This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends authentic 17th-century character with recent sympathetic renovation. Exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and cottage latch doors create a warm, historic interior, while a full recent re-thatch and refreshed finishes mean the property is largely move-in ready. The large east-facing rear garden and detached timber cabin add practical outdoor space and a useful home-office option.
Practical living is compact and characterful: three bedrooms and a first-floor shower room suit a small family or those seeking a village pied-à-terre. The open-plan sitting room and kitchen provide a central living hub, and the cabin offers flexible workspace. Driveway parking for one car plus unrestricted on-street parking directly in front eases day-to-day access.
Buyers should note material constraints: the house’s listed status will affect permitted alterations and may complicate works. Rooms are traditionally proportioned rather than spacious, and the heating specification includes LPG supply and electric panel heaters in places. Planning would be required to extend driveway parking. Overall, this is a charming, character-filled village home for buyers prioritising period appeal and outdoor space over large contemporary layouts.
