Slow broadband and average mobile signal in this rural location
A Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage set on a large plot in rural Hitcham, offered with no onward chain. The home retains traditional character and thatched charm, with attractive long-range views and multiple reception rooms arranged over two floors. The layout is practical for family living or for someone seeking a character renovation project.
Important practical points are clear: the property has an EPC rating of F, runs primarily on electricity with an air-source heat pump, and is sold in its current condition. The cottage sits on separate title areas and the main title has been possessory since 2004; registration work is underway but buyers should expect additional legal checks and costs.
This house will suit a buyer wanting countryside character and space rather than a fully modernised finish. There is scope to improve energy performance and interior layout, but works will need to respect listed-building constraints. Broadband is slow and mobile signal is average, so factor connectivity into plans. Buyers should also note a buyer’s premium/administration fee is payable on exchange.
