This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends 17th‑century character with generous modern living space, set in a large private plot on the edge of Delvin End. Exposed beams, a spacious sitting/dining room and a fitted kitchen/breakfast area create a welcoming family layout with thoughtful period detail. The property’s large footprint (circa 1,943 sq ft) and nine-room layout suit families wanting separate living zones and guest space.
Outside, mature, landscaped gardens, a patio, raised deck and a long gravel driveway with detached garage deliver privacy and versatile outdoor living. Wide, open views over surrounding farmland give a peaceful rural aspect; fast broadband keeps the home practical for remote working. Nearby villages and towns provide schools, shops and transport links while maintaining a tranquil countryside setting.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: Grade II listing means repairs, windows, roofing or alterations will require consent and specialist, often-costly work. Thatched roofs require ongoing maintenance and insurance considerations. Council tax is described as expensive; the hamlet location is pleasant but fairly secluded, and mobile signal is only average. These are important practical factors for budgeting and future alterations.
For families seeking character, privacy and space rather than a low‑maintenance modern shell, this cottage offers an exceptional rural home with scope to personalise within the limits of its listed status. Its combination of period charm, generous gardens and useful outbuildings will appeal to buyers looking for long-term family living or a distinctive countryside base.
