This Grade II listed thatched cottage combines period character with flexible modern living. Recently re-thatched (2024), the main house retains exposed beams, a fireplace with log burner and a vaulted dining area that overlooks mature, well-tended gardens. The layout includes four bedrooms across multiple levels and a family bathroom, with the principal bedroom enjoying an ensuite.
A detached one‑bedroom annex with its own entrance and courtyard garden offers excellent options for multigenerational use, guests or a potential income stream. Off‑street parking and generous front and rear gardens — including raised beds, a vegetable plot and greenhouse — add practicality and outdoor appeal on a large plot.
Buyers should note material considerations tied to the property’s listed status: alterations will require listed‑building consent and may complicate major updates. The home sits in a medium flood‑risk area and cavity walls are believed to have no insulation, which could affect running costs. Overall this is a characterful home suited to families or downsizers who value charm, garden space and flexible accommodation but are comfortable with the constraints of a listed dwelling.
