Description: A detached, period thatched Grade II listed cottage of immense charm, dating back in part to the 16th century with later additions. Set within a very pretty area in the highly sought after Cock Lane and bounded by the village green. The cottage enjoys a sunny aspect and is very secluded.

The Thatched Cottage is in superb order throughout and has been the subject of a thorough and tasteful modernisation and refurbishment programme by the present owners creating an elegant, character country cottage. The property enjoys spacious, well lit accommodation with original exposed beams to ceilings and large open log fire. The property has retained much of its original features and is a truly beautiful example of its period.

The highly regarded junior school is just across the road, it is a Primary school and the children have left by 3.30pm and they are not in school at the week ends or indeed the summer/ Christmas holidays and therefore there really is minimal disturbance to this peaceful village lane.

In Bradfield there is a fine sports and fitness centre with membership open to the public, with indoor tennis courts, marvellous indoor swimming pool, squash and fitness centre.
