A rare thatched cottage dating from the 1600s, this detached house combines historic character with flexible modern living. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and original features give warmth and charm across generous reception rooms and five bedrooms, including a principal suite with en‑suite facilities.
The large, mature gardens and private plot create a tranquil countryside feel and offer scope for landscaping or extension (subject to planning). A substantial detached barn includes a self‑contained studio with shower room — ideal for guests, home working or ancillary rental income.
Practical benefits include gated driveway parking for three cars and mains gas boiler with radiators. The property sits in a very affluent, low‑crime village with good local schools and community life.
Buyers should note the house is of solid brick construction (pre‑1900) so traditional walls are likely uninsulated and the home will benefit from sympathetic updating in places. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is quite expensive. Overall this is a characterful family home with considerable potential for improvement and ancillary income from the studio.
