Forge Cottage is a rare Grade II listed thatched home set in a desirable village location, combining authentic period character with practical spaces for modern life. The main house provides four bedrooms and two bathrooms across an adaptable 1,837 sq ft footprint, with exposed beams, a cosy wood burner and a well-equipped kitchen. A self-contained annex with its own kitchen and shower room offers flexible use as guest accommodation, home office or potential rental income.
The property sits on a large plot with a tiered, private rear garden and gated off-street parking. Practical utilities include gas central heating, mains water, mains electricity and mains drainage. Connectivity is strong for a rural location, with standard to superfast broadband available and good mobile coverage from major providers. Flood risk is low for the postcode.
Important buyer information: the house is Grade II listed, which preserves many period features but may restrict alterations and require listed-building consent for works. The thatch has been fully re-thatched in spring 2025, reducing immediate roof maintenance, but thatched properties carry higher ongoing upkeep and specific insurance considerations. Prospective purchasers should check any covenants or easements and be prepared for specialist maintenance and planning requirements associated with listed status.
This cottage will suit buyers who value countryside character and village life—families seeking nearby schools and amenities, or downsizers wanting single-level annex options. Its combination of charm, flexible accommodation and a large garden make it a distinctive, long-term home in a very affluent, low-crime area, close to Didcot Parkway for commuter connections.
