Set on an elevated plot at the edge of Hadstock, this Grade II Listed thatched cottage blends period charm with practical modern additions. Exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace with wood burner and a light-filled contemporary garden room give the principal living spaces real character, while a refitted kitchen and utility area provide everyday functionality. Solar panels, battery storage and an EV charging point reduce running costs and add resilience.
The property sits within very large, thoughtfully landscaped gardens, with a paved terrace, vegetable beds and mature planting creating private outdoor rooms and far-reaching countryside views. Parking is generous: cobbled drive, garage with eaves storage, and an open cart lodge linked to an insulated home office — useful for flexible working or hobby space. A detached ensuite garden studio provides independent guest accommodation or a self-contained workspace.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II Listed, so alterations will be restricted and likely require consent; the timber-frame walls are assumed to lack modern insulation; the EPC rating is D and council tax is described as expensive. Broadband and mobile signal are average, and internal rooms retain the lower ceilings and smaller proportions typical of historic cottages.
This will suit buyers seeking a characterful family home or countryside retreat who value historic detail and generous outdoor space, and who accept the maintenance, listing constraints, and retrofit work often needed in older timber-framed properties.
