Charming three-bedroom village home with generous garden and easy commuter links.
- Grade II listed thatched cottage with original timber framing
Set on a generous plot in Wolvey village, this Grade II thatched house dates from the late 17th century and has been sensitively extended. The current owners have kept the property in excellent condition, preserving timber framing, exposed beams and traditional brickwork while creating a practical kitchen and extra bedroom. Off-street parking and a well-kept cottage garden add usable outdoor space for family life.
The house offers three bedrooms and one bathroom across multiple floors with characterful, modestly sized rooms and standard ceiling heights typical of period cottages. Heating is via a mains-gas boiler with radiators; windows are double glazed though installation date is unknown. The EPC is D and council tax is above average.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — Grade II listing protects historic features but will restrict some alterations and may complicate repairs. There is only one bathroom and some internal spaces are compact, which may limit adaptability. Crime statistics are above local average; prospective buyers should satisfy themselves about neighbourhood safety.
For families seeking village life with good primary schools nearby and straightforward commuter access, this home balances genuine period character with everyday practicality. The sympathetic extension and tidy presentation reduce immediate maintenance needs, while the listing and older fabric preserve long-term historic appeal.
