This distinctive thatched cottage, believed to date back to the 16th century, offers a unique blend of historical charm and modern potential. With its character-rich features, including an original bread oven, traditional inglenook fireplaces, and exposed wooden beams, the property is a testament to timeless craftsmanship. The spacious sitting room invites natural light and provides a lovely view of the surrounding garden, while the elegantly designed dining room seamlessly connects to a kitchen equipped with contemporary cabinetry that complements the cottage’s classic aesthetic.
On the first floor, you'll find the principal bedroom complete with an en suite bathroom, along with two additional bedrooms accessible via two separate staircases. This layout not only enhances privacy but also adds versatility to living arrangements.
A notable highlight of this property is its separate annexe at the rear, which serves as excellent guest accommodation featuring an en suite shower room and an open-plan kitchen/living area. This space could also be reimagined or repurposed for different uses or extended for further investment potential.
Outside, the beautifully maintained gardens frame both the front and rear of the property and include ample off-road parking for seven or more vehicles, alongside five garage/carport spaces. The array of outbuildings caters especially well to car enthusiasts or anyone needing additional storage solutions. Additionally, a timber gym with bifold doors offers possibilities for use as a hobby studio or workshop.
With significant outdoor space available on this large plot, there exists considerable potential for expansion or even the development of another residence (subject to obtaining necessary consents). Overall, this property represents not just a home but also an opportunity for future enhancement in a desirable location.
The property benefits from oil-fired central heating and is connected to mains drainage, water, and electricity services. It falls under West Berkshire Council jurisdiction with council tax bands classified as F for the main house and A for the annexe.
