A Grade II listed cottage steeped in charm and character.

Description
Steeped in charm and character, this Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a rare opportunity to restore a quintessential Hampshire home in one of the county’s most desirable rural settings. The property sits within a surprisingly generous plot of about 0.18 acres and retains the inherent warmth and appeal of its origins, now presenting an exciting chance for sympathetic renovation throughout.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors featuring a traditional layout. A spacious and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, leading through to a well-proportioned sitting room, a further generously sized drawing room, a dining room, and a kitchen enjoying views over the garden and the beautiful countryside beyond. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom. Throughout, a wealth of period features including exposed timbers, charming fireplaces, original detailing and the timeless thatched roof, serve as a reminder of the cottage’s heritage and enduring charm.

This is a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a home that combines history, charm and potential in equal measure. Its setting being peaceful yet exceptionally well connected, together with its generous plot and period charm, ensures that Bloomfield stands out as an excellent opportunity.

Outside
The garden offers tremendous potential for an enthusiastic gardener to shape and enhance into a truly special outdoor space.

Enjoying a delightful outlook over adjoining land, the garden benefits from a peaceful and unspoilt backdrop.

In addition, there is a summerhouse, offering useful ancillary space with scope for refurbishment. Whether reimagined as a garden studio or home office, it adds further flexibility and opportunity to this appealing project.
