Character cottage with garden, chain free and good transport links.
Three-bedroom 18th-century country cottage with original character features
A charming 18th-century country cottage set in Padworth Common, offering genuine period character and a private mature garden. The house retains original features such as an inglenook fireplace and traditional windows, creating cosy, characterful living spaces for a small family or couple.
The property is offered chain free and sits within easy reach of the M4 (J12) and nearby rail stations (Aldermaston and Mortimer), making commuting to Reading and beyond straightforward. Local schools rated Good and nearby countryside walks add to the appeal for families who want rural peace with practical links.
Internally the layout is traditional with three bedrooms, one bathroom and about 890 sq ft of accommodation. There is clear potential to reconfigure or modernise, but buyers should expect renovation works to bring services and finishes up to modern standards. The house runs on an oil-fired boiler and has solid brick walls likely without insulation — factor in possible energy-efficiency upgrades.
Practical points to note: council tax is Band E (above average) and tenure details are currently unspecified. Overall this is a characterful cottage with scope to improve energy performance and modern comfort, suited to buyers who value period charm and a substantial garden close to transport links.
