Summary - EVERINGTON COTTAGE EVERINGTON HILL THATCHAM RG18 0UD
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial period cottage on 0.73 acres — village life with excellent schools and privacy.
Five bedrooms, principal with dressing room and en suite
A substantial five-bedroom period cottage set in almost three quarters of an acre of sheltered Berkshire garden and orchard. The house offers generous, well-proportioned rooms across two floors, high ceilings in places, a recently refurbished Shaker kitchen/breakfast room, a newly created garden room and useful outbuildings including a detached double garage. Electric gates, a gravel drive and mature planting provide privacy and a strong sense of rural seclusion while still being within easy reach of Yattendon village facilities and nearby towns.
This property suits a family seeking space and country lifestyle: large reception rooms (including a 21’ sitting room with open fireplace), a principal bedroom with dressing room, balcony and en suite, plus three further doubles and a single bedroom. The established gardens include formal beds, an orchard with mature apple trees, productive vegetable plots, a pond and a brick/flint barbecue terrace ideal for entertaining. Practical extras include a bore hole water supply, Starlink internet and ample parking.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the cottage has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and an EPC rating of E, with oil-fired central heating and a septic tank drainage system. The property was constructed before 1900 and has been extended over time, so buyers should expect older construction details and the potential for further insulation or energy-efficiency improvement work. Council tax is noted as expensive.
Overall, this is a characterful, sizeable village home offering long-term family comfort and scope to improve energy performance. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value rural privacy, generous outdoor space and proximity to highly regarded local schools, while accepting the maintenance and running-cost realities of an older, oil-heated property.
