4 bed 1 bath Character Property
Charming rural project close to Buntingford and Baldock.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with period features
This Grade II listed thatched cottage in Cottered is a rare character home with genuine restoration potential. The 2024 re-thatch secures the roof for the near future, and the house retains strong period features: exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and original proportions that create classic cottage atmosphere.
The layout offers two reception rooms and four decent bedrooms across two floors, suited to a family seeking village life or buyers wanting a countryside retreat. The rear garden is mature and private with a very large plot overall, timber shed and greenhouse — plenty of scope for landscaping or extension (subject to listed consent).
The property needs modernisation throughout and is Grade II listed, so works will require specialist planning and may be restricted. The fireplace cannot be used as a log burner or open fire due to current regulations and chimney height. Heating relies on an oil-fired boiler and an oil tank is on site.
Practicalities to note: there is a single bathroom, average broadband speeds, above-average council tax and rights of way for a neighbour to use the front passage. With its listed status and renovation requirements, this house is best for buyers prepared for a sympathetic restoration project who value historic character and village living.
