Set on a quiet no-through lane in sought-after Hardington Moor, this Grade II thatched cottage blends period charm with practical living. The house offers three double bedrooms, an inglenook fireplace, and a recently fitted country-style kitchen that opens via French doors onto a large, mature garden — ideal for family life and outdoor entertaining.
Practical benefits include a large driveway, electrically operated double garage, and oil-fired central heating (estimated c. £70/month). The owner reports the thatch is in excellent condition and a full survey and property report from 2022 are available on request. The property is chain-free and ready for a new owner to move in and enjoy village living.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building; alterations will be restricted and listed status may complicate renovations or extensions. Broadband speeds in the village are slow, and heating relies on oil rather than mains gas. Council tax is above average, and the building’s age and traditional construction mean ongoing maintenance should be expected.
This cottage will suit buyers seeking character, space and a rural lifestyle — families or downsizers who value village community, countryside walks and well-proportioned outdoor space. The guide price is £465,000–£485,000 and the seller can provide the 2022 survey to serious buyers.
