Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Crofton, this Grade II Listed period home, Meadow Cottage, boasts significant investment potential while preserving its historic charm. Dating back to the 17th century and featuring a striking thatched roof, the property is meticulously maintained with essential character elements like exposed beams and leaded windows. Recent renovations include the thatched roof being fully re-thatched approximately 12 years ago, ensuring longevity for this feature.
The layout offers versatile living spaces including a dual-aspect sitting room leading to the garden, a dining area adorned with paneling and fireplace, and a drawing room ideal for family gatherings. The kitchen—a solid base—opens into a conservatory where natural light floods in, enhancing everyday living. With four generous bedrooms upstairs, there’s inherent potential for reconfiguration to optimize space or create additional bathrooms pending necessary permissions.
Set on an expansive plot with well-tended gardens and additional structures—a brick-built bothy and two timber studios equipped with utilities—the possibilities for these spaces are numerous: guest accommodation, home office setups, or creative studios. Moreover, a small paddock adds to outdoor enjoyment. The installed solar panels minimize running costs while providing income from energy exportation.
Accessed via a gravel driveway lined with pleached beech trees and positioned within reach of excellent local amenities—schools, transport links and market towns—this property combines rural tranquillity with modern conveniences. Whether looking to invest or make it your family home with opportunities to enhance further, Meadow Cottage presents an attractive proposition.
