This late 16th-century Grade II listed timber-framed cottage has been carefully restored to retain period charm while providing modern comforts. Set on nearly an acre beneath Pontesford Hill, the house offers private gardens, driveway parking and country views — ideal for someone seeking a peaceful, low-density setting.
Internally the layout suits flexible living: two main bedrooms plus a useful office/third-bedroom space, a cosy living room, rustic kitchen with pantry and utility, and an attractive bathroom. Recent renovation work means many finishes are refreshed and ready to use, while fast broadband supports remote working.
Buyers should note the listed status: any future alterations will be restricted and likely require specialist consent and cost. The cottage’s historic construction brings character but also compromises — rooms are generally small with lower-than-modern ceilings, and maintenance of period fabric should be expected. The property’s hamlet location delivers tranquillity but is more isolated than town living, with average mobile signal and simple local amenities.
Overall this home will appeal to buyers wanting immediate move-in quality combined with long-term potential in a large private plot. For those who value period character and countryside living, the cottage provides a rare setting — but prospective purchasers should factor in listed-building responsibilities and ongoing upkeep.
