Description

"

This magnificent thatched farmhouse, set within half an acre of mature gardens, dates back to the 15th century. It is currently arranged as the owner s accommodation along with two holiday letting wings, Little Thatch and Wishing Well.

The property comprises a substantial, Grade II listed thatched farmhouse, rich in historical character. The original cruck frame construction is visible in the rear wall of the building, while period features are present throughout, including exposed beams and structural timbers, a Tudor window frame in the master bedroom, and a large inglenook fireplace in the main living room.

Currently configured as three separate living areas, each offering charming accommodation, the property could be easily integrated into one large family home, adapted to include a granny annexe, or maintained as a lucrative holiday let. The current owners have successfully let Wishing Well and Little Thatch as holiday cottages.

This remarkable property presents a rare opportunity to own a historically significant home with exceptional versatility whether as a grand family residence, a multi generational home, or a thriving holiday let business
