Property description

Step back in time with this delightful detached grade II listed thatched cottage. This really is a hidden gem. We have been driving past the end of the driveway for years and had no idea of the delights that were hidden at the end. Thatchings is situated behind the Old School and so the position really is quiet and private. There are stunning views over fields to the rear and side which are part of the village conservation area. This part of the village is steeped in history with St Osyth’s well just a few yards away which is a historic Holy Well which has been a source of pilgrimage since before the village church was built. What we love so much about this cottage is that so many of the original features remain. There is a terrific inglenook fireplace, lovely beams and leaded window yet hidden discreetly away is a very modern boiler. The kitchen is bespoke being crafted from reclaimed pine and features a walk in larder and also a cottage must have the Aga. In the dining room there is an inviting window seat which is a perfect spot from which to admire the sunny south facing garden. The images hardly do justice to the simply sublime garden. It has been a labour of love some thirty years in the making. It has been planted to provide all year colour. An ancient york stone terrace provides the most delightful setting for entertaining. The sheer variety of plants is overwhelming and to the rear of the garden is an allotment sized fruit and vegetable area with gated access and further gated access to the field which could be ideal for dog walking. With such character the position the garden and the view Thatchings is just perfect
