1 and 2 Thatched Cottages is an attractive Grade II Listed property, set in a peaceful yet well-connected position between bustling Havant and the picturesque harbourside town of Emsworth. Dating from the 16th century, the cottage features timber-frame and painted brick-infill elevations beneath a splendid, thatched roof (replaced in 2024), while inside, a wealth of original character features creates a wonderfully atmospheric home, all set within idyllic country gardens.
The ground floor provides three comfortable and beautifully presented reception rooms, including the formal dining room at the heart of the home, which also serves as an entrance hall to the main front entrance. With heavy timber beams overhead and a brick-built fireplace fitted with a gas fired stove, it provides an impressive setting for entertaining. The sitting room offers a relaxing retreat, with wooden flooring and a fireplace with gas fired stove, while the adjoining study provides an ideal private space for home working. The kitchen and breakfast room features tiled flooring, Shaker-style cabinetry and a range cooker, together with space for a breakfast table. Towards the rear, a useful utility room leads to a bright garden room within a modern extension, featuring a vaulted ceiling and south-facing bi-fold doors opening onto the beautiful gardens.
Upstairs are three well-appointed bedrooms, all benefiting from built-in storage, together with a family bathroom featuring a contemporary freestanding bathtub and a separate shower room. Within the grounds, a detached studio provides valuable additional accommodation, suitable as a workspace or ancillary accommodation for guests or family members. Three light and airy rooms with neutral styling are complemented by a shower room and WC.
