Characterful two-bedroom cottage with garden and rear office, close to village amenities.
Grade II listed thatched cottage dating to c.1600 with strong historic character
A Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Dorchester-on-Thames, this home blends genuine historic character with a quiet cul-de-sac setting. Built around 1600, it retains exposed beams, small-paned windows and period proportions that will appeal to buyers seeking atmosphere and village living. The south-facing garden and elevated views from the main bedroom over orchards and Wittenham Clumps add notable charm.
The layout is compact and practical: an open-plan lounge/diner with a multi-fuel burner, a kitchen to the front, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs. A detached single-storey outbuilding at the rear offers a useful garden store or potential home office. The property is freehold and benefits from central village convenience, nearby primary schooling and good road and rail links to Oxford and Didcot.
Important practical points: the cottage requires updating and renovation throughout, and its listed status will affect alteration scope and costs. Thatched roofs carry specific maintenance and insurance considerations. There is no allocated parking; on-street parking only. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are not guaranteed to be strong in parts, and some internal spaces have lower-than-average ceilings and differing floor levels typical of the period.
For buyers prepared to manage conservation constraints and a renovation project, this cottage offers a rare opportunity to secure a characterful home in a highly desirable, affluent village location. The outbuilding and south garden provide immediate lifestyle benefits and scope to add value with sympathetic updating.
