A Grade II listed, thatch-roofed cottage set in approximately 0.41 acres within Great Durnford’s desirable Woodford Valley. The house retains plentiful period character — exposed timbers, leaded windows, inglenook fireplaces and an oak porch — while offering generous, flexible accommodation across a long plan: four bedrooms, two bathrooms, sitting and dining rooms, study, conservatory and substantial outbuildings.
The gardens are a principal asset: paved terraces, large lawns, well-stocked flower beds, specimen trees, a thatched barn on staddlestones, workshop and double garage with parking. The plot’s size and layout create scope for family outdoor life, productive planting and hobby uses while remaining straightforward to manage.
Practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and means repairs (including thatch maintenance) must respect conservation requirements. Heating is oil-fired; broadband and mobile signals are average. The location is rural and somewhat isolated — attractive for privacy but less convenient for frequent commuting. There is a medium flood risk and council tax is above average, both factors to factor into ownership costs.
This home suits buyers seeking a character-rich, substantial village cottage with large gardens — ideal for families or purchasers who value historic fabric and are prepared for conservation-sensitive maintenance and the responsibilities of a listed thatch property.
