High Street, Wherwell, Andover, Hampshire, Sp11

A surprisingly spacious and charming extended semi-detached Grade II listed cottage with off-road parking, a large detached double garage with separate workshop and loft room, standing in attractive secluded gardens in the heart of Wherwell.

Cob Cottage is a Grade II Listed thatched home that has been extended to the rear under a tiled roof, creating a well-proportioned and characterful residence, ideal for young families or those looking to downsize. Carefully maintained by the previous owner, it features a charming sitting room with beams and a fireplace with a wood burning stove, small study area, central dining room opening into a well-fitted kitchen with separate utility/extended kitchen, and a first-floor principal bedroom with ensuite, alongside two further double bedrooms sharing the main bathroom. The private, landscaped front and rear gardens lead to a detached outbuilding comprising a double garage, separate workshop, and loft room, offering versatile space with potential for ancillary accommodation, subject to consent.

The property is situated in Wherwell, a Conservation village renowned for its many period properties, which has a public house and primary school. There are charming country walks nearby including one along an unspoilt lane to the fine old church, and another across a long footbridge to The Common and neighbouring village of Chilbolton. The nearby town of Andover offers a comprehensive range of shopping, educational and leisure facilities, as well as a mainline railway station providing fast services to Waterloo. The A303 is close at hand allowing convenient access to London and the West Country, and the cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury are approximately 15 minutes and 25 minutes distant respectively.
