Lane Head is a rare Grade II listed thatched cottage dating to c.1590, set in a sought-after Sibford Gower village location. The main house combines strong period character—exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and flagstone floors—with generous, well-arranged living space and light-filled bedrooms. A separate two-bedroom annexe (nearing completion) and a first-floor studio above the carport extend versatility for guests, home working or multi-generational living.
Outside, the large, private garden is a standout feature with mature planting, a patio terrace and a heated outdoor swimming pool (heated via air source heat pump). Generous off-street parking and a two-bay carport provide practical vehicle space. Modern comforts include underfloor heating in the annexe ground floor and double glazing (installation date unknown).
Important points to note: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs and insurance. The house has solid-brick construction with no known insulation and an EPC rating of D; heating arrangements are mixed in the data provided (electric storage heaters listed, though oil-fired central heating is also noted), so verify services and running costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive and regular thatch maintenance should be expected.
This home will suit buyers seeking a character-filled, flexible family house in a peaceful, affluent village setting, and those prepared to manage the responsibilities that accompany historic, listed properties.
