A rare Grade II listed 17th-century thatched cottage set within approximately 2.36 acres of formal gardens. The house retains strong period character — exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and ledge-and-brace doors — and offers generous, flexible accommodation across 2,734 sq ft including five bedrooms and five reception rooms.
Practical benefits include two en suites, a ground-floor bathroom and shower room, a kitchen/breakfast room, an oak-framed garden room and an attached study. The layout already allows part of the ground floor to function as an independent annexe, useful for extended family or rental income. Modern services include gas central heating, a solar hot water system, an EV charge point and a detached double garage with power and storage.
Important considerations: the listed status brings restrictions that will complicate alterations, repairs and modernisation. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is described as expensive. The local area records above-average crime and some nearby schools have mixed Ofsted outcomes, which may matter to families.
Overall, this is a distinctive countryside family home for buyers seeking period character, generous private grounds and annexe potential — suited to those comfortable managing listed-building obligations and investing in modern conveniences where needed.
