Securely nestled behind a pair of electric wrought iron gates, Thicketts is a timber framed, part-thatched cottage, the original parts of which date back to the 16th century.
Through the impressive gateway, the gravel driveway, lined with trees, sweeps past the house leading to a detached double garage with ample room for parking. The landscaped front garden is well-manicured and a stone pathway winds its way to the front door.
Opening directly into the open-plan living / dining room, this beautiful, generously-proportioned room is full of period charm with exposed timbers and an inglenook fireplace with bressummer beam.
The bespoke, country-style kitchen boasts both granite and solid wood worktops, solid wood units, a double Butler sink and a dual fuel range oven set within a brick chimney alcove. The part-vaulted ceiling and slate flooring provide the room with additional character charm and the room is further complemented by a walk-in larder and separate utility room. Double doors lead from the kitchen onto the secluded terrace, making this an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining - with the uninterrupted field views adding to the feeling of peace and tranquillity.
Opposite the kitchen, across the courtyard and its ornate koi pond, the remaining reception rooms can be found - a bar / garden room, a sitting room with brick fireplace and a dual aspect study.
The ground floor accommodation is completed both by a downstairs bathroom and a separate cloakroom at either end of the property.
This country home offers two staircases, at either end of the property - one leading to the two inter-connecting, double bedrooms in the original part of the house, the other leading to the remaining rooms.
Set within a beautifully landscaped plot, backing onto fields with far-reaching views, the garden offers a courtyard area with koi pond, terrace with covered barbeque area and lawns. Mature trees and shrubs complete these stunning grounds

Surface Water Flood Risk
Unlike flooding from rivers, surface water flooding can happen many miles from a river, often in places that people wouldn’t expect because it’s a long way from a river or stream – it happens simply because there is nowhere else for the rainwater to go. Risk ratings are measured as:
High Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 30 (3.3%) in any one year.
Medium Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 100 (1.0%) in any one year.
Low Risk - an area which has a chance of flooding of greater than 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.
Very Low Risk - an area in which the risk is below 1 in 1000 (0.1%) in any one year.

Council Tax pays for multiple services in the property's local authority with only part of it going to the council itself. Residences within a Parish or Town Council area have an additional charge to fund the body. Each parish/town council has a different budget and imposes different fees. Not all councils have parishes/town councils and this varies across the country.

In instances where parish/town councils do affect the council tax value and we do not have the exact figure, we present council tax data with the below highlights. Take care to confirm which is being presented by the dashboard as this will need to be made clear to your clients:

avg - When we indicate the Council Tax price is 'avg', it means we have not been able to obtain an exact figure, so this number represents the mean value of Council Tax across the council for that property band. The exact figure will be slightly higher or lower because each parish/town council is priced differently.

min - When we indicate the Council Tax is a 'min', it represents the known amount that the council sets for itself, but excludes the parish/town council cost which we have not been able to obtain. The additional cost will need to be considered as it will be greater than the indicated price.
