A rare Grade II listed thatch cottage dating from around 1800, offered chain-free with private gated parking and a generous plot. Original features include exposed beams and a Hamstone fireplace that give the house clear period charm. The accommodation is compact (approximately 737 sq ft) with two bedrooms, a sunroom, a snug and a living room, plus one bathroom.
The property is sold in need of renovation and has low/variable ceiling heights and small room proportions typical of older cottages. The listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate some repairs or re-roofing works; any buyer should budget for sympathetic, specialist repairs and obtain appropriate listed-building consents. Despite the need for works, the thatch roof and period fabric are intact and the setting is secluded with substantial mature trees around the garden.
This home will suit a buyer seeking character and the opportunity to restore a historic cottage rather than a move-in-ready house. Its village location in a quiet farming community offers low local crime, reasonable broadband and mobile signal, and access to several well-regarded primary schools nearby. The freehold tenure, private parking and sizeable garden add practical value for long-term use or considered renovation projects.
