Old Thatch
This is an extremely fine example of a Grade II Listed thatched cottage, originally built in the 16th Century with later 17th Century additions. At some point in it’s history it was owned by a skilled carpenter, remnants of which can be appreciated in the wood panelling/dining room (affectionately known as the carpenters room). The property is constructed of part brick and part weatherboard with timber frame plaster infill gable ends and feature catslide roof to the rear (where the kitchen is located). The thatch was renewed in 2022 and the property has been much loved and restored over the years retaining many of the original features including inglenook fireplaces, quarry tiles and beams. Alongside the history, modern conveniences include gas central heating, secondary glazing, fibre optic wifi and USB charge points.
On the ground floor there is an entrance vestibule to the side which leads you into the spacious study area/sitting room with feature inglenook fireplace and quarry tiled flooring. Just beyond here is the dining room with feature beams, wood panelling and inglenook fireplace with wood burning stove. The kitchen is well equipped with painted wall and base units, granite work surfaces, Rangemaster professional oven, butler sink and integrated appliances including washing machine, dishwasher and fridge/freezer. There is also a stable door (currently used as the main entrance).To complete the ground floor is a shower room with feature Victorian style w/c and wash basin together with a walk in shower. There are two separate staircases, one from the dining area and the other from the kitchen. You can access all bedrooms from either staircase. There are 3 double bedrooms, one with fitted wardrobes and a corner sink unit and two with feature stained glass window panes. There is also a separate bathroom with bath, w/c and wash basin together with a large eaves storage space.

To the front there is a detached garage with modern electric door providing off road parking for 2 cars infront of the garage.
