This Grade II listed thatched cottage offers classic period character with manageable, well-proportioned accommodation ideal for downsizers seeking village life. The recent re-ridging of the thatch is a major maintenance positive, while exposed timbers and a feature fireplace give the interior authentic charm.
The house has two double bedrooms, a separate study area and two reception rooms arranged over multiple levels. A secluded rear garden backs onto farmland, and the plot includes driveway parking plus a single garage with useful boarded storage above. Broadband speeds are reported fast and the property sits in a desirable rural village with a well-regarded primary school.
Buyers should note the listed status: external and internal alterations will be restricted and any works may require listed-building consent. There are practical constraints too — modest room sizes, low ceilings in parts of the house and a small overall plot — so this is best suited to someone who values character and can accept conservation-related limits.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful cottage with immediate kerb appeal and long-term charm. It will suit buyers who prioritise village living, original features and farmland views, and who are prepared for the responsibilities and constraints of owning a listed thatched property.
