A Rare Slice of English History – A Unique A-Frame Thatched Cottage in the Heart of Prees
Call us 9AM - 9PM -7 days a week, 365 days a year! Nestled within the sought-after village of Prees, this exceptional A-frame thatched cottage, believed to date back to circa 1650 during the reign of King Charles II, is a truly rare opportunity. With its striking silhouette, exposed beams, and historic Inglenook fireplace, this property is rich in character and charm – a true gem for lovers of period homes.
Set on a substantial and mature plot, the property enjoys an abundance of outdoor space, including a large rear garden with multiple seating areas, a brick-built store, garden shed, static caravan offering flexible use, and a double garage with ample parking for several vehicles.
Internally, the layout is wonderfully flexible. The ground floor features a characterful living room with exposed beams and a traditional Inglenook fire, a study/home office, three bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room), a ground floor bathroom, and an open-plan dining kitchen with plenty of space to entertain.
To the first floor, set beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, are two further large bedrooms in the roof space. Access between the rooms is open, making the second ideal as a dressing room, playroom, or occasional bedroom.
While the property would now benefit from some modernisation, it offers immense potential for those looking to create a unique family home in a picturesque village setting, just a short drive from Whitchurch, surrounded by rolling countryside and only a short walk from Prees Primary School with an OFSTED rating of Good.
Rarely do properties of this calibre, history, and potential come to market — particularly in such a desirable and well-connected location.

ID Checks
Once an offer is accepted on a property marketed by Dourish & Day estate agents we are required to complete ID verification checks on all buyers and to apply ongoing monitoring until the transaction ends. Whilst this is the responsibility of Dourish & Day we may use the services of MoveButler, to verify Clients’ identity. This is not a credit check and therefore will have no effect on your credit history. You agree for us to complete these checks, and the cost of these checks is £30.00 inc. VAT per buyer. This is paid in advance, when an offer is agreed and prior to a sales memorandum being issued. This charge is non-refundable.
Garden
The garden is a true extension of the property's character—generous, mature, and wonderfully private. Wrapping around the rear of the cottage, the outdoor space offers a mix of lawns, established planting, and several tucked-away seating areas, perfect for relaxing, entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
A variety of trees, shrubs and flowering borders create seasonal interest and a sense of seclusion, while a brick-built store and garden shed provide practical storage. At the far end of the garden, you'll find a static caravan, offering fantastic flexibility—whether for hobbies, guests, or a creative retreat.
Whether you’re a keen gardener or just someone who enjoys the great outdoors, this garden offers space, tranquillity, and potential in equal measure.
