Summary - OLD CHURCH COTTAGE CHAPEL LANE LONG MARSTON TRING HP23 4QT
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Historic charm with expansive private gardens and peaceful village outlook.
Grade II‑listed 17th‑century thatched cottage
Old Church Cottage is a rare Grade II‑listed thatched home dating from the 17th century, set at the end of a quiet lane in Long Marston. The house sits in an unusually large, naturalistic garden that borders a disused Norman churchyard, creating a private, wildlife-rich setting with views of the ancient tower.
Internally the cottage offers architecturally rich living: a vaulted drawing room with exposed timber, a cosy beamed sitting room with a woodburner, and a mezzanine above the kitchen that provides a charming study or reading perch. The ground floor plan is versatile with multiple reception rooms, practical utility and shower rooms, while three idiosyncratic bedrooms upstairs include a principal suite with dressing area and WC.
The sale is offered freehold and chain free, with private parking for two cars and a detached garage. This home will particularly suit buyers who value historic character, generous garden space and a peaceful village lifestyle close to good local schools.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing brings restrictions and potential extra cost for repairs or alterations. There is a medium flood risk for the area, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors should be considered alongside the property’s exceptional character and plot size.
