This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends 17th-century character with flexible family living. With five bedrooms, four reception rooms and 2,775 sq ft, the house offers plenty of space for daily family life and entertaining. The separate first-floor annexe, with private access, suits guests, older children or occasional rental income.
Period features are a strong asset: exposed Tudor beams, an Inglenook fireplace, low ceilings and original woodwork create a cosy, historic atmosphere. The southeast-facing sheltered terrace with built-in gas firepit and the mature lawned garden with fruit trees provide excellent outdoor entertaining and child-friendly spaces. A gravel driveway and large two-car garage add useful parking and storage.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate certain renovations; the thatched roof and historic fabric will require specialist maintenance. Heating is oil-fired, so running costs and future servicing should be factored in. Council tax is described as quite expensive.
Situated in the popular village of Eastbury in the Lambourn Valley, the house is within easy reach of local pubs, church and countryside walks. Good primary schools are nearby and road links to the M4 (J14 about five miles) make rail and commuter travel to London achievable. Overall, this home suits a family seeking character and space who are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and ongoing upkeep.
