Quince Cottage is a Grade II listed 3/4-bedroom cottage occupying a prominent village-centre position with direct, elevated views over the church grounds. The house blends period character — exposed beams, brickwork and a thatched-style roof — with sympathetic modern adaptations including a vaulted living room, decked entertaining area and two bathrooms. The layout suits flexible family living: three reception rooms, a generous living/dining space and a first-floor landing currently used as a home office or occasional bedroom.
The large, well-segmented plot is a standout: a full-width raised deck, substantial lawn, side access and a rear orchard/allotment offer privacy and scope for gardening or outdoor entertaining. Off-street parking for four-plus vehicles is unusual for a village centre and adds practical value. Local amenities, a good primary school and accessible A14 links make the location convenient while retaining a peaceful rural character.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status — useful for character but likely to restrict alterations and require specialist consent and maintenance. Heating is oil-fired and the roof is traditional thatch/period style, both of which carry higher upkeep and running-cost considerations than modern alternatives. Broadband is average despite excellent mobile signal; purchasers who work from home should check speeds against their needs.
Overall this is a character-rich home for a buyer who values village life, substantial outdoor space and original features, and who is comfortable managing the responsibilities that come with a listed rural cottage.
