This charming Grade II Listed thatched cottage, dating back to the 18th century, presents a unique opportunity in the desirable village of Langstone on Hampshire’s south coast. While it requires substantial renovation, this property holds significant potential for those looking to invest in a character home just moments from the waterfront.
Situated within a historic terrace of similar cottages, the location offers proximity to two inviting waterfront pubs and Langstone Sailing Club, making it ideal for those who appreciate an active coastal lifestyle. Both Portsmouth and Chichester are conveniently reachable within approximately 15 minutes by car, while Havant's mainline station provides direct services to London Waterloo, enhancing its appeal for commuters.
Upon entering the cottage, you are greeted by a semi open-plan living area that includes a sitting room and dining room, elegantly defined by exposed beams and a low dividing wall. The sitting room features a traditional fireplace with a log burner, creating a cozy atmosphere. Additionally, there is a versatile reception room that could serve as a study or snug area, also complete with its own fireplace.
On the first floor, you'll find two bedrooms accompanied by a bathroom. The larger bedroom boasts built-in wardrobe space and an attractive cast-iron fireplace. The second bedroom similarly offers built-in cupboard storage. The bathroom is positioned towards the rear and includes essential fixtures such as a panel bath with shower attachment.
The exterior of the property features a generous rear garden primarily laid to stone chippings, interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. At the far end of the garden lies an octagonal timber cabin, equipped with interior bench seating and a central fire pit—an excellent addition for outdoor gatherings.
In summary, this cottage not only embodies historical charm but also offers an exciting canvas for transformation into your dream home or rental investment. With no onward chain involved, viewing the property is highly recommended to fully appreciate its potential.
