This extended Grade II listed thatched cottage blends period character with contemporary fittings, offering surprisingly adaptable accommodation in Willingham village centre. The ground floor provides two reception rooms — one with an inglenook and multi-fuel stove — plus a modern refitted kitchen and a ground-floor ensuite, useful as a bedroom or snug. Electric underfloor heating serves most of the ground floor for comfortable low-maintenance warmth.
Upstairs has two double bedrooms, exposed beams and an attic-style landing/study with restricted head height. The cottage footprint is modest (c. 980 sq ft) and ceiling heights are lower than modern houses, so the layout suits downsizers, couples or buyers seeking character rather than large-family living. The mature, south-facing rear garden is a private sun trap and a manageable size for relaxed outdoor use.
Practical strengths include allocated off-street parking for two with an EV charge point, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Important constraints: listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some maintenance; internal rooms are cottage-scale with limited headroom in parts. Buyers should budget for listed-property upkeep despite the property’s generally high standard of presentation.
