Steeped in history and full of timeless appeal, this enchanting 500-year-old detached thatched cottage enjoys a south-facing position in the highly sought-after village of Sutton Benger. Lovingly maintained by the current owners for over forty years, this unique home blends historic character with modern comfort.
Originally configured as two separate cottages, the property has been sympathetically extended to provide versatile accommodation suited to a range of lifestyles.
Approached via a shared driveway, the property offers an exceptionally generous private parking area for at least four large vehicles. An impressive entrance hall with a vaulted ceiling and staircase creates a welcoming first impression.
Positioned to the front to maximise the natural south-facing light, the principal reception rooms are filled with warmth and character. The inviting living room and elegant dining room both feature attractive fireplaces, complemented by a separate study and a well-appointed kitchen with a range-style cooker and integrated fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and microwave.
The versatile ground floor also includes a modern shower room, utility room, internal access to the garage store, and two additional reception rooms that could serve as ground-floor bedrooms, a playroom, or a home gym.
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, including a generous principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, together with a stylish family bathroom.
Outside, beautifully landscaped wraparound gardens surround the cottage, with mature trees, shrubs, and traditional cottage planting providing a high degree of privacy. Several patio areas enjoy sunshine throughout the day, including a superb rear terrace overlooking a charming thatched well, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Situation
