BRAND NEW THATCH

The Thatched Oven. Located in Great Paxton is this quintessentially British, Grade II listed, three-bedroom thatched cottage. First mentioned in the Doomsday Book the cottage originally built as a farmhouse, dates to circa 1640. Centrally located, Great Paxton has plenty to offer with a local Primary school, pub and community shop run by residents of the village. The current vendor fell in love with the character and charm the property offers. You could easily call it a cottage of four seasons with beautiful, landscaped gardens, home to a protected newt pond, over thirty different types of roses, three apple trees and it comes alive even more so at Christmas time.
