Summary - THE THATCHED COTTAGE HIGH WYCH LANE HIGH WYCH SAWBRIDGEWORTH CM21 0JN
3 bed 2 bath Detached
Secluded large garden and parking in peaceful High Wych hamlet.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage tucked into the heart of High Wych, offering three characterful bedrooms and a large, secluded landscaped garden. Period features include exposed beams, a traditional fireplace and a converted cobbler’s workshop now used as a generous study. The property blends historic charm with practical updates such as a shaker-style kitchen with integrated appliances and gas central heating.
The house sits on a substantial plot with mature trees, multiple seating areas and a resin driveway providing off-street parking for several cars plus an original garage used for storage. The extended sitting room added circa 1970 brings light and garden views via a bay and large picture window. There is scope, subject to the usual listed-building and planning consents, to add an ensuite to the principal bedroom.
Buyers should note this is a listed building, which will complicate alterations and maintenance and may increase costs. The home shows period quirks — crooked floors and secondary-glazed windows — that contribute character but may require attention. The garage is largely storage and not a modern workshop, and the property is in council tax band G, described here as quite expensive.
This home will suit buyers seeking a historic cottage in a quiet hamlet setting: families wanting village living near good local schools, or buyers who value character and garden space and are prepared for listed-building responsibilities. The EPC is exempt; services are mains gas and drainage with a water softener installed.
