Set on a generous plot in the tranquil village of Appleton Thorn, this unique four-bedroom thatched detached home combines period charm with practical family living. The property offers versatile reception rooms, two en-suite bedrooms and a modern family bathroom, arranged across a comfortable multi-storey layout. Double glazing (installed post-2002) and mains gas central heating provide contemporary comforts alongside traditional features.
Externally the house makes an immediate impression with a picturesque thatched roof, established hedging and a large block-paved driveway leading to a detached double garage. The sizable garden and countryside setting suit families who value outdoor space and privacy; nearby outstanding primary schools and good secondary options add to the location’s appeal.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property is a pre-1900 solid brick build with assumed no wall insulation, and thatched roofs require regular specialist maintenance and insurance. Some internal areas show dated finishes (hallway panelling and tiled floor) and may benefit from updating. Council tax is described as quite expensive, which will affect ongoing running costs.
Overall this chain-free house will suit families seeking character and space with scope to personalise. The home is practical for everyday life yet offers scope for energy improvements and cosmetic modernisation to increase comfort and long-term value.
