A picture-perfect Grade II thatched cottage dating from the 18th century, set on a large plot in the heart of Shrivenham. The house combines original stonework, exposed beams and low ceilings with updated kitchen and bathroom fittings, ready for immediate occupation with no onward chain.
Inside, the layout delivers versatile living across multiple levels: a full-depth living room, separate dining room, kitchen/breakfast room opening to a conservatory, and two double bedrooms upstairs — the principal bedroom with a bespoke walk-in dressing area. Rooms are cosy rather than grand, reflecting characterful proportions and sloped ceilings.
Outside, the private, landscaped garden and stone patio provide a sheltered spot for sunny afternoons, while a generous gravel driveway offers off-street parking. The cottage sits in a thriving village with primary schools, local shops and good road and rail links to Swindon and Oxford.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves charm but limits alterations and can increase repair costs. Thatched roofing and historic fabric require ongoing maintenance; some rooms have low ceilings and the house may not suit those needing fully accessible, modern proportions. Tenure details are not provided and should be checked during purchase.
