Winterbourne Cottage is an impressive Grade II listed thatched residence, with origins tracing back to the 16th century and featuring subsequent extensions from the 1970s. Spanning over 2,400 sq ft, this property presents an ideal canvas for those looking to undertake significant refurbishment and modernization work. It consists of four bedrooms adorned with charming period characteristics such as exposed timber beams and multiple fireplaces. The ground floor layout includes a reception hall, a sitting room featuring an inglenook fireplace, a dining room, a kitchen which leads to the garden, a study, and a utility room. The upper level boasts three main bedrooms, including an eye-catching vaulted ceiling in the principal bedroom along with a family bathroom and an additional fourth double bedroom that carries potential for ensuite development.
The adjacent Bourne Cottage offers further investment possibilities; this well-maintained 19th-century dwelling has its own kitchen/dining area equipped with an Esse range cooker, a cozy sitting room with wood burning stove, an orangery that opens into the garden, and two first-floor double bedrooms.
Set on approximately 0.8 acres of picturesque gardens accessible via a five-bar gate and ample parking space, both cottages are enveloped by mature landscaping, fruit trees, and expansive views of the countryside. The rear terrace of Bourne Cottage is suited for outdoor entertaining while the presence of a Shepherd’s hut adds unique charm and possible alternative usage.
Located in Stoke within the scenic Bourne Valley region—just about a mile from St Mary Bourne which offers local amenities including shops and pubs—this property lies within reach of Andover's extensive facilities (around 5 miles away). The area is well-connected with train services to London Waterloo available from Whitchurch and Andover, while road links provide easy access to Oxford and Southampton.
