Life at 51 Broad Street
A beautifully proportioned Georgian home on one of Hampshire's most admired streets, with a peaceful garden, flexible studio space and an optional nearby parking space. Moments from river walks, charming shops and cafés, this Grade II listed cottage offers a quintessential Alresford lifestyle.
Full of Charm & Character
Broad Street is the most celebrated address in Alresford - an elegant, tree-lined street of Georgian homes with wide pavements and a strong sense of history. Number 51 sits quietly at the end of the street, near the River Arle and the town's beautiful water meadows.
Set behind a symmetrical, sash-windowed façade, this gracious Grade II listed cottage is full of charm and original features, with a sunny courtyard garden and a detached studio building.
Welcome Home
Step through the classic six-panelled front door into a wide entrance hallway with original wooden flooring and a calm, elegant feel.
To the right is a beautifully lit sitting room, featuring a period fireplace with gas fire, sash window, working shutters, and discreet understairs storage. On the other side of the hall, the dining room also boasts a fireplace and fitted cabinetry, with another large sash window and original detailing.
At the rear of the house, the kitchen is a warm and welcoming space with hand-built timber units, solid wood worktops and an Everhot electric stove in soft sage green. There's a window over the sink and a glazed door leading straight out into the garden, creating a wonderful link between indoor and outdoor living in warmer months.
A hatch in the hallway opens to reveal a tanked cellar, currently used for storage and wine, and fitted with a large wine rack.
Rest & Retreat
Upstairs are two generous double bedrooms, both with beautiful sash windows, working shutters and built-in wardrobes. Each room faces Broad Street and enjoys a lovely view up the street towards the church, framed by period houses and mature trees.
The principal bedroom features a charming fireplace with fitted cupboards to either side - a detail that adds to the room's warmth and character.
The bathroom is a lovely space - light, well-finished and thoughtfully designed - with a freestanding oval bath, a separate walk-in shower, WC and basin.
The landing includes fitted cupboards, open shelving and a pull-down ladder to a large boarded loft for storage. There is also space here for a small desk or study area - a useful nook for working or reading.
Garden & Studio
The garden at 51 Broad Street is a true retreat - quiet, private and walled on all sides. A paved seating area is surrounded by mature beds and climbing plants, with a graceful metal arch forming a focal point. It's a lovely space for outdoor dining, morning coffee or reading in the sun.
At the end of the garden stands a detached studio outbuilding - once a garage - now converted into a bright, flexible space with lighting, power, a cloakroom and additional storage. Currently used as a creative workspace, it would suit a wide range of uses, from a home office to a quiet retreat. It could also be reinstated as a garage, subject to the usual consents.
A private parking space is located just a short walk away, between Nos. 46 and 48 Broad Street. It is held on a 99-year lease from 29 September 2016, with approximately 90 years remaining. This space is not included in the house sale but is available by separate negotiation.
