Charming 18th‑century detached cottage—ideal for investors or character‑home seekers.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with historic character
This Grade II listed thatched cottage in Haddenham blends historic charm with short‑letting and rental appeal. The cosy reception room features exposed beams, a stone fireplace and a wood‑burning stove, creating a characterful living space attractive to holiday guests or long‑term tenants. The bespoke handmade kitchen is a genuine selling point for a property of this size.
At roughly 477 sq ft the house comprises one double bedroom, a small single/study room and a bathroom, making it best suited to a single occupant, couple or investor targeting holiday lets and rental demand in an affluent village. The property is freehold, out of flood risk and in a very affluent, low‑deprivation area with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—practical positives for lettings.
Buyers should note material constraints: Grade II listing and thatched construction (cob walls) mean repairs, upgrades and some modernisation will be subject to listed‑building consent and specialist maintenance. The low ceilings and compact rooms limit layout changes and may restrict appeal to some buyers. The property will be sold at auction via Secure Sale online bidding; auction and sale terms apply.
For an investor this cottage offers immediate character‑led income potential and short‑term capital upside through sympathetic refurbishment. For an owner‑occupier seeking a quaint, historic village home, be prepared for ongoing thatch and listed‑building upkeep alongside the benefits of a charming, centrally located property.
