Description

Nestled in the charming village of Braishfield, this two-bedroom cob-style cottage presents an exciting opportunity for renovation and investment. Renowned for its strong sense of community and picturesque rural appeal, Braishfield is a desirable country village that boasts traditional amenities including a high-achieving primary school, a local church, a social club, and an award-winning delicatessen. The property’s location offers convenient access to the historic market town of Romsey, where residents can explore various shops, restaurants, and a train station. The cottage features a welcoming sitting room with a characteristic fireplace equipped with an inset wood burner (currently not in use) and a window providing natural light. Adjacent to this space is a hallway leading to essential living areas. The dining room showcases another feature fireplace and overlooks the side and rear gardens. Access to the kitchen is available from here as well; the kitchen includes oak-fronted units and ample space for appliances, presenting an opportunity for significant upgrades. A conservatory adjoins the dining area and opens directly to the rear garden, enhancing the property's potential for indoor-outdoor living. The ground floor also includes a bathroom fitted with a corner bath and essential fixtures. Upstairs are two bedrooms that offer opportunities for personalization. Both include storage options and windows that look out onto the front aspect, providing potential for modern updates or expansions. Outside, the property sits on a corner plot with an enclosed front garden predominantly laid to lawn alongside mature trees and flowering shrubs. The rear garden adds charm with its variety of plants and includes practical features such as a garden shed and greenhouse. Notably, there is also parking access via Kiln Lane with potential space for additional structures like a garage or carport (subject to planning permissions). This cob-style cottage represents unique investment potential in an attractive village setting. While classified as non-standard construction—possibly affecting mortgage options—it invites creative vision from those willing to renovate into their ideal home or capitalize on rental demand in this sought-after area.
