Summary - Oare, Wiltshire, SN8 4JA SN8 4JA
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Spacious four‑bed character home with large south garden and recent essential upgrades..
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original period features
This Grade II listed thatched cottage offers almost 2,500 sq ft of character-filled living in the pretty village of Oare. Extensive recent works — new thatch, new oil tank, new electrics and upgraded central heating — mean the house is largely move-in ready while retaining original features such as exposed beams, a large brick fireplace and a vaulted cellar.
Accommodation is versatile: a large lounge with wood-burning stove, generous kitchen/dining extension with garden views, a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite and three double bedrooms upstairs. The south-facing garden, raised deck and private driveway with garage add practical family conveniences and excellent outdoor space.
Buyers should note material considerations linked to the property’s age and listing. Grade II status means alterations are controlled and could complicate future changes. The cottage’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated and the oil-fired boiler can be more expensive than mains gas. Council Tax sits in Band E, above average for the area.
Ideal for families or those seeking a spacious period home in an affluent, rural community, this house combines historic charm with recent essential upgrades. It suits buyers who value character and garden space and who understand the responsibilities of owning a listed, older property.
