2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Large garden and outbuildings ideal for a sensitive restoration project in Thornham Magna.
Grade II Listed thatched cottage with original beams and fireplace
A rare chance to restore a Grade II Listed thatched cottage in peaceful Thornham Magna. The two-bedroom semi-detached house (approx. 1,040 sq ft) retains original features such as exposed beams, a rustic brick fireplace and the iconic thatch, offering genuine period character and scope to create a distinctive country home.
The property requires full renovation and is marketed as a project: internal layout, utilities and finishes need upgrading to modern standards. There are several outbuildings and a very large separate plot (approx. 73 ft by 130 ft) that provide useful storage, workshop potential, gardening space or scope for other uses subject to planning and listed-building constraints. Off-street parking is included — a strong practical benefit in a village setting.
Buyers should note the property’s Listed status will complicate works and may restrict changes; specialist consent and higher restoration costs are likely. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent; flood risk is low and local crime is very low. The cottage sits in an affluent, rural neighbourhood close to well-rated primary and secondary schools, countryside walks and village amenities.
This is best suited to someone seeking a characterful restoration project — a downsizer, period-house enthusiast or buyer wanting to create a bespoke country retreat. The combination of historic features, generous plot and quiet hamlet location gives clear potential, provided you are prepared for the time, planning and expense of sympathetic renovation.
