Set within almost an acre of private, landscaped gardens, this stone-under-thatch detached cottage offers roomy, characterful family living with modern conveniences. The main house provides three reception rooms, a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, home office and four double bedrooms across approximately 3,694 sq ft of accommodation. A converted outbuilding forms a self-contained one-bedroom annexe with underfloor heating and the potential for steady rental income or multi-generational use.
Practical benefits include a newly re-thatched roof (2024), solar panels with a feed-in tariff in place until 2035, double garage parking and excellent digital connectivity (hyperfast 900 Mbps available). The annexe’s gas boiler can also heat the swimming pool, simplifying servicing and energy use. Nearby village amenities and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools make the property well suited to families seeking a rural lifestyle.
Buyers should note the property is Grade II listed; this protects historic features but will impose restrictions and potential extra costs for alterations, maintenance and consented works. Council tax is described as quite expensive and thatch maintenance and periodic specialist repairs should be allowed for in running costs. Overall, the house blends period character and modern systems, offering strong scope for long-term enjoyment or income generation with responsible upkeep.
