Summary - DUKESFIELD COTTAGE NORTON ROAD RISELEY READING RG7 1SH
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Period charm and modern living on half an acre in Riseley.
Circa 1756 thatched cottage, fully renovated and extended in 2021
Dukesfield Cottage is a beautifully restored thatched family home marrying period charm with contemporary living. The house was carefully renovated and extended in 2021, creating generous, light-filled living spaces, a high-spec Miele kitchen with waterfall stone island, and pillarless bi-fold doors that open onto a large, private garden. The principal suite is a triple-aspect retreat and the ground floor includes a large bedroom with en-suite, making the layout flexible for guests or multi-generational living.
Set on about half an acre, the plot delivers extensive outside space, landscaped borders, a wrap-around patio, double garage with workshop and a summer house with sauna. The whole ground floor benefits from underfloor heating for consistent comfort, and the character thatched roof and exposed brick features retain strong historic appeal.
Buyers should note this is a thatched property with the associated maintenance responsibilities and insurance implications. Heating is oil-fired with radiators upstairs, which may be less convenient or more costly than mains gas alternatives. Broadband speeds are reported slow — important for home-working — and the double glazing predates 2002 and may require eventual upgrading.
This home will suit families or buyers seeking a countryside base within reach of Reading and Basingstoke, with good road links and well-regarded independent schools nearby. It presents an immediate move-in option with opportunities to personalise further while enjoying generous private grounds and high-quality contemporary fittings throughout.
