Description

This charming thatched cottage, believed to be over 400 years old, features an original stone construction that boasts a wealth of historic character. Inside, you'll find period details such as exposed ceiling and wall timbers, stone walls, and an inviting Inglenook fireplace that adds to the home's unique charm. With three generously-sized double bedrooms, along with a dressing room and two reception areas, the layout is well-suited for family living. The modern kitchen is equipped with an oil-fired 'AGA' cooker and opens into a utility room with ample storage space. A ground-floor shower room provides added convenience for busy households. The first floor landing features period beams and leads to spacious bedrooms filled with natural light from multiple windows. The property is situated in the heart of a picturesque conservation village on the edge of The Welland Valley, making it ideal for those who appreciate rural tranquility alongside community life. With well-stocked private gardens extending approximately 80 feet, there is ample outdoor space to enjoy or even cultivate further. An outbuilding measuring approximately 28'5" x 14'0" presents exciting renovation potential—ideal for conversion into additional living space or perhaps a granny annex. This space currently serves as a garage but could be reimagined to suit various needs. Additionally, the property includes a stable that adds to its rural appeal. Off-road parking is another practical feature, along with secure access through double gates leading to the garden. Given its location and potential for extension or refurbishment—especially with recent electrical safety checks and a re-thatched roof—this property represents an excellent opportunity for investment in a historic setting. The extensive outdoor area offers possibilities for landscaping or even vegetable gardening while maintaining privacy thanks to high walled boundaries. For those looking to blend history with personal touches in a tranquil setting, this cottage presents considerable promise for future enhancement.
