Parlour Cottage is a characterful three-bedroom semi-detached cottage set in a peaceful Berkshire village, surrounded by farmland and open views. The principal reception is impressively sized, with exposed beams and a brick fireplace that give the room a warm, traditional feel. A modern U-shaped kitchen and separate utility provide practical daily living space, while skylights and windows bring good natural light.
Upstairs offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and a single bathroom finished in traditional white. Outside there is a decent plot with a fenced garden, mature planting and a private driveway accessed via five-bar gates — useful off-street parking that’s not often found in village locations. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and local primary schools are rated Good, making the house suitable for families wanting countryside life with reliable connectivity.
Notable practical points are clear: there is a service charge of £395.10 per annum and Council Tax at Band E, both of which buyers should factor into running costs. The living room has a lower ceiling in places and some areas reflect the property’s period character rather than contemporary finishes — ideal for buyers who value charm but may wish to update certain elements over time. A viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions and character of this non-estate cottage.
