Andover, SP11

This characterful and most attractive Grade II-listed thatched cottage forms one half of a pair of semi-detached cottages, in a prime village position and with lovely gardens to the rear. The property is believed to be 17th century with later additions and is timber framed, with the exposed beams seen internally throughout and additional character features such as an open fireplace, traditional wooden doors and exposed brick detailing. The property is attractively appointed in a modern country style with neutral walls and floors, making it ready for personalisation by the new owner.

The property comprises a sitting room, dining room/office and kitchen on the ground floor, with two bedrooms and a bath/shower room upstairs. The home would be ideal for downsizers or those looking for a second home in the country with versatile accommodation. The addition of the detached annexe offers further self-contained accommodation including a bedroom with en suite WC, a shower room and an open plan kitchen/dining room/living room. This could be used as an income generator or used for older children or visiting guests.
