This chocolate-box Grade II listed thatched cottage offers an attractive, low‑maintenance two-bedroom home for buyers looking to downsize into characterful village life. Set in Glatton’s conservation area, the property retains exposed beams, a Victoriana-style ground floor bathroom, a refitted kitchen and a cosy living room with a feature fireplace — all packaged in about 1,045 sq ft of accommodation.
The cottage sits close to the road with a neat cottage-style front garden, a modest rear garden, off-road parking and a garage. The village has a strong community feel with a pub, parish church and good local connections: both Peterborough and Huntingdon are within about 10 miles, and the A1/A14 links provide straightforward road access. Broadband and mobile signal are reported fast and excellent respectively.
Important practical points: the property’s Grade II listing protects its character but will restrict alterations and can increase maintenance responsibilities and costs; the traditional thatched roof particularly requires specialist upkeep and appropriate insurance. The home forms one of three original dwellings and appears to have compact outdoor space, so buyers wanting large gardens or major remodelling should consider limitations.
This home will appeal to buyers seeking heritage character, village tranquillity and convenient transport links rather than a turnkey modern conversion. Prospective purchasers are advised to commission their own surveys and specialist reports (including thatch and services) to confirm condition and running costs before committing.
