A Grade II listed three-bedroom thatched cottage set in the heart of Piddletrenthide, offering traditional character and a peaceful village lifestyle. The house retains period features including open fireplaces and wood-panel details, with two reception rooms arranged over multiple levels. The kitchen-breakfast room with an electric Aga and a useful utility room sit alongside a modern ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor WC, supporting practical family living.
The property sits on a small enclosed rear garden with off-street parking, useful in this rural hamlet location close to a well-regarded primary school and local amenities such as a pub, village shop and riverside walks. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent; council tax is described as affordable.
Buyers should note the home’s listed status and thatching: both bring charm but will restrict alterations and increase maintenance responsibilities and costs. There is mixed information on heating — the house has oil-fired boiler and radiators, plus modern electric radiators mentioned — and the walls were built as cavity construction with assumed no added insulation, so energy efficiency and running costs may be higher than modern standards. Flooding risk is assessed as medium for the area.
This cottage will suit buyers who value character and village life and who are comfortable with listed-building constraints and ongoing maintenance. It offers a ready-to-enjoy period home with potential to improve energy performance within the limits of its protected status.
