Summary - WOODMANS COTTAGE, SUN LANE, BASINGSTOKE ROAD, READING, RISELEY RG7 1QR
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Characterful village home with large garden and double garage.
Tudor thatched cottage with exposed beams and leaded windows
A handsome Tudor cottage set on almost 0.6 acres, this four-bedroom home blends genuine period character with family-focused living. Exposed beams, leaded windows and a central brick fireplace create a warm, historic atmosphere across the dual-aspect living room and adjoining dining area. A separate study and ground-floor shower room add practical everyday flexibility for home working and family life.
Outside, the substantial double garage and long shingled drive provide generous parking and storage for vehicles and hobbies. The gardens are predominantly lawn with an orchard, greenhouse, summerhouse and useful outbuildings — ideal for children’s play, horticulture or informal entertaining in a quiet village setting.
The layout includes three first-floor bedrooms and a smaller second-floor bedroom suitable for guests or a home office. This property sits in a very affluent area with excellent mobile signal, easy road links to the M3/M4 and nearby Mortimer station for rail travel. A strong selection of independent schools is close by, adding appeal for families.
Buyers should note a few material factors: the cottage’s low ceilings and period proportions limit some modernisation options, the property has slow broadband speeds, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The thatched, half-timbered construction and mature grounds will need routine, specialist maintenance typical of historic homes. Overall this is a characterful family home with substantial scope outdoors and good local amenities.
