"A beautiful detached Grade II listed thatched cottage in the Woodford Valley with beautiful gardens and wonderful views over the River Avon water meadows. No chain.

Description A charming and spacious Grade II listed thatched cottage, steeped in history and set within approximately one acre of beautiful gardens in the heart of the Woodford Valley.

Manor Farm Cottage is a delightful period home of medieval origin, offering surprisingly generous and versatile accommodation with a wealth of character features including exposed cruck timbers, an impressive inglenook fireplace, and brick and flint elevations beneath a traditional thatched roof.

The cottage enjoys a wonderful rural setting opposite the property currently occupied by a public house, with panoramic views over the River Avon and adjoining water meadows. The property is arranged over two floors with five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a mix of formal and informal living areas, making it ideal for family life or multi generational living.

Set in grounds of around one acre, the property also features lawns, a formal garden, a pond, and a wooded area that leads to a carrier of the River Avon. There is ample parking, a garage, workshop, garden shed, and a brick and flint detached barn which is currently let out, providing an annual income of £12,000. The barn can be made available with vacant possession if required and offers excellent potential for conversion into an annex, home office or studio, subject to any necessary consents.

Additionally, there is further land to the rear of the garden that may be available to purchase by separate negotiation, offering the opportunity to extend the grounds or explore future possibilities.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home in one of the area s most picturesque and sought after locations.
