Thatched Cottage is an exceptional Grade II listed character home, beautifully renovated and thoughtfully extended to create a truly individual family property, combining all the charm and integrity of the original cottage with superb contemporary living space. Set within a wonderfully secluded plot with established gardens, extensive garaging, a self-contained annexe and a collection of highly versatile outbuildings, this is a very special opportunity in an incredibly convenient village setting.<br/><br/>The main house is rich in period detail, with an abundance of exposed oak beams and timbers, brickwork, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves, all carefully complemented by the quality of the more recent improvements. Of particular note is the impressive oak-framed kitchen/dining room, a fabulous addition to the house with extensive glazing and doors opening directly onto the garden. The fitted kitchen has been beautifully finished with a substantial central island, generous preparation and storage space and a range-style cooker, while the exposed oak frame and stone flooring give the room enormous character and warmth.<br/><br/>The remainder of the ground floor offers equally versatile accommodation. The comfortable living room is full of character, centred around an impressive exposed brick fireplace with wood-burning stove, while a separate study provides an excellent home-working space. There is also a particularly generous utility/boot room, together with a ground-floor bedroom and shower room, giving the house considerable flexibility for family life and visiting guests.<br/><br/>Upstairs, the character continues with exposed timbers throughout. There are three further bedrooms, including an impressive principal bedroom where the wonderful oak structure of the building remains a real feature, together with well-appointed bathroom facilities. In total, the main cottage provides approximately 2,063 sq. ft. of accommodation, arranged over two floors.<br/><br/>A major attraction of Thatched Cottage is the additional accommodation and outbuildings surrounding the house. A detached, fully renovated self-contained annexe provides a studio room, kitchenette and shower room, ideal for guests, extended family or a host of other uses.<br/><br/>There is also an impressive double open-fronted car barn with an adjoining enclosed garage/store, above which is a substantial first-floor room measuring approximately 28’3” x 15’1”. Currently shown as an office/loft room, this provides fantastic additional space away from the main house and would lend itself perfectly to working from home, a studio, games room or hobby space.<br/><br/>Further detached timber buildings add yet another dimension to the property. These include a log cabin, store and two-bedroom cabin, creating an incredibly versatile collection of spaces that could suit hobbies, recreation, home working or ancillary purposes. Altogether, the house, annexe and outbuildings extend to approximately 3,254 sq. ft.<br/><br/>Outside, the setting is every bit as appealing as the accommodation. The cottage sits beautifully within its plot, surrounded by established and wonderfully private gardens, with areas of lawn, mature trees and hedging, paved terraces and numerous places to sit and entertain. The traditional thatched elevations, oak-framed addition and attractive brickwork create a particularly picturesque backdrop, while the generous gravelled parking and courtyard area provides excellent access to the garaging and outbuildings.<br/><br/>Despite its secluded feel, Thatched Cottage is exceptionally well placed for North Warnborough village and the surrounding Hampshire countryside, while remaining convenient for Basingstoke, Hook, Odiham and the wider network of neighbouring towns and villages. Road and rail connections are also readily accessible, making this an excellent proposition for anyone wanting genuine country character without feeling isolated.<br/><br/>Hart District Council.
