Nestled within the heart of the countryside, tucked away, yet overlooking the village green, this enchanting Grade 11 period thatched cottage is the very definition of quintessential English living. Brimming with character and history, the cottage showcases original features throughout, from exposed timber beams to a welcoming fireplace that has warmed generations.

Outside, the rose-clad façade and manicured cottage garden create a picture-postcard setting, offering a peaceful retreat where time appears to slow. Inside, every room tells a story — a rare blend of rustic charm and gentle elegance.
Walking through the wrought iron gates up to the little thatched porch you are immediately smitten.

Upon entering, you are welcomed into a charming entrance hallway that immediately sets the tone for the cottage. Rich with period character, the space offers a warm and inviting first impression, hinting at the history and craftsmanship that unfold throughout the home. The cottage living room is full of warmth and character, where exposed timbers, soft natural light, and a welcoming fireplace (with cast iron electric woodburner) create a space perfectly suited to quiet evenings and relaxed country living. Off the hall is a large open plan kitchen/dining space with doors out to the cottage garden, which is both practical and inviting, ample cupboards with built in appliances, granite work tops and range cooker are thoughtfully arranged to provide a comfortable area for cooking, dining, and gathering, while retaining the character and warmth expected of a period cottage. The large utility space seamlessly flows from the kitchen and offers more storage, work tops and space for a washer machine and dryer. The stable door leads you into the garden. Downstairs also offers a shower room.

Upstairs there is a large landing area which could offer as a study space. The principal bedroom with vaulted ceiling, fitted wardrobes and views to the garden and the village green is a WOW! There are two further double bedrooms (one with built in wardrobes), and one accessed through the other and a family bathroom.

The garden enjoys a sweeping lawn, flowering borders, and shaded corners create a series of inviting outdoor spaces, ideal for quiet reflection, entertaining, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. A hidden summer house, vegetable and fruit beds and large greenhouse complete the garden. This tranquil setting offers the rare luxury of space, privacy, and the timeless beauty of the English countryside.

There is a single garage with parking in front along with further parking at the property. The property also owns a small section of the village green.

This is a truly special home for those seeking heritage, romance, and the enduring beauty of rural England.
