Charming Grade II thatched cottage on Great Doddington High Street with private garden.
Grade II listed thatched stone cottage with abundant period character
This Grade II listed thatched stone cottage on High Street, Great Doddington delivers authentic period charm across three compact floors. Original features — exposed beams, flagstone floors, a feature fireplace and a claw‑foot bath — create a warm, characterful home suitable for someone seeking atmosphere over open‑plan space.
Practical comforts include gas central heating, double glazing (install date unknown) and a private courtyard garden with shed and summerhouse. The house includes a quirky ‘secret’ room accessed via a bookcase door and benefits from low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — convenient for modern living in a village setting.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can increase maintenance costs. Accommodation is modest (c. 732 sq ft) with low ceilings in parts, restricted headroom on the top floor and relatively small garden/parking provision. The building’s stone walls are likely uninsulated, so owners should factor in potential conservation‑compliant improvements.
Overall, this cottage suits a purchaser looking to downsize into a highly picturesque village home, a buyer seeking a character holiday or second home, or someone willing to invest in sensitive maintenance and listed‑building compliance to preserve its historic appeal.
