Grade II listed thatched cottage with pronounced character features
A quintessential two-bedroom Grade II listed thatched cottage in Buntham, Burton, offering an abundance of original character and a mature, private garden. Ground floor living is centred on a large kitchen/sitting room with exposed beams, hamstone features and an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner — a comfortable, characterful space for country living. The thatch was fully renewed in 2019 and is estimated to have a 25-year life remaining.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms beneath original roof timbers and a shower room. Rooms are cosy with low ceilings and exposed beams that create charm but limit head height and storage. The property has night-storage heating and slow broadband in practice; walls are likely uninsulated sandstone/hamstone which will affect running costs and thermal performance. There is an outside WC and pedestrian access across adjoining properties to note.
This is an appealing home for someone seeking a traditional village cottage or a downsizer who values character and garden space over modern open-plan living. Buy with the Grade II listing in mind — repairs, alterations and insulation upgrades are restricted and may require listed-building consent. On-street parking only, though rear access could permit a parking area with planning permission.
