Nestled privately along a secluded drive, St. Swithins Cottage is a picturesque 16th-century cottage located in the heart of Hurst village. With its enchanting beamed ceilings and intricate brickwork, this historic residence exudes charm while presenting a significant opportunity for renovation and enhancement to increase its value. Previously utilized as a short-stay rental, it has been well-received by guests who appreciate both the cozy interior and the inviting outdoor spaces that facilitate entertaining. The outside bar area with festoon lighting offers an ideal setting for gatherings, complemented by expansive views over surrounding fields.
Internally, the cottage showcases exposed timber beams and natural wood floors which add character throughout. The spacious triple-aspect living room, with its log burner, invites warmth and comfort during colder months. While the country-style kitchen features classic aesthetics such as terracotta tiles and an AGA Rayburn, some updates could improve functionality while retaining its rustic charm.
Upstairs, several bedrooms provide ample accommodation options, though varied renovation would enhance their appeal further to potential buyers or renters. The property also includes a sizeable double garage with conversion potential for additional living space (subject to planning permission), providing flexibility for future use. Outside, the expansive lawn area alongside beautifully landscaped gardens creates inviting spaces for recreation and relaxation.
With notable local amenities and community spirit within Hurst village, combined with easy access to transport links in Twyford for commuters, St. Swithins Cottage stands out as both a unique home and an attractive investment opportunity waiting for your personal touch.
