This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends historic character with a generous garden and elevated countryside views. The house offers traditional features throughout — exposed timbers, a brick fireplace with a log burner and timber lintel — and practical comforts such as underfloor heating across the ground floor. The layout includes two double bedrooms upstairs, a living room, separate dining room, kitchen and family bathroom across approximately 900 sqft.
The property is offered freehold and sits on a medium-to-large plot with established lawns, mature shrubs and a paved patio. Mains water supplies the house and drainage is private. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting modern connectivity despite the rural setting. Local schools and village amenities are within reach, with nearby farmland and small-town fringe character.
Important practical points: the cottage requires modernisation and renovation to bring services and finishes up to current standards. Its Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and likely complicate works. Off-street parking has historically been shared by agreement with a neighbour but there is no legal right to park shown on the deeds. Council tax is above average.
This home will suit a buyer seeking character and a garden in a peaceful, semi-rural location who is prepared to manage a sensitive renovation within the constraints of listed-building regulations. For someone wanting original features and countryside outlooks rather than a turnkey finish, it presents clear potential.
