The Old House is a substantial Grade II listed thatched cottage set in about 0.62 acres of private gardens, quietly positioned in the heart of Haselbury Plucknett. The house combines restored period features — hamstone fireplaces, exposed beams, mullion windows and window seats — with comfortable modern conveniences, including an oil-fired boiler, integrated kitchen appliances and a full re-thatch completed in 2023. Accommodation is flexible, with two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room, study, utility, snug (usable as a fifth bedroom) and four main bedrooms, one en suite.
This is a family-ready rural home for buyers who value character and space. Principal rooms enjoy dual aspects overlooking the garden and church backdrop; extensive off-street parking and ancillary stores serve gardeners, hobbies or a small annexe use. The property is offered in excellent decorative order following recent works, with original stone walls, a cobbled service area, kitchen garden and mature specimen trees including oak and fig.
Important practical notes: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict certain works and may complicate alterations or extensions. Heating is oil-fired and broadband speeds are slow — relevant if remote working is essential. Council Tax is Band F (expensive). EPC is exempt due to the listing. Buyers should allow for ongoing maintenance typical of period properties, despite the recent re-thatch and renovations.
Overall, this is a rare, character-rich rural home that suits a family or buyer seeking a large, historic country cottage with private grounds. It offers immediate move-in condition with scope to personalise within the constraints of listed status.
