This Grade II listed, part-thatched cottage combines strong period character with thoughtful single-storey additions to create a spacious family home in a quiet village setting. The thatch was recently renewed and exposed beams, stonework and fireplaces deliver the quintessential cottage feel, while large windows and high ceilings bring generous natural light to principal rooms.
Accommodation suits family life and flexible working. The ground floor provides two double bedrooms, a vaulted sitting room with open fireplace, a beamed kitchen and a bright dining room that leads to a cosy stone-walled study — ideal for a home office. Upstairs the generous master bedroom, full bathroom and a versatile attic room (occasional bedroom/hobby space) increase usable space without losing character.
Outside the property sits on a large plot with a wrap-around, secluded garden, a paved private courtyard and direct access to open countryside. A gravel driveway behind a five-bar gate provides off-street parking for several cars. There is no flood risk, broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent — practical benefits for modern family life.
Important practical points: the listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate extensions or certain repairs; specialist consent and potentially higher costs should be expected. Council tax is flagged as expensive. Overall, this is for buyers who prioritise character, countryside views and privacy, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities and limitations that come with owning a historic, listed cottage.
