Set in a tranquil hamlet near Long Sutton, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines historic character with spacious family living. Re-laid by master thatchers in 2021, the property retains inglenook fireplaces, exposed beams and window seats across generous reception rooms and four upstairs bedrooms.
The house sits in beautifully landscaped gardens of about 0.62 acres, with formal lawns, productive fruit beds, a polytunnel and a rear patio for alfresco dining. Detached stone outbuildings include a double garage, workshop barn and summerhouse — the barn has potential for ancillary conversion subject to planning consent.
Practical details are straightforward: mains gas boiler and radiators, secondary glazing, and ample parking. Important constraints are clear — Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate structural or extension work, and the EPC (dated 2011) is D. Council Tax is Band F, so running costs will be higher than average.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful family house or a garden-enthusiast retreat in an affluent, low-crime rural setting with good local schools and easy access to the A303 and nearby market towns. Those wanting major remodelling should factor in listed-status permissions and associated costs.
