Characterful five-bedroom cottage with south garden and countryside views.
Grade II listed 17th-century cottage full of period features
A rare Grade II listed 17th-century cottage on Sutton High Street, this well-presented five-bedroom home blends authentic period character with practical family space. Exposed timbers, large inglenook fireplaces and leaded windows create atmospheric reception rooms; the cottage-style kitchen with Rayburn and adjoining summer room suit everyday family life.
The principal bedroom is generous and benefits from an en suite. With 2,352 sq ft of accommodation, three reception rooms, a cellar and useful outbuildings, the house adapts easily to home working, hobbies or flexible family use. The gated carriageway driveway provides off-street parking for several cars.
Outdoors, the private south-facing garden is a standout: well-kept lawns, pond and shrub borders lead to a woodland-style section and open countryside beyond — excellent for children and dog owners who want countryside views from the garden.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may add complexity and cost to maintenance or improvements. Heating is oil-fired, typically more expensive than mains gas alternatives. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, this is a character-rich family home in a highly sought-after village location, best suited to buyers who appreciate historic fabric and countryside living and who are prepared for listed-building responsibilities.
