This Grade II listed thatched cottage combines strong period character with a large private plot of 0.27 acres and no forward chain. The house offers four bedrooms, three reception rooms including a sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, a sun conservatory and a spacious kitchen/dining room — useful for family living and entertaining.
Practical benefits include a double garage, driveway parking and gas heating, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal for remote working. The property sits in a quiet village location near local amenities and schools and is set within well-established gardens with a shaped lawn, fishpond and vegetable area.
Material considerations are clear: listed status may restrict alterations and will complicate maintenance of the thatched roof. The EPC is E and the council tax band is high; the heating system, mains and appliances have not been tested and should be inspected. Buyers should budget for routine thatch upkeep and expect listed-building consent for significant works.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful rural cottage with generous outdoor space and scope to update interiors. A full survey and specialist listed-building advice are recommended to understand long-term repair responsibilities and costs before committing.
