This charming thatched cottage in Enderby combines period character with practical modern comforts. Newly re-thatched and set behind a low stone wall, the property offers exposed beams, a gas fireplace and secondary glazing that help retain its original feel while improving energy efficiency. The layout includes a ground-floor lounge, fitted kitchen and a basement dining room, plus two double bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor.
Externally the plot is a notable asset: a mature, stone‑walled garden, gravelled driveway, and a substantial garage provide privacy, parking and storage rarely found with cottages of this age. There is planning permission to add a one‑bedroom detached cottage in the garden, presenting clear income or extended-family opportunity subject to approvals and costs.
Practical points are stated plainly. The property is likely of pre‑1900 stone construction with assumed limited wall insulation, so further thermal improvement may be needed. There is a legal easement and shared driveway access recorded on the title; prospective buyers should check the exact terms. The dining room sits at basement level which may feel compact for some buyers.
Comfortable village living, good local schools and fast broadband make this a sensible choice for downsizers or buyers seeking a character home with development potential. Immediate benefits include mains gas central heating, affordable council tax banding and excellent mobile signal; costs for any further renovation or insulation should be factored into purchase budgets.
