This Grade II thatched cottage sits on a large, established plot at the end of a quiet lane in a highly desirable village, offering traditional charm with practical living spaces. Period features — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplace, window seats and stone walls — combine with sympathetic modernisation such as a well‑equipped kitchen with Miele appliances and a tiled shower room. The layout is comfortable for family life, with a light galleried landing and three bedrooms arranged over two floors.
Outdoor space is a genuine asset: a southwest-facing tiered garden with terraces, summerhouse, greenhouse and far-reaching views to open farmland. Off-street parking is provided by an oak-framed two-bay carport. The village location provides easy access to riverside walks and countryside while nearby towns (Oundle, Thrapston) supply shops and rail links.
Buyers should note this property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate works or replacement of historic features. Heating is oil-fired to radiators and drainage is to a private septic tank, both of which carry ongoing maintenance costs. Council Tax is Band E and broadband availability has been variable — confirm current speeds if remote working is essential.
A viewing is recommended to appreciate the cottage’s character, garden levels and village setting. This home will suit buyers seeking a period country cottage with attractive outdoor space who are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and rural servicing arrangements.
