Spacious five-bedroom Grade II listed cottage with large southerly gardens and off-street parking.
Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage with abundant period features
This Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage sits on a very large southerly-facing plot in peaceful Thurlby, offering five bedrooms and abundant character. Four reception rooms, a 22' kitchen/dining room and a garden room provide flexible family living, while exposed beams, stone walls, inglenook fireplaces and high vaulted bedroom ceilings give the home strong period appeal.
Recent re-thatching and well-tended landscaped gardens deliver immediate curb appeal; large patio and courtyard create outdoor entertaining space. Off-street parking for many vehicles and two staircases add practicality for multi-generational households or home working. Local broadband and mobile signal are strong and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are nearby.
The property’s listed status is material: any alterations will require listed-building consent and may limit modernization options. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the age and thatch roof mean ongoing specialist maintenance will be needed in future. Buyers seeking a low-maintenance contemporary home should note these constraints.
For families or buyers seeking a distinctive period residence with extensive outdoor space and strong local amenities, this cottage presents rare character and scope for sympathetic updating. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, layout and countryside setting.
