Tucked on High Street in Church Eaton, this Grade II listed 17th‑century thatched cottage combines historic character with usable family space. Set on a large private plot, the property benefits from mature gardens, a substantial detached garage with room for multiple cars and a tarmac driveway — rare practical assets for a period home.
Internally the house offers traditional rooms with exposed beams, leaded windows and a generous lounge centred on an inglenook fireplace. The ground floor includes a sitting room, breakfast kitchen, utility and guest WC; upstairs are four bedrooms, a main en‑suite and a family bathroom. Room proportions are comfortable for family living, though some ceilings are lower in keeping with the cottage’s age.
Buyers should note this is a listed building; any alterations will require Listed Building Consent and this can complicate renovations or modernisation. Thatched roofs and timber frames also demand specialist maintenance and higher ongoing costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the village location means more limited local services — although the area is peaceful, affluent and low crime.
For families looking for countryside character with practical outdoor space, this cottage offers a rare combination of history and functionality. It will suit purchasers who value period detail and who are realistic about the care and consent obligations that come with a Grade II listed thatched home.
