Main Street, Wadenhoe, Northamptonshire, PE8

A three-bedroom Grade II Listed thatched cottage, situated in the heart of a well-regarded conservation village.

The property sits within the centre of Wadenhoe, a particularly attractive village known for its limestone houses and rural setting. Built of stone under thatch, the cottage has medieval origins with much of the structure dating from the 18th century, which was later attached to a barn to the rear to create a more spacious dwelling.

The house has been updated over time, while retaining a number of original features, including exposed timber beams and inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel burner. The interiors are presented in a light, country style, with a modern kitchen and two bathrooms.

The accommodation is arranged predominantly over the ground floor and extends to approximately 1,500 sq ft. The house is entered via a side courtyard into a central reception space, which provides access to the principal rooms.

To one side is the sitting room, with a multi-fuel burner set within the inglenook fireplace. Beyond this is a double bedroom and shower room. On the opposite side, the kitchen and dining room are arranged as an open-plan space, providing a practical and sociable area for day-to-day living. The kitchen is fitted with a range of units and work surfaces, with space for dining and breakfast area.

The garden room adjoins and provides a light-filled extension, with views over the garden and direct access outside. This room also benefits from a multi-fuel burner, adding to its year-round appeal. A useful store is also located off this part of the house which has planning approved for conversion in to a utility.

A staircase rises from the sitting room to the first floor, where there are two further double bedrooms and bathroom. The rooms on this level benefit from notably high ceilings, which is unusual for a property of this age.

The gardens are arranged in a traditional cottage style and wrap around the house. To the rear, there is a gravelled and paved terrace, well suited to outdoor dining, with a lawn beyond bordered by established planting, mature trees and shrubs. The garden extends to a small area of woodland at the rear, with a pedestrian gate providing access to the surrounding countryside. To the front, there is an additional garden area and the house is approached via a walled courtyard to the side.
