Beautifully restored thatched cottage with large gardens and countryside views.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong period character
Cruck House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed thatched cottage, recently modernised to combine period character with contemporary comforts. The interior shows careful restoration: exposed beams, wide 17th‑century oak floorboards, reclaimed radiators and a hand-built kitchen that retains traditional craftsmanship while providing everyday functionality. The house sits in a very large, well-established garden of about 0.35 acre with far-reaching views across the Wessex Downs — an attractive setting for family life and entertaining.
Located in the sought-after village of Shalbourne, the property offers quiet rural living with local amenities close by — pub, village shop and recreational clubs — and good access to Hungerford, Great Bedwyn and Marlborough for trains and schools. The garage and a useful outbuilding add practical storage or workshop space, and the low local crime and affluent setting make this a comfortable country home.
Buyers should note the material constraints that come with a Listed Grade II, thatched property: any alterations or maintenance to historic fabric will require listed-building consents and specialist contractors. Thatched roofs also carry higher running and insurance considerations and need periodic specialist upkeep. Broadband and mobile signal are average, so those needing high-speed connectivity should check specific service options. Council tax band is not provided and should be confirmed before purchase.
Overall this is a move‑in ready, characterful family home for buyers seeking a handsome rural cottage with excellent gardens and views, who are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed, thatched building.
