Willow Cottage is an imposing 17th-century thatched home occupying a large plot in the heart of Alderton village. Arranged over multiple levels, the property extends to 2,647 sq ft and offers five bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms, with unusually high beamed ceilings and plentiful period character throughout. The thatch was fully replaced in 2022 and the south-facing principal rooms and garden give the house plentiful natural light.
The kitchen centres on an Aga with an island and adjoins a breakfast room and large utility; a triple-aspect dining room and separate sitting room suit family living and entertaining. Almost every room has a dual aspect and two staircases create flexible bedroom and bathroom arrangements suitable for multi-generational use or separate suites.
Practical features include gated off-street parking for two to three cars (tandem) and enclosed southerly gardens with several secluded seating areas. All mains services are connected and the property is offered chain free, making a prompt move possible.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate planning, listed consents and maintenance. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as quite expensive. The village has limited local schooling options and some nearby schools carry lower Ofsted ratings, so buyers should check school catchments. Overall, this is a substantial, character-rich cottage for buyers who value historic fabric and village life and who accept listed-property responsibilities.
