Post Box Cottage is a Grade II listed, three-bedroom thatched cottage set on a generous plot in Thorpe Waterville. The roof was re-thatched in 2022, and the house retains strong period character — exposed beams, an inglenook with wood burner and limestone walls — while the later extension gives flexible living space and scope for ground-floor accommodation.
The property is perfectly habitable but needs updating throughout, offering a discerning buyer the chance to create a special family home. Practical features include oil-fired central heating, double glazing, ample parking, a timber garage and a shaped rear garden with vegetable plot, greenhouse and stone store. The house is sold freehold and chain free.
Buyers should note the Listed status: repairs, alterations and any extensions will be subject to restrictions and may cause additional cost and time. There is shared private drainage, a medium flood risk and council tax is above average. These are material factors to consider alongside the renovation scope.
Set between Oundle and Thrapston in an established rural community, the cottage is close to a selection of well-regarded primary and secondary schools and local village amenities. For a family wanting period character, parking and outdoor space — and prepared to manage the constraints of a listed, older home — this property offers substantial potential.
