Thatched Cottage is a 17th‑century Grade II detached thatched house occupying a very large plot about 0.5 miles from Eccleshall’s high street. The house blends original character — exposed beams, oak boards and inglenook fireplaces — with extended living space, offering four double bedrooms across around 2,368 sq ft. Mature lawns, raised vegetable beds, a walnut tree and seating terraces create a classic English country garden and generous outdoor living.
The house is practical for modern living: parking for 5–7 cars behind electric five‑bar gates, a separate double garage and multiple external doors from reception rooms. The principal bedroom is double‑aspect with garden views and the ground floor includes a snug, sitting room with French doors, a breakfast room adjoining a fitted kitchen and a modern ground‑floor shower room. The thatch was renewed in 2013 and the property has double glazing.
Important practical points: the home is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. The EPC rating is E and the property uses LPG boiler heating; drainage is via a private septic tank. Broadband speeds are slow in the area and council tax is band G, both factors to budget for. There is no flooding risk and the location offers low crime and excellent mobile signal.
This cottage will suit someone seeking period charm on a substantial private plot with easy access to Eccleshall’s shops and local schools. It is particularly appropriate for buyers who value historic character and garden space but understand listed‑building responsibilities and the need to manage utility and maintenance realities.
