Grade II listed thatched cottage — restrictions on alterations and specialist maintenance required
Set on the village green in sought-after Great Milton, Weavers Cottage blends substantial family living space with classic cottage character. The Grade II listed, thatched home has been extended and newly renovated to provide over 2,100 sq ft arranged across multiple levels, including four bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms. Exposed beams, leaded windows and a wood burner preserve the historic feel while updates deliver everyday comfort.
Families will appreciate the sizeable rear garden and detached garage, plus excellent local schools and village amenities on the doorstep. Commuter links to Oxford, the M40 and nearby towns are straightforward, making this a practical country base for working parents who want village life without sacrificing access to city facilities.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate works. The thatched roof and some low-ceiling rooms require ongoing specialist maintenance and care. Council tax is flagged as expensive, which should be factored into running costs despite the home’s renovated condition.
Overall, this is a substantial, characterful family cottage offering immediate move-in quality and long-term charm, best suited to purchasers who value period features and village living and who are comfortable with listed-property responsibilities.
