Description

The Accommodation

Tucked away in the heart of this peaceful hamlet, Mays Cottage is a truly enchanting Grade II Listed thatched cottage – rich in charm, steeped in history, and brimming with character.

This delightful three-bedroom detached home offers quintessential English country living, with whitewashed elevations, a traditional thatched roof, climbing roses, and a setting that feels lifted from the pages of a storybook. Inside, a wealth of period features awaits – including exposed oak beams, tiled floors, and two magnificent inglenook fireplaces.

You enter the home via a side lobby/cloak area, leading through to a well-appointed family bathroom with panelled bath, W.C and wash hand basin. The country-style kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with bespoke hand-made units and offers ample space for dining, with windows to the front and rear flooding the room with natural light. The sitting room is warm and welcoming with a stunning inglenook fireplace, original stone flooring, and dual aspect windows that frame views of the garden. The dining room also enjoys an inglenook fireplace, staircase rising to bedroom two and flows through to a charming conservatory – a perfect year-round retreat to enjoy the garden in all seasons.

Upstairs, a generous landing gives access to two beautifully proportioned bedrooms, each offering lovely views and a wealth of original features, including exposed timbers and cottage charm throughout.

Outside

Set behind a large front garden and approached via a private driveway, the property enjoys ample parking, a detached garage and a separate workshop.

The gardens are a real highlight – mature, lovingly tended, and beautifully landscaped with a variety of trees, shrubs, and flowering borders. An ornamental pond adds to the tranquillity, while sunny seating areas provide the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or simply take in the stunning countryside views that surround the property.

Beyond the main house, Mays Cottage continues to delight. A superb detached garden room with underfloor heating offers excellent flexibility – ideal as a fourth bedroom, studio, home office or creative retreat – complete with its own stylish shower room. This space is perfect for guests, working from home, or simply escaping with a book.

Further outbuildings include a detached utility room and a workshop with attic space – offering scope for hobbies, additional storage, or further development (subject to planning).
