About this property
38 Church Street is a handsome detached medieval cob cottage in the heart of the village. Believed to date from the 16th century, the house is Grade II listed and has been the subject of a comprehensive and sympathetic restoration, blending original character with the comforts of contemporary living.
Period features have been carefully retained throughout — exposed beams and timbers, attractive fireplaces with woodburners, and built-in window seats — while considered new additions include Portland stone flooring across the ground floor, elm boarded floors to the first floor, oak doors and underfloor heating throughout. Elm, historically the timber of choice for vernacular English cottages of this period, has been used in keeping with the property's character.
