Grade II listed thatched cottage, circa 1625
This charming Grade II listed thatched cottage dates to 1625 and sits in the sought-after village of Bletsoe. Period features include exposed timber beams, parquet flooring and a vintage cooking range in the lounge, giving genuine character and atmospheric living space. The house has a 1960s rear extension that increases the overall footprint and provides practical room layout across two storeys.
Gardens are a major selling point: an approx. 100ft front garden and an approx. 60ft rear garden mainly laid to lawn, with a patio, potting shed, garage, workshop and parking area. Two double bedrooms upstairs (one with an en-suite), study, kitchen, utility and family bathroom provide versatile accommodation for couples or small families seeking rural village life with generous outdoor space.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed and 'listed status - will cause difficulties' is noted—any alterations will need specialist consent and could limit renovation options. Tenure is unknown and should be confirmed. The cottage has low ceilings in places and a multi-storey, historic layout which may suit those who appreciate period proportions rather than modern open-plan living. Crime in the area is reported as above average; buyers should check local safety information.
Overall this is a large, characterful cottage in an affluent village setting with strong curb appeal and substantial gardens. It will appeal to buyers looking for historic charm and outdoor space who understand the responsibilities and constraints of owning a listed thatched property.
