The Thatched Cottage is an early 19th-century, Grade II detached cottage set on about 0.60 acres in the village of Lutton. Its tidy thatch, brick construction and south-facing garden create immediate kerb appeal and a strong sense of period character. The plot includes a formal lawn, paddock, gravel drive and timber double garage — rare outdoors space so close to the village.
The house provides three double bedrooms and a single bathroom across a traditional multi‑story layout with small to medium rooms and modest ceiling heights. The interior has been rented and would benefit from updating; the property is offered chain-free and vacant, giving scope for a buyer to move promptly. Listed Building Consent has been granted for internal alterations (bathroom to first floor and a new utility/WC on the ground floor), which helps with planned improvement work.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II Listed building, which will affect the approach and cost of renovation and may limit some alterations. The cottage uses oil-fired heating, has one bathroom and needs upgrading throughout; specialist repair work to thatch and conservation‑grade materials are likely. Services include mains water, drainage and electricity, plus fibre broadband.
This home will suit someone seeking a character property with substantial outside space and scope to improve — ideal for those wanting a quiet village lifestyle or to downsize into a historic cottage while keeping room for gardening, livestock or hobbies. It is not a turnkey modern home; expect conservation constraints, renovation costs and ongoing thatch maintenance.
