A Hidden Gem in the Heart of High Wych, Characterful Grade II Listed Thatched Cottage with Stunning Gardens Tucked away in a wonderfully private and secluded setting at the heart of High Wych, this beautiful three-bedroom thatched cottage offers a rare blend of historic character and modern comfort. Surrounded by mature landscaped gardens filled with seasonal colour, established trees, and multiple sun-drenched and shaded seating areas, this home is a true countryside retreat. Approached through the enchanting garden, the entrance leads into a light-filled porch overlooking the ground, a practical space to store coats and shoes. The porch splits into two wings: to the left, you’ll find a beautifully styled shaker kitchen with modern appliances including an oven with hob, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge. Beyond the kitchen is the ground floor family bathroom, with a handheld shower and additional storage area. The other wing opens into a charming double-aspect dining room, complete with exposed beams and a feature fireplace that can be converted back to an open fire if desired. From here, a character staircase leads to the second and third bedrooms, both brimming with charm and period quirks such as crooked floors and secondary-glazed windows. Returning to the main level, the dining area flows into what was once the village cobbler’s workshop, now a generous study space with exposed beams and garden views. This then opens into the most recent addition to the home: a bright and spacious sitting room added around 1970, featuring a large bay window, large picture window, and serene garden outlooks. This space also provides access to a second shower room and an airing cupboard. From the sitting room, a staircase leads to the principal bedroom, which enjoys open countryside views and built-in wardrobes. Subject to the usual permissions, there is scope to add an ensuite bathroom here. This home also benefits from a resin driveway with space for up to four vehicles and an original garage, now mainly used for storage. Gas central heating with radiators and water softener and on the mains drainage.  Beyond the charm of the property itself lies the wonderful community of High Wych, a picturesque village known for its welcoming atmosphere and close-knit spirit. The annual High Wych Scarecrow Festival is a highlight of the calendar, bringing neighbours together in a celebration of creativity, humour, and tradition, with families strolling through the village to admire the handmade displays. It’s this sense of belonging that makes living here feel so special. VIDEO TOUR Please take a look at the full property introduction tour with commentary. WOULD YOU LIKE TO VIEW?
