Quiet rural retreat with farmland views and no onward chain.
Grade II listed thatched cottage; re-thatched in 2021
A delightful Grade II listed thatched cottage set in a peaceful rural hamlet, offered with no onward chain. Originating in the 16th century, the house blends period character—exposed beams, bread oven and a log burner—with practical updates such as a full re-thatch in 2021, some replacement windows and a new private treatment plant (2022).
The house provides three bedrooms, a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room and a ground-floor shower room. Gardens to the front and rear back onto farmland, offering open countryside views and a gated driveway with private parking. At around 860 sq ft, the layout suits a small family or buyers seeking a country retreat with manageable outside space.
Buyers should note the property needs some updating throughout and is Grade II listed, which will restrict permitted alterations and could complicate major works. Heating is oil-fired to radiators and water/drainage are private — important ongoing costs to consider. Broadband is currently very slow, and the cottage’s historic construction (cob walls, low ceilings) means modernisation must respect listed constraints.
Overall this is a character-rich rural home with scope to personalise, ideal for those who value heritage, countryside, and a home-ready upgrade project rather than a turnkey move.
