This quirky light-filled C2-rated home started life as a quaint thatched cottage dating from 1899, which was extended and modernised in 2006 to give a four-bedroom house extending to 199sq m (2,142 sq ft). Sitting on 0.4 of an acre, the property has two stoves, a tree house and polytunnels for self-sufficiency.
