Summary - 7 LONGCOT ROAD SHRIVENHAM SWINDON SN6 8AL
2 bed 2 bath Cottage
Character-filled village home with large garden and flexible outbuildings.
Grade II Listed chocolate-box thatched cottage with period features
A chocolate-box Grade II Listed thatched cottage tucked a short walk from Shrivenham High Street. The house marries unmistakable period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and a cosy principal bedroom — with a thoughtful ground-floor extension and contemporary fittings. Underfloor heating runs through the extension and the kitchen has been refitted, making day-to-day living comfortable.
The extended ground floor offers a flexible second bedroom with ensuite, a well-appointed kitchen with pantry and a spacious lounge that retains historic charm. Upstairs the principal bedroom provides built-in storage and a neat bathroom; the loft is boarded and accessible for extra storage. Mains services and gas central heating are in place.
Outside, this property benefits from the largest rear garden on the row. The plot includes a summer house, workshop, studio and a pizza oven — useful for entertaining, hobbies or a home workspace. Thatched roof renewal is already arranged and paid for by the current owner, reducing immediate major-cost uncertainty.
Practical downsides to note: Listed status means care and consents are required for alterations, which can complicate future changes. The cottage is mid-terrace with on-street parking only and the building’s cavity walls are assumed uninsulated, so further energy-efficiency work may be advisable. Overall, this is a character-rich, recently updated village cottage well suited to buyers downsizing or seeking a picturesque main residence with flexible ancillary space.
