Moon Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched bungalow set within circa 1.8 acres, offering a rare combination of period character and substantial outdoor space. The single‑storey layout suits family life or downsizers who need ground‑level living, with three double bedrooms, an ensuite to the master and bright open‑plan kitchen/dining and lounge rooms. Rear elevations open to wide rural views across established farmland.
The current owners have renovated and maintained the interior to a high standard: modern bathrooms, quality fittings, double glazing and a pleasing neutral palette throughout. Practical benefits include a long driveway, double garage and useful outbuildings, plus fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — helpful for home working or running a small rural business.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: repairs, alterations and roofing work (thatched) will require listed‑building consent and specialist contractors, which can increase ongoing maintenance costs and limit structural changes. The cottage’s original granite walls are likely uninsulated, and heating is by oil boiler and radiators, so running costs may be higher than modern systems. Council tax is described as expensive.
Overall this is a characterful, well‑presented home for a buyer who values historic charm, generous grounds and single‑level living, and who understands the responsibilities and costs associated with a thatched listed property. Its village location keeps shops and amenities within a short drive, and the M5 is reachable in around 15 minutes for commuting or regional travel.
