Set at the end of a bridleway in Calstone, this charming thatched semi-detached cottage offers flexible, character-filled living on a very large plot. The house blends period features — exposed beams, cottage-style rooms and a thatch roof — with practical updates including double glazing and a 2022 boiler. The layout, once two cottages, creates useful separation with two staircases and adaptable rooms for family life or home working.
Outdoor space is a major draw: a private, pretty front garden and a generous south-facing rear garden with a covered terrace for al fresco dining. Mature planting and recent feather-board fencing provide a secluded, village-garden feel. Casual on-street parking is available opposite, though there is no formal allocated parking.
Practical realities are straightforward and honest. Heating is via bottled LPG to radiators and a boiler; windows are double glazed but the solid brick walls are understood to be uninsulated. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and there is only one family bathroom, which may matter for larger households. Council tax is above average.
For families drawn to countryside living — close to walking, riding and national heritage sites — this property provides character, space and good nearby schooling, while offering scope for energy upgrades or interior modernisation to suit contemporary needs.
