Set in the peaceful hamlet of Windsor Green, this two-bedroom thatched cottage offers classic period character and far-reaching countryside views. The cottage sits on a large wrap-around plot with off-street parking, a garage and a separate workshop — ideal for hobby storage or home projects. Re-thatched in 2017, the roof is cared for, while the rest of the property presents a straightforward renovation opportunity to refresh interiors and services.
Internally the house is compact (approximately 799 sq ft) with exposed beams, an inglenook brick fireplace and double-aspect reception rooms that emphasise the cottage’s character. The layout includes a ground-floor sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, with a generous principal bedroom and an additional first-floor room currently used as a dressing room. The accommodation will suit buyers seeking a manageable home with authentic period features and scope to personalise.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed which will restrict certain alterations and could complicate works and costs. It requires cosmetic updating and likely some services and thermal improvements. Drainage is private and broadband speeds are slow — factors to consider for modern living. There is also a right of way across a neighbouring property to note.
This cottage will appeal to buyers wanting a secluded rural base with character, large gardens and outbuildings, and who are comfortable with the restrictions and responsibilities of listed ownership. A measured survey and pre-application planning advice are recommended before committing to works.
