Summary - MILTON COTTAGE THE HAMLET GALLOWSTREE COMMON READING RG4 9BU
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Renovated three-bed cottage with garden, workshop and rural convenience for families.
Believed to be circa 200 years old, full of original character
Milton Cottage is a sympathetically renovated period home set in a secluded plot in The Hamlet, Gallowstree Common. The house retains authentic character — exposed beams, timber doors with cast-iron latches and an open fireplace — while offering modern comforts such as gas central heating, double glazing and a reconfigured kitchen/breakfast room with vaulted ceiling and skylight.
The layout works well for family life: a dual-aspect sitting room, spacious kitchen/dining with twin doors to the garden, a handy utility/boot room and study provide flexible ground-floor living. Upstairs are three double bedrooms (one with vaulted ceiling) and a four-piece bathroom. A separate timber workshop offers scope as a home office or creative space.
Outside, the private sunny garden is enclosed by brick and flint walling and mature hedging, and a gravel drive provides off-street parking. The setting is rural yet well connected — approximately six miles from both Reading and Henley-on-Thames, with good schools nearby and fast rail links into London.
Important practical notes: the property uses a shared private septic tank, the building has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), and the EPC is D. There is a single family bathroom. These are factual considerations for running costs and any future improvements.
