Set within a quarter of an acre in a peaceful hamlet, this mid-17th century thatched cottage blends authentic period features with a sympathetic 2017 extension. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms — a large study, separate lounge with wood-burning stove, open-plan kitchen/dining and a snug — arranged over multiple levels to create light and flexible family living.
Sleeping three double bedrooms, all with en-suites, the layout suits families or professionals seeking countryside space with privacy. The principal suite includes a dressing room and a substantial five-piece bathroom, while two further large double bedrooms occupy the newer wing. An oversized study provides excellent home-working space.
Outdoor living is a strong asset: a long gravel drive, automated five-bar gate, double garage/workshop and parking for multiple cars lead to landscaped front and rear gardens. A rear courtyard patio opens onto farmland with extensive, uninterrupted views and a private field gate that gives direct access to miles of walking country.
Practical points are clear and factual: the property is freehold, heated by oil (with the original house also using an AGA), has a water softener and fast broadband, but a thatched roof and a rural location bring ongoing maintenance considerations and occasional accessibility trade-offs. Overall this is a character-rich home for buyers who value space, privacy and countryside lifestyle.
