Set on the edge of Cheriton Bishop, this Grade II thatched cottage blends early-18th-century charm with a light modern extension. The living spaces are generous for the style, with a bright open-plan kitchen/diner opening to a private, well-stocked garden and useful outbuildings. Three double bedrooms upstairs suit family life or flexible guest/study use.
Practical strengths include substantial off-street parking with space for a caravan or motorhome, a wood-burner plus oil-fired central heating, and an overall footprint far larger than typical cottages. The plot is private and versatile, with a sunken seating area and a covered historic well that adds character and potential utility for garden watering.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed and in a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and may increase maintenance costs and paperwork. Broadband speeds are slow and the heating runs from an external oil boiler—both factors to review if remote working or energy efficiency are priorities. There is a single bathroom for three double bedrooms.
This house will suit buyers who value period character, generous outside space and village life, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities that come with owning a thatched, listed cottage.
