Spacious character home on 2.18 acres with annexe and extensive outdoor entertaining.
Thatched period cottage extended for modern family living
Grogrom Cottage is a rare thatched period home extended and arranged to provide the scale and flow of a modern family house. Set in about 2.18 acres of private grounds, the property combines character features — exposed beams, brick and ivy-clad elevations — with generous living space approaching 4,341 sq ft. A one-bedroom annexe offers flexible accommodation for guests, staff or rental income.
The ground floor centres on a large open-plan kitchen/dining area with a four-oven oil-fired Aga, two garden rooms and direct access to south-facing lawns. Outside is an established alfresco entertainment zone with outdoor kitchen, bar, pizza oven and spa, plus a long gated gravel drive, large garage and double carport. The setting is rural and private with equestrian potential and low local crime.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the home is thatched and will carry the maintenance and insurance implications of a traditional roof; heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are very slow; and council tax is very expensive. The build predates 1900 and cavity walls are only partially insulated (assumed), so buyers seeking high thermal efficiency should budget for upgrades.
This property will suit families or buyers seeking a character home with space for outdoor living, hobby farming or equestrian uses. It’s presented to feel immediately comfortable but rewards further investment for those wanting improved energy performance and modern connectivity.
