Full Details for 3 Bedroom Cottage for sale in Romsey, SO51 :
A charming Grade II Listed thatched cottage with origins believed to date back more than 200 years, set within stunning manicured gardens approaching 1/2 acre in the delightful village of East Tytherley.
Owners Comments
“We fell in love with our quintessential English cottage with pub and cricket pitch nearby and surrounded by mature oak parkland and fields. We will miss the wonderful privacy of our garden and the evenings playing croquet on the lawn in front of the summer house.”
“Aberdeen Cottage is set in a beautiful rural hamlet yet is so conveniently situated to the Solent for sailing, the New Forest for walking and the Test Valley for fishing.”
Introduction
Centrally positioned in its established grounds within one of the most sought after locations in the village and surrounded by open farmland, this quintessential thatched cottage retains all the wealth and charm associated with its era subtly blended with all the requisites of modern day living. Exposed beams, open fireplaces and wooden latch doors fuse seamlessly with modern practicality from a recent extensive programme of improvements including a stylish modern family bathroom, an exquisite hand crafted ‘Plain English’ kitchen and the erection of a substantial barn style four bay garage. Although wonderfully quaint, the charming accommodation is surprisingly substantial with three double bedrooms and two generous reception rooms, both offering bright and spacious family accommodation, unusual for a home of its era. The well stocked gardens are equally impressive, extending to approximately 1/2 acre, incorporating a croquet lawn, summer house, Edwardian greenhouse and Victorian outbuilding ideal for further extension (STTP). Aberdeen Cottage offers elegant charm with easy modern living in a beautiful tranquil village environment.
Description
The covered entrance provides access to the beautiful bespoke ‘Plain English’ fitted kitchen with wooden worktops, and double butler’s sink. Although centred upon the traditional oil fired Aga there are also modern cooking appliances including a pyrolytic electric oven and four ring induction hob. There is ample space for a breakfast table and chairs set upon a quarry stone tiled floor. The drawing room is spacious with exposed ceiling beams featuring a wonderful open fireplace, providing an attractive focal point to the room. Large picture windows provide views over the front garden. A door opens to the dining room which enjoys a dual aspect and views over the croquet lawn and features an attractive chimney recess. The inner hallway spans the rear of the property and provides access to the two reception rooms whilst accommodating the utility area with space for a washer dryer and butler’s sink, as well as a study area. There is also access to the family bathroom which has been modernised to comprise an extra deep bath, low level w/c and pedestal wash hand basin. There are two staircases to the first floor and three generously sized bedrooms with two featuring wash hand basins and fitted wardrobes.
Outside
With views to open farmland from every aspect, Aberdeen Cottage enjoys a perfect central position within a generous plot approaching ½ an acre. The property is approached by a gravel drive extending to the rear boundary providing access to a four bay barn style garage with two sliding doors, power, lighting and presently accommodating three cars, a workshop and ample storage space. There is an adjacent Summer House and an original privy building currently used as a tool shed. Enclosed by a variety of hedges providing a high degree of privacy and seclusion, the extensive garden has been beautifully planted and surrounds the entire property. The gardens are a beautiful feature of this home including many traditional cottage garden plants, fruit trees, raspberry canes and vegetable patch. The garden is an ideal venue for Summer entertaining with ample space for alfresco dining coupled with the croquet lawn for recreation.
Location
East Tytherley is a highly regarded village with a small but active community enjoying many traditional amenities including village shop in neighbouring West Tytherley and Lockerley.

Agents Notes
Originally an estate cottage for Lockerley Hall, Aberdeen Cottage still retains its original Victorian outhouse ideal for conversion (STTP). The cottage has undergone a sympathetic modernisation programme undertaken by our clients, retaining its character but offering more practical family accommodation. The heating is oil fired with septic tank drainage. The thatch was re-ridged in 2007.
