Set in the quiet village of Holford, this Grade II thatched house offers generous living space across multiple reception rooms and five good-sized bedrooms. The property combines traditional features — inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, oak garden room — with practical rooms including a well-equipped kitchen, utility and pantry. A detached guest lodge provides flexible accommodation for visitors or rental income.
The professionally designed gardens extend to about 0.75 acre and are low-maintenance in design: a large enclosed terrace, paved and lawned levels, a pergola, kitchen garden and an enclosed Japanese area. Gravel drive, off-street parking and a separate workshop/potting shed add convenience for everyday life and hobbies. The home is well suited to families wanting space and character in a peaceful rural setting.
There are important practical considerations. The property’s listed status (Grade II) means alterations will be restricted and may complicate modernisation. The thatched roof and mature garden will require ongoing specialist maintenance. Council Tax Band G and the property’s remoter hamlet location mean running costs and access to services may be higher or less convenient than in urban areas. Mobile signal and broadband are only average.
For buyers comfortable with historic properties, this house offers rare character, a guest lodge and extensive private grounds. Those seeking a fully modern, low-maintenance home or needing fast broadband and strong mobile reception should factor in potential limitations and costs before viewing.
