Step back in time without sacrificing modern comfort in this stunning grade II listed thatched cottage, beautifully nestled in a picturesque village location that perfectly blends history, charm, and convenience. Believed to date back to the reign of Henry VIII, the original part of the home, around 600 years old, retains its authentic character with low ceilings throughout, exposed beams and period features, while a thoughtful extension provides the modern living space today’s lifestyle demands.
This detached cottage offers a warm and welcoming layout, featuring a spacious kitchen, a dining room/snug area with a beautiful gas fire that creates a cosy ambience, and a bright lounge with French doors opening onto the rear garden, ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms and a stylish bathroom complete with a roll-top bath and separate shower.
Outside, enjoy low-maintenance rear and side gardens, perfect for peaceful mornings or summer evenings. There’s also potential to add parking to the front (stpp). Ready to move straight into and presented to a lovely standard, this home effortlessly combines centuries-old charm with modern comfort. This home also has the benefit of no onward chain.
Offering a true village lifestyle, with local walks, community spirit, and countryside on your doorstep, yet just a short drive from commuter links to London and surrounding towns, this unique home delivers the best of both worlds and really needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated. This would make a fantastic investment and based on accommodation nearby could be let as a holiday home for up to £1000 a week.
