Charming village home with characterful interiors and generous private gardens.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with extensive period features
An enchanting Grade II listed thatched cottage set on about 0.563 acres of carefully landscaped gardens, offering generous privacy and period charm. The house combines traditional features — exposed beams, brick fireplaces, sash windows and a vaulted conservatory — with practical rooms including two detached garages, driveway parking and useful pantry/storage spaces.
The cottage provides spacious principal accommodation on the ground floor with a vaulted principal bedroom suite and a light, vaulted garden room that overlooks the mature gardens. Upstairs are further bedrooms, a study and a family bathroom; total living area is approximately 2,018 sq ft. The layout and plot make this a lovely family home for those seeking village life and extensive outdoor space.
Material considerations are straightforward and important: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict changes and can complicate maintenance and approvals. Ceilings in parts of the cottage are low and some rooms are small to medium in size compared with modern homes. Thatched roofs, period fabric and exposed timbers require specialist upkeep, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and the village setting has very low crime and strong local schools.
