Rookery Cottage is a noteworthy 17th-century thatched residence that artfully blends historic charm with modern touches, set within the picturesque village of Urchfont. This property highlights its investment potential through its spacious layout and versatile accommodations, making it ideal for various renovation opportunities. The original features include a welcoming sitting room with an elegantly restored fireplace, which opens into an impressive oak-framed garden room boasting vaulted ceilings and panoramic views of the meticulously landscaped gardens. A separate dining area is anchored by a large inglenook fireplace equipped with a wood burner, creating an inviting atmosphere.
The bespoke kitchen is finished to a high standard but offers scope for further customization. An additional reception room with a wet room provides flexibility for potential use as a guest suite or home office, while also linking to a practical utility/boot room. The first floor accommodates two spacious bedrooms along with another single bedroom and family bathroom, all retaining period character.
Outside, the south-facing garden extends over 0.3 acres, presenting opportunities for enhancement with existing herbaceous borders and raised beds ready for further cultivation or landscaping projects. Additionally, there’s a substantial detached annexe currently serving as an office/studio, featuring vaulted ceilings and ample natural light that could be transformed for various other uses.
This property not only exudes character but also invites future owners who appreciate the unique aspects of preserving a historically significant home while embracing the chance to create their vision in this idyllic setting.
