A rare example of a thatched, timber‑framed cottage set in about 1.6 acres, this Grade II property combines pronounced period character with flexible ancillary accommodation. The main house, dating to around 1750, offers exposed beams, oak panelling, a wood‑burning stove and a well‑fitted Fired Earth kitchen with a Heritage range. The private grounds include formal parterres, a small stream with bridges and mature specimen planting — ideal for family outdoor life and garden projects.
The oak‑framed barn annexe provides self‑contained accommodation with an open plan ground floor and a double bedroom with shower room above, useful for multi‑generational living, long‑term guests or rental income. Additional leisure features include a handcrafted shepherd’s hut with deck and hot tub and a Scandinavian BBQ hut for year‑round entertaining. The property is chain free and conveniently positioned off the village green with local amenities and strong school catchment nearby.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate adaptations or extensions. Council tax is described as expensive, and some plot areas are designated agricultural rather than garden for planning purposes. The main house’s principal bathroom is one, though the annexe has a modern shower room. Older construction and pre‑2000 works mean asbestos‑containing materials may be present; purchasers should obtain professional surveys and specialist advice.
Overall this is a characterful, secluded family home with substantial grounds and immediate ancillary income or guest potential. It will suit buyers who value period authenticity, outdoor space and flexible accommodation but are prepared to work within listed‑building constraints and maintain older fabric.
