Characterful three-bed cottage with south-westerly garden in sought-after Ramsbury.
Grade II listed cottage — restrictions and potential maintenance costs
Tucked on a peaceful Ramsbury lane, this Grade II listed three-bedroom cottage blends traditional thatched charm with practical village living. The dual-aspect sitting room with a gas stove and a fitted kitchen/breakfast room provide comfortable day-to-day space, while a study with direct garden access adds flexible workspace for home life.
Upstairs, the main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower; two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the sleeping accommodation. Outside, a private south-westerly garden with terrace and mature planting offers a sheltered outdoor room, and a single off-street parking space sits to the front of the house.
Important practical points are clear: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance. The property dates from before 1900 with solid brick walls (assumed no insulation), an EPC rating of D and a thatched roof—ongoing specialist upkeep and potential improvement work should be expected. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is high. For buyers seeking character in a very desirable village with outstanding primary schools, this cottage offers rare atmosphere and long-term potential, provided the listed constraints and maintenance needs are accepted.
