A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Maxey, this home dates from the 1700s and retains abundant period character. Exposed beams, a stone wall and an inglenook fireplace create warm, atmospheric reception spaces, while a rear sunroom brings daylight into the ground floor living areas. The principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite and dressing room, and there are three further bedrooms providing flexible family accommodation.
Outside, very large, well-maintained gardens and mature planting give plenty of private outdoor space for children, pets and entertaining. A detached cabin with its own electrical supply, cloakroom and kitchenette offers versatile extra accommodation — ideal as a home office, studio or small annexe. A double-width garage and utility area add practical storage and parking.
Buyers should be comfortable owning a listed property: the Grade II status protects original features but will complicate alterations and may increase maintenance and repair costs. The cottage’s historic construction (thatched roof, low ceilings and timber elements) means ongoing upkeep is required to preserve the fabric. EPC not required; council tax Band D applies.
This house will suit a family or downsizer seeking character, ample gardens and flexible outbuildings in an affluent village setting. It offers the feel of rural living with reasonable access to local schools and village amenities, balanced by the responsibilities of owning a highly protected, historic home.
