Laburnum Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched home dating from 1677, set on a generous plot of around one acre in a peaceful village location. The detached cottage offers four bedrooms, flexible reception space and off-street parking with a car barn and several outbuildings. Offered chain-free, it will suit families or buyers seeking a characterful country home with scope to adapt.
The house retains many period features and cosy room proportions — low to medium ceilings and small-to-medium room sizes are part of its charm, but will limit some modern layouts. Accommodation includes a kitchen/breakfast room, multiple reception rooms and two bathrooms (one described as a four-piece suite). Total internal area is about 1,758 sq ft.
Outside, the grounds are the property’s major asset: mature cottage gardens, expansive greenery and a sweeping driveway. Outbuildings and the car barn present conversion or development opportunities, though any alterations will require listed-building consent and planning permission. The listing status is material and likely to complicate works and maintenance.
Practical points: broadband speeds are average while mobile signal is excellent, there is no flooding risk, and the A34/M4 are within easy reach for commuters. Council tax is noted as expensive. Buyers should factor in ongoing maintenance for an older thatched, listed building and confirm details of any restrictive covenants or conservation requirements before committing.
