A charming three-bedroom thatched cottage set in a peaceful West Putford hamlet, offered with no onward chain. The house retains a wealth of period character — inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and original stone/cob walls — across a generous 1,379 sq ft layout that will appeal to buyers seeking rural character and space.
The plot includes a delightful cottage garden with mature planting and a patio, plus a gated driveway with off-street parking for two cars. Practical features include oil‑fired central heating, a useful stone outbuilding for storage and private drainage via a septic tank.
Buyers should note several practical constraints: the property currently has an EPC rating of F, very slow broadband and no mobile signal, and the granite/cob walls are assumed to have no insulation. Thatched roofs require ongoing specialist maintenance and higher insurance costs. There may also be planning or conservation considerations due to the age and construction of the cottage.
This home suits purchasers prioritising history and rural peace — families, downsizers or buyers seeking a character holiday/let — who are prepared for incremental upgrading (insulation, energy efficiency and services) while preserving the cottage’s authentic features.
