A stunning Grade II listed thatched cottage situated on the outskirts of the popular village of Carhampton. Backing onto open countryside, this delightful property benefits from plentiful off-road parking, a detached garage, gardens to the front and rear together with wonderful countryside views.

During the mid-C20, the building was divided into two separate dwellings but was then converted back into a single dwelling during the late-C20. The property retains a significant proportion of its early fabric, including a plank and muntin screen in the living room and a partially smoke-blackened roof structure. Whilst retaining many of the original features, this property does enjoy the modern benefits of oil-fired central heating throughout together with a modern kitchen, bathroom, shower room and cloakroom.
