Spacious Grade II listed family house blending period character and modern extension.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with 2,280 sq ft living space
Chapel House is a rare Grade II listed thatched cottage that has been thoughtfully extended and refurbished to create a spacious, characterful family home in the heart of Redgrave. The two‑storey rear addition adds light and modern living space while preserving original features such as exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and leaded casement windows. The result is about 2,280 sq ft of versatile accommodation arranged over multiple levels.
The extended wing delivers a large kitchen/family room with high‑quality fitted units, integrated Neff appliances, a walk‑in pantry, utility and wet‑system underfloor heating linked to the oil boiler. Bi‑fold and French doors open to a substantial porcelain terrace and large, enclosed gardens — excellent for entertaining and family life. Off‑road parking for several cars and a single garage add practical convenience.
Buyers should note the material considerations that accompany a property of this type. Listed status means repairs, alterations and thatch maintenance are subject to consent and specialist costs. Parts of the original cottage retain low head heights, single‑glazed leaded windows and traditional features not suited to full modernisation. Heating is oil‑fired (not a community system) and broadband/mobile coverage is limited in this rural location.
For families seeking a village home that balances historic character with contemporary living, Chapel House offers immediate comfort and long‑term potential. It will particularly suit those happy to care for a listed thatch property and who value generous indoor/outdoor space in a peaceful, low‑crime village setting.
