Large mature gardens, paddock and secluded paved dining terrace
Substantial 25ft timber studio with adjoining bathroom

A rare Grade II listed thatched cottage set in large, well-established gardens with a substantial separate studio. The house retains abundant period character — exposed beams, original hearths and cozy reception rooms — and benefits from a 25ft timber studio with an adjoining bathroom, ideal for a home office, hobby room or ancillary accommodation.
Practical positives include off-street parking for several cars, a small paddock, and solar panels that offset household energy use. The location suits country living while remaining conveniently close to Great Bedwyn station and well-regarded primary schools, making daily commutes and family life straightforward.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property has Grade II listed status which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. The EPC is rated E, heating is electric (night storage heaters and electric boiler), walls are likely solid brick with no cavity insulation, and broadband speeds are very slow. Drainage and water are private. Council tax is described as expensive.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking character, space and a peaceful rural setting who are comfortable managing the responsibilities of an older listed building. It offers immediate enjoyment with clear potential for sympathetic upgrading, particularly to improve energy efficiency and connectivity where permitted.
