A Rare Slice of English History – A Unique a-Frame Thatched Cottage in the Heart of Prees
Nestled within the sought-after village of Prees, this exceptional a-frame thatched cottage, believed to date back to circa 1650 during the reign of King Charles II, is a truly rare opportunity. With its striking silhouette, exposed beams, and historic Inglenook fireplace, this property is rich in character and charm – a true gem for lovers of period homes.
Set on a substantial and mature plot, the property enjoys an abundance of outdoor space, including a large rear garden with multiple seating areas, a brick-built store, garden shed, static caravan offering flexible use, and a double garage with ample parking for several vehicles.
Internally, the layout is wonderfully flexible. The ground floor features a characterful living room with exposed beams and a traditional Inglenook fire, a study/home office, three bedrooms (one with en-suite shower room), a ground floor bathroom, and an open-plan dining kitchen with plenty of space to entertain.
To the first floor, set beneath a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber beams, are two further large bedrooms in the roof space. Access between the rooms is open, making the second ideal as a dressing room, playroom, or occasional bedroom
While the property would now benefit from some modernisation, it offers immense potential for those looking to create a unique family home in a picturesque village setting, just a short drive from Whitchurch, surrounded by rolling countryside and only a short walk from Prees Primary School with an ofsted rating of Good.
Rarely do properties of this calibre, history, and potential come to market — particularly in such a desirable and well-connected location.
