Description

A Truly Charming Thatched Cottage in the Heart of Melbourn.

Nestled on the ever-popular High Street in Melbourn, The Thatched House is a beautifully presented, detached cottage that perfectly blends timeless character with modern comfort. This exquisite home has been lovingly restored and sympathetically renovated to the highest standard, offering a unique opportunity to acquire a slice of village history without compromise.

The property boasts an enchanting, walled rear garden that provides complete privacy. A gated entrance leads into a beautifully landscaped outdoor space, featuring a generous patio area, manicured lawn, and a secluded secondary patio, the perfect spot to enjoy the morning and early afternoon sun.

Inside, the home exudes charm and warmth. The current owners have taken great care to retain and enhance the property’s original features, including stunning inglenook fireplaces, exposed timbers, and a recently re-thatched and ridged roof. The result is a character-rich home that’s ready for a family to move in and enjoy. The internal accommodation is both spacious and versatile. At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen/dining room, complemented by a separate utility room and a convenient downstairs W/C. The ground floor also offers a cosy living room, a formal dining room, and an additional reception room, all full of charm and character.

Uniquely, two staircases lead to the first floor, where you will find four generously sized double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms benefit from bespoke handmade fitted wardrobes, maximising internal storage. A stylish family bathroom and further built-in storage complete the layout. The

Thatched House is a rare gem, steeped in character, beautifully maintained, and ideally located.
