Set behind electric gates on about 1.4 acres, this Grade II‑listed 16th‑century cottage combines authentic period features with extensive modern living spaces. The heart of the home is a bespoke kitchen with Aga and granite island, flowing into a spectacular 37 ft vaulted lounge with oak flooring and a large log burner — ideal for family gatherings and entertaining. Five well‑proportioned double bedrooms sit across the original cottage, served by a four‑piece family bathroom and a fitted shower room.
The grounds are a major asset: immaculately maintained lawns, specimen trees, a heated pool with sun terrace and breeze house, plus a fully fitted summerhouse suitable for a home office or bar. A substantial c.60 ft barn/workshop offers significant conversion potential (subject to planning), providing options for annex space, gym, or storage. Recent thatch work carries a Master Thatcher certificate indicating no further work for 20 years.
Practical considerations are set out plainly. The Grade II listing and thatched construction mean alterations will be restricted and may be costly; any conversion of the barn requires planning permission. The property sits in a medium flood‑risk area, broadband speeds are slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. For a family seeking a distinctive country home with generous grounds and flexible outbuildings, this is a rare opportunity to own a characterful, versatile estate.
