Farnham Road, Odiham, Hook, Hampshire, RG29

A charming Grade II listed period property with a home office/studio in the heart of Odiham.

Description

This charming two bedroom period cottage is ideally positioned in the heart of the sought after village of Odiham, in close proximity to the village’s excellent range of local shops, cafés and amenities.

Wren Cottage is a beautifully presented Grade II listed home dating back to circa 1310, rich in character and original features throughout. Exposed timber beams, brickwork fireplaces and traditional latch doors sit perfectly alongside sympathetic modern updates, creating a wonderful balance of historic charm and contemporary comfort. The current owners have carefully enhanced both the interior and exterior to an impressive standard.

The welcoming sitting room is full of character, centred around a striking exposed brick fireplace with wood burning stove, creating a warm and cosy atmosphere. To the rear, the high-specification kitchen/dining room has been tastefully updated, featuring partially integrated appliances, Quartz worktops and generous fitted storage. Completing the ground floor is the beautifully updated bathroom, fitted with an elegant freestanding slipper bath.

Stairs lead to two well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom is particularly charming, boasting a vaulted ceiling that enhances the sense of space, while the second bedroom benefits from loft access, offering useful additional storage potential.

To the rear of the cottage lies an enchanting, partially walled garden that perfectly complements the character of the property. Mature flower borders, established shrubs and trees provide colour and interest throughout the seasons, while a generous paved patio with pergola creates an ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. Meandering pathways lead through lawned areas to further seating, a greenhouse and kitchen garden. A charming outbuilding overlooking the garden, complete with power and lighting, offers an excellent home office, studio or peaceful retreat.
