Small Two-Bedroom Thatched Cottage For Sale In Hampshire

Take a peek inside this small Grade II listed thatched cottage in the charming village of St. Mary Bourne in Hampshire.

If you’re looking to enjoy a slower pace of life, move to a more tranquil location, or you’ve dreamt of living in a quaint cottage, then this semi-detached property – in a prime and peaceful position within the village – is a blank canvas, ready for a new homeowner to put their stamp on it.

April Cottage originally dates back to the 18th century and is full of beautiful period features. Case in point: the characterful thatched roof and painted brick and flint brickwork makes the exterior stand out from street view.

On the ground floor is a compact living space with low ceilings and a large Inglenook fireplace – all the essentials for a cosy home. This room leads into the kitchen, albeit small and extremely narrow, with a butler sink, solid wood cabinetry and a gas hob and oven.

Also on the ground floor you’ll find what can either be used as a bedroom or home office, as well as a cloakroom. Upstairs is the main bedroom complete with original flooring, an ensuite bathroom and dressing room.

The garden needs a little TLC but it will no doubt thrive in spring and summer thanks to a lovely mix of perennials and roses, plus there’s enough space to sit out and enjoy the fresh air. This outdoor space is also offered a high level of privacy – it’s bordered on two sides by a mature hedge and a tiled topped cob wall.

Lawn is laid at end of the garden, where there are views out to the Bourne Rivulet. Swans and other native wildlife often make an appearance, only adding to the charm of April Cottage.

In terms of location, there are a range of local amenities, such as two public houses, a church, a recently renovated post office/shop with its own cafe, a health centre and an excellent primary school, all within walking distance.

Those looking to commute will find train connections from the neighbouring towns of Andover and Newbury, which will take you into London Waterloo and Paddington, respectively, in less than an hour.

April Cottage is currently on the market for £350,000 via Myddelton & Major.
