Set along a quiet country lane, this Grade II listed thatched farmhouse offers generous, character-filled living across multiple reception rooms and four bedrooms. High vaulted ceilings, exposed beams and a spacious kitchen-dining room give the house a warm, lived-in feel while retaining original period charm. Its large southerly-facing rear garden, garage and very large plot create strong outdoor and parking space for family living.
The layout includes a ground-floor bedroom and two bathrooms, offering flexible use as a main family house or with annexe potential. There is possible scope to divide the property into two dwellings subject to planning and listed-building permissions — an opportunity for multi-generation occupation or reconfiguration for rental income, but only if statutory consents are obtained.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and likely increase repair costs and lead times for consented work. The thatched roof and cob walls imply specialist maintenance, and this location has a medium flooding risk. Council tax is described as expensive. On the positive side the property is chain free, within walking distance of village amenities and countryside walks, with a mainline rail link to London accessible from the area.
