*Guide Price £500,000 - £475,000*

A rare-to-market charming and beautifully presented Grade II listed 16th-century thatched cottage offered with no onward chain, set in a private Horton Heath location. Brimming with character, the property offers over 1,000 sq. ft. of versatile accommodation, including an open-plan living/dining area with feature fireplace, a second reception with log burner, a galley-style kitchen with butler sink, utility room, and a ground-floor bedroom or study served by a modern shower room. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, each accessed by separate staircases, and a stylish four-piece bathroom. Period features such as exposed oak flooring, beams, and fireplaces blend beautifully with modern touches throughout.

Externally, the home sits on a secluded plot with a charming country-style garden, secure gated frontage, and ample gravel driveway parking. A detached one-bedroom annexe complements the main house, offering a fitted kitchen, open-plan lounge/diner, and shower room, currently used for short-term lets with a strong rental history.
