Bay Cottage is a quintessential thatched, stone cottage in the heart of Polebrook, offering characterful living across two bedrooms and generous living space (approx. 970 sqft). The house has been lovingly maintained with exposed stone walls, timbers, a bay window and a large vaulted-ceiling kitchen fitted with quartz surfaces — a strong blend of period charm and usable modern improvements.
The rear garden and courtyard are well designed for low-maintenance outdoor living with distinct seating and planting areas. Broadband is ultrafast and the village location benefits from low crime, good local schools and regular community events in nearby Oundle. Council tax sits at an affordable band C and there is mains water, electricity, oil heating and drainage connected.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate some updating or extensions. The cottage’s period construction means rooms are modest in proportion, and any major modernisation will need to respect listed-building consents. EPC is exempt due to the listed status.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful village residence or a second/retirement home who value heritage features, a peaceful rural setting and easy access to Oundle’s amenities. Budget for sympathetic maintenance and listed-consent processes when planning changes.
