A charming Grade II listed, 16th-century thatched cottage, offering a wealth of original character, three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a generous rear garden. Situated in the heart of the popular village of Overton, the property combines period features with modern comforts and benefits from driveway parking.
Dating back to the 16th century, this beautifully presented home retains an abundance of character, including exposed oak beams, vaulted ceilings, lattice windows and an impressive inglenook fireplace. The accommodation has been thoughtfully updated over the years, preserving its historic charm whilst providing comfortable and versatile living space.
The principal reception room is particularly impressive, featuring a substantial inglenook fireplace, exposed timbers and limestone flooring with underfloor heating. A second reception room provides additional flexibility, currently arranged as a sitting and dining area, with the potential to serve as a home office or separate dining room.
The kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry, wooden worktops and a range cooker, with ample space for a dining table. A stable door provides direct access to the rear garden, whilst a useful utility area with WC and a cellar offer additional practicality.
Upstairs, the accommodation comprises three bedrooms, each enjoying its own individual character, with exposed timbers and attractive period detailing. The principal bedroom features a vaulted ceiling, whilst the family bathroom is fitted with a modern white suite, including a bath with shower over. Additional eaves storage is accessible from the landing.
Outside, the property enjoys a substantial rear garden, extending approximately 150ft according to previous marketing particulars. Predominantly laid to lawn with mature trees, shrubs and established boundaries, the garden offers considerable space for outdoor entertaining, gardening and family enjoyment. Driveway parking for two vehicles is situated to the side of the cottage.
The property was reportedly rethatched in 2020 and has previously benefited from listed building consent for a proposed side and rear extension, under reference 22/00086/LBC. Interested purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding the current status of any permissions.
