Characterful Grade II listed cottage with large garden and excellent commuter links.
Grade II listed 17th‑century timber‑framed cottage with period features
Tudor Cottage is a Grade II listed, timber‑framed home believed to date from the 17th century, thoughtfully extended in the 20th century to provide flexible, spacious accommodation across multiple floors. The house retains authentic features — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and two staircases — paired with modern comforts such as a bespoke kitchen with Aga, conservatory and double glazing installed after 2002.
Set on a large plot approaching 0.25 acres, the private mature rear garden offers room for play, entertaining and potential landscaping projects. Practical benefits include a garage with parking area, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, and fast to ultrafast broadband options. The property is well placed for village life, highly regarded local schools and direct rail services to London Marylebone in under an hour.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing means any alterations will be restricted and may complicate works or modernisation. The thatched/Tudor styling and age of the building mean maintenance and specialist repairs could be required over time; buyers should budget accordingly. Council tax is described as expensive and the local crime rate is above average, both of which merit investigation.
This home will suit buyers who value period character, a generous garden and village convenience, and who are prepared to accept the responsibilities of owning a listed, historic property. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, original features and scope for sympathetic improvement.
