This is an intriguing opportunity to own a pair of characterful cottages, set within approximately 0.8 acres of picturesque gardens in a tranquil village surrounded by beautiful countryside. The first cottage, Winterbourne Cottage, is a substantial Grade II listed property with origins believed to date back to the 1500s. While it offers abundant charm with its exposed beams and inglenook fireplace, it requires comprehensive modernisation, making it an ideal project for those looking to invest in a renovation that preserves historic character while updating the living spaces. Features include a spacious reception hall, a cozy sitting room, and a dining room with an additional study area and utility room on the ground floor. The first floor boasts four bedrooms with good proportions, including a magnificent main bedroom with vaulted ceilings. There is also potential to create extra facilities in one of the bedrooms. Next door, Bourne Cottage presents more manageable accommodation that has been well maintained but still holds opportunities for enhancement. With two double bedrooms and attractive living spaces including an orangery and woodburning stove, this cottage could serve as guest accommodation or offer rental potential. The extensive gardens provide serene outdoor space where you can enjoy country views and include features such as a charming shepherd's hut suitable for additional guest accommodation. Although both cottages are conveniently located close to amenities in nearby villages and towns, their rural setting ensures peace and privacy. This property offers not only living space but also the prospect for future value appreciation through thoughtful renovations.
