Grade II listed thatched cottage with extensive sympathetic renovation
Set on roughly 0.65 acres with direct River Ebble frontage, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines generous family living with beautifully reworked period detail. The recently completed renovation includes re-thatching, upgraded electrics and plumbing, and a new water treatment plant — making the house largely move-in ready while preserving its historic character.
The heart of the home is a spacious kitchen/dining room with solid wood cabinetry, an island and French doors to the terrace, supported by a large utility/boot room, study and formal reception rooms including a 27ft drawing room with an inglenook and a wood-burning stove. Four bedrooms (including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes), two bathrooms and two stairwells provide flexible accommodation across more than 2,300 sq ft.
Outside, formal lawns, contoured herbaceous borders and a wild garden create varied outdoor rooms leading down to the river — ideal for family life, wildlife and outdoor entertaining. Practical benefits include ample off-street parking for several cars and a secluded terrace for dining. Be aware the Grade II listing will limit structural changes, broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average; there are only two bathrooms for four bedrooms.
