Summary - 500 Years of Character — Yours to Call Home, c. 165 SQM, Middlezoy TA7 0NJ
2 bed 2 bath Cottage
Large, character-filled thatched cottage with barns, garden and no onward chain..
Circa 165 sq m — larger than many four-bedroom homes
Two generous double bedrooms, originally three-room layout
Thatched roof recently redone and in good condition
Updated electrics with current certificate; Level 3 survey commissioned
Two 7x4m barns each with a stable; large double garage
Listed status (Grade 11) — consent restrictions likely for alterations
Traditional cob/granite walls with no known insulation (assumed)
Main heating oil boiler; slow broadband and average mobile signal
This thatched cottage, believed to date from the 15th century, offers an unusually large living footprint of circa 165 sq m while retaining abundant period character. Exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces with a bread oven, plank doors and a Cruck-framed cob construction create a genuinely historic home with modern comforts in place.
Practical upgrades include recently renewed thatch and updated electrics with a current certificate; a Level 3 survey has been commissioned and will be available to interested buyers. The mature, colourful garden, two substantial 7x4m barns (each with a stable) and a large double garage add versatile outdoor and storage space—useful for hobbyists, car storage or small-scale equestrian needs.
Important constraints are clear and factual: the property has listed status (listed as Grade 11 in the details) so alterations will be subject to consent and may be restricted. The walls are traditional cob/granite with no known insulation, and the main heating is an oil-fired boiler—buyers should factor running costs and potential improvement works into plans. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average in this remoter village setting.
This home will suit buyers seeking a distinctive, character-filled property with generous space but who accept the responsibilities of owning a historic building. No onward chain simplifies timing, and the large footprint gives scope to reconfigure internally (subject to listed-building and planning consents).
