White Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage offering quintessential rural character in a secluded hamlet setting. Exposed beams, stone floors and two sealed period fireplaces give the house strong period appeal; the property will suit someone who values charm and authenticity over modern open-plan living.
The layout comprises two reception rooms, a small kitchen, ground-floor bathroom and a first-floor bedroom with a large landing that has previously been used for a single bed. Note the low ceilings in parts of the house (down to approximately 1.73m) and generally compact room sizes — this is a cozy one-bedroom home rather than a spacious family house. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and drainage is to a septic tank.
Outside there are enclosed front and rear gardens that are currently overgrown but private, plus a detached timber single garage and one off-road parking space a short walk away. Being Grade II listed will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or refurbishment, so buyers should factor in listed-building consent and specialist repairs. Overall, the cottage offers a charming countryside retreat or a character-led home for downsizers and rural-lifestyle buyers comfortable with modest accommodation and conservation responsibilities.
