Description

Presenting an exceptional opportunity to restore a Grade II listed detached house nestled in the sought-after village of Beauworth, conveniently located near Winchester and Alresford. Park Cottage, sitting on a secluded quarter-acre plot, enjoys lovely southerly views over the picturesque South Downs National Park. The property has been tenanted for the past 50 years and requires comprehensive refurbishment throughout. With properties in this charming area rarely coming to market, this is a chance to own a characterful home in a tranquil rural setting, available with no onward chain. Upon entering, the front door leads into a hall with stairs ascending to the first floor. To the right, you’ll find a sitting room, while straight ahead is a spacious dining room featuring a fireplace. Adjoining this space is the kitchen with access to the garden. Additional amenities on the ground floor include a bathroom and utility/scullery area with stairs leading down to a cellar. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, and one of these features stairs leading up to an attic that offers potential for further accommodation. Beauworth itself is a quaint hamlet situated approximately 4 miles from Alresford and 6½ miles southeast of Winchester, surrounded by beautiful countryside ideal for walking enthusiasts. Close by are essential amenities such as schools and shops in Cheriton along with the charming Georgian market town of Alresford offering boutique shopping experiences. The location also benefits from excellent transport links to central London and Southampton International airport via nearby motorways.

Grade ELow opportunity

Confidence: LOW

Park Cottage presents a unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed detached house in a desirable rural location, but it comes with significant caveats. While the property boasts four bedrooms and a generous 1,299 sq ft of space, it requires a full refurbishment from top to bottom, and the asking price of £650,000 is above local averages, making it a potentially expensive venture. The house's secluded quarter-acre plot and lovely views over the South Downs National Park add charm, yet the overall economics remain uncertain, with insufficient data on renovation costs and no clear post-renovation value provided.

The layout of the house offers interesting possibilities, including the potential to convert the attic for additional living space. The setting in Beauworth, a quiet hamlet close to Alresford and Winchester, is appealing for those seeking a rural lifestyle. However, the recent negative growth in the area and a lack of comparable sales may make this a risky investment if you're looking for a quick turnaround or clear value appreciation. While the character of the home and its location are definite highlights, buyers should proceed with caution given the high asking price relative to local market conditions and the unknowns surrounding the property's condition and renovation needs.

Key opportunities

  • Four bedrooms provide ample space for family living or potential rental income.
  • The attic space offers possibilities for further accommodation, enhancing the property's value.
  • The secluded garden and views over the South Downs National Park create a tranquil setting.

Key risks

  • The asking price is above local averages, raising concerns about overall value.
  • The property requires full refurbishment, and renovation costs are unknown.
  • Recent negative growth in the area could impact future resale value.
