Pippins is a Grade II listed thatched cottage recently and carefully renovated to blend period character with modern comfort. Exposed beams, brick fireplaces and bespoke built-in storage give each room individual charm, while a bright kitchen/dining room and two stylish bathrooms provide everyday convenience. Low, sloped ceilings in parts of the house preserve historic proportions but reduce usable wall height and headroom in some rooms.
The house sits on an exceptional 1.15-acre plot with formal gardens, mature trees, a pond with floating deck and a summerhouse. A detached double garage with electric doors and loft storage offers ample parking and workshop space, and presents realistic annexe or development potential subject to planning permission (STPP). The plot backs directly onto open fields, giving uninterrupted rural views and privacy.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed, so any alterations will be constrained and likely require listed-building consent. Council Tax is Band F and the EPC is exempt. Broadband is fast and local schools are well regarded, making this appealing for families seeking countryside living rather than a do‑it‑yourself project.
Overall this is a rare country home for buyers who value historic character and generous grounds, and who understand the responsibilities and constraints of listed ownership. The recent renovation reduces immediate maintenance, but the listing and thatched roof mean specialist upkeep will be a continuing consideration.
