Summary - 3 POUNDS FARM COTTAGES EAST GARSTON HUNGERFORD RG17 7HU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Substantial period cottage on large plot — needs updating, great rural location.
Thatched detached cottage with original period character
Set on an elevated plot in the Berkshire Downs, this thatched detached cottage blends period charm with generous living space. The house offers four good-sized bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room arranged over multiple levels — ideal for family life or flexible holiday use. Mature gardens, paddocks views and extensive parking with a detached timber garage and adjoining workshop/gym provide useful outdoor and ancillary space.
The property requires refurbishment and updating throughout, presenting a clear opportunity to add contemporary finishes and improve energy performance. The home runs on oil-fired central heating and has an EPC rating of D; the thatched roof and older services will require specialist maintenance and should be budgeted for. Private water and drainage are in place.
Location is a major strength: East Garston is a thriving village with local amenities, footpaths and a well-reviewed pub, while Hungerford and Newbury are within comfortable driving distance. Mainline stations to London Paddington and the M4 (J14) are nearby, making the cottage suitable for countryside-based families who still need commuter links.
For buyers seeking period character and a substantial plot, this cottage offers scope to create a comfortable modern home while retaining original features. Note the renovation requirement and ongoing maintenance responsibilities associated with an older, thatched property when assessing budgets and timelines.
