Luzborough Cottage, a Grade II-listed property on the outskirts of Romsey, Hampshire, has been placed on the market for £800,000—a price that reflects its blend of heritage charm, adaptable living space, and rare equestrian amenities.
The four-bedroom home, marketed by Henshaw Fox Estate Agents, sits on approximately 0.4 acres of mature gardens with views over adjoining fields. Its interior layout offers dual functionality: it can operate as a standalone family residence or be partitioned into a self-contained annexe for multi-generational living. The ground floor features an entrance hall leading to a kitchen, sitting room with a wood-burning stove, and a utility room with a WC. A separate kitchenette on the annexe side provides a secondary cooking space with direct garden access.

Upstairs, the first floor includes two double bedrooms with built-in storage, one with a partially open en-suite. The annexe section centers on a spacious family room, giving access to a ground-floor double bedroom, bathroom, and a garden room with French doors. A second staircase leads to a vaulted-top bedroom with exposed beams and an en-suite bathroom featuring further period detailing.

The gardens are predominantly lawned, bordered by mature trees and hedging for privacy. At the rear, an enclosed yard houses a double stable block complete with a tack room, workshop, store room, and an outdoor WC. All outbuildings are secured with power and lighting. Adjoining the yard are two single garages with electric doors, power, and lighting. Above the garages, a storage room accessed via external stairs offers potential for conversion subject to planning consent.
💡 Pro Tip
Consult a heritage consultant early if you plan alterations—the Grade II listing imposes specific controls on external changes, particularly roofing and window replacements.
The property is located 1.7 miles from Romsey town centre and the railway station, providing easy access to local amenities and the countryside. Tom Henshaw, managing director at Henshaw Fox, said: “This is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking both village life and equestrian facilities without sacrificing space or privacy.” Electric gates open to a driveway capable of parking multiple vehicles, with the garages providing secure cover for two cars.
