Larch Cottage is a Grade II listed stone village house dating to around 1750, offering abundant original character and period features throughout. The ground floor balances cosy entertaining spaces — a sitting room with stone fireplace and French doors, a snug with an inglenook and woodburner — with practical living in a kitchen/breakfast room that includes an Aga and walk-in pantry. A converted office and adjacent utility provide flexible workspace and service space.
Upstairs the principal bedroom enjoys a vaulted ceiling and ensuite shower; two further first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom serve the household, with a second-floor occasional bedroom and loft storage above. The mature, enclosed garden with terracing, raised vegetable beds and a large plot provides private outdoor living; parking is straightforward with a garage and off-street space.
This is a property for buyers who value historic charm and village life in a prosperous rural setting close to good local schools and countryside routes. Practical considerations include oil-fired heating and an above-average Council Tax (Band E). The Grade II listing means alterations will be restricted and may require specialist consent; buyers should allow for maintenance appropriate to an older, listed home.
Broadband capacity in the postcode area is high and mobile coverage is generally available, supporting remote working or streaming. For those seeking a characterful family home with scope to personalise while retaining period appeal, Larch Cottage represents a rare village opportunity — provided you accept the responsibilities of owning a listed property.
