This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends preserved period character with recent modernisation, offering a comfortable rural home close to coast and village amenities. The recently refitted kitchen and bathroom mean much of the core living space is move-in ready while retaining exposed beams, a brick fireplace and original wood panelling that define its charm.
Set down a private drive between traditional outbuildings, the property sits in landscaped, well‑screened gardens providing strong privacy and far‑reaching countryside views. The large barn/outbuilding offers practical storage, hobby or small‑holding uses now, and conversion potential subject to planning and listed‑building constraints (STPP).
Practical considerations are clear: the house has just one bathroom, broadband speeds are slow, and its listed status will affect alterations and maintenance. Council tax is above average for the area. For buyers seeking a peaceful country lifestyle—couples, downsizers or those wanting a rural bolt‑hole—this cottage presents a rare combination of character, updated services and flexible ancillary space.
