A substantial detached thatched house dating from the 15th century, set in a very large, enclosed cottage-style garden with rural views to the escarpment. The Lias stone walls, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces give immediate historic character while the re-thatched roof (2021) reduces immediate major roofing work.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple levels and includes an impressive sitting room with inglenook, separate dining room, study, conservatory, refitted kitchen, ground-floor cloakroom and four bedrooms with family bathroom. Practical outbuildings include a substantial double garage/workshop, further garage, summerhouse and polytunnel—useful for storage, hobbies or home-based projects.
This home suits a family seeking character and outdoor space in a peaceful hamlet; local primary schooling and village amenities are nearby. Important practical points: broadband speeds are very slow and the property is remote, so home working or heavy streaming will be limited without investment in connectivity. Council tax is expensive and thatched properties carry ongoing maintenance obligations, though the roof was renewed recently in 2021.
Overall this is a rare, character-rich rural home offering substantial internal space (about 2,655 sq ft) and a large plot for gardening or small-scale agricultural use, best suited to buyers who value period features and countryside living and who accept the responsibilities of owning an older, thatched property.
