Set within approximately 1.6 acres of mature grounds, this Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a rare combination of period character and generous family accommodation. Converted from two cottages, the house provides four double bedrooms across two separate staircases, two family bathrooms and a range of reception rooms including sitting room, dining room and a snug. The estate includes a garage, ample gravel parking for multiple vehicles and an outdoor swimming pool, all set in a private, countryside setting.
The location suits families seeking village life with strong schooling options: Sedgeberrow CofE First School (Outstanding) is nearby and the property falls within catchments for Bredon Hill Academy and Prince Henry’s High School. Evesham (three miles) and good road links to the M5 and Cheltenham make commuting and amenities straightforward. Flood risk is very low and the plot offers versatility for hobby farming, gardens or equestrian use.
Important practical notes: the house is Grade II listed, so any external or structural alterations will be restricted and likely require specialist consent and higher maintenance costs. The property is Freehold but EPC status is Exempt (historically rated band G) and council tax is described as quite expensive. Buyers should expect maintenance and repair obligations typical of older thatched buildings and plan surveys accordingly.
Overall this is a distinctive, private family home for a buyer who values character, space and countryside living, and who is comfortable managing the responsibilities of a listed thatched property. The combination of plot size, parking and ancillary accommodation offers clear potential for adaptation within the limits of listed status.
