Thatchcroft is a beautifully presented Grade II listed hamstone cottage, recently refurbished and with its thatch renewed in 2017. The house offers authentic character — exposed beams, inglenook and hamstone fireplaces, window seats and oak floorboards — across three reception rooms and three double bedrooms, making it well suited to family life or those wanting a roomy countryside retreat.
Externally the plot is generous for the area, with enclosed rear gardens, productive fruit bushes, a summerhouse, log store and off-street parking for at least two vehicles. The village location places everyday amenities and outstanding primary schools within easy reach and Yeovil is about nine miles away for wider services and rail links.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and may complicate future works or upgrades. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators (oil tank concealed on site) and the EPC is Band D. The stone walls are historic and likely uninsulated, and low ceiling heights in parts reflect the cottage’s age — these are part of the character but affect modernisation and energy performance.
For buyers seeking a move-in-ready, characterful countryside home this cottage delivers charm and space. Those planning substantial remodelling, insulation upgrades or a switch from oil heating should factor in listed-building constraints and likely additional costs.
