobile coverage for modern living.
The cottage has been recently refurbished: new timber-framed windows, a 2020 bathroom, refreshed electrics and lighting, floorboards and new carpets upstairs, and regular thatch maintenance. These works make the house move-in ready while retaining historic features such as wattle-and-daub panels, lime plaster, and traditional thatch. Access to Winchester, Romsey, Salisbury and nearby Stockbridge suits buyers wanting village life with strong transport links.
Buyers should note material considerations: the home is Grade II listed which limits alterations and can make maintenance more costly and more regulated. The property uses oil-fired central heating (private supply) and the flood risk is rated medium — important for insurance and future-proofing. There is a small plot size and the house’s age means some timbers show historic darkening from past fire damage that was repaired during earlier restoration.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a characterful, low-density village home who accepts listed-building responsibilities and periodic thatch upkeep. It offers immediate charm and comfort with scope for sympathetic improvement, rather than a blank‑canvas renovation.
