2 Fullabrook Cottage is a beautifully presented 16th‑century Grade II listed farmhouse, offering three bedrooms, two bathrooms and traditional character throughout. The house combines original features — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and stonework — with practical modern upgrades including a new boiler, cast‑iron radiators and phone‑controlled heating zones for everyday comfort.
Set in a secluded rural hamlet, the property sits on approximately ¾ acre of grounds with front and rear gardens, an orchard and a stream. Two concrete hardstandings (7m x 5m and 7m x 4m) are supplied with water and electric, providing solid bases for outbuildings, parking or potential holiday‑let infrastructure subject to planning permission.
This home will suit buyers looking for countryside living with ready‑made comfort — families wanting space, smallholders or buyers keen on a character home in a peaceful setting. Be aware this house is Grade II listed: that status preserves historic features but will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and consent for significant changes.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average, which may frustrate remote working. The property has already had energy‑efficiency improvements (secondary glazing, new boiler) but ongoing maintenance typical of older listed buildings should be expected. Overall, it offers rare outdoor space and character balanced with modern conveniences.
