Set on a generous 0.39-acre plot in Burghfield Common, this four-bedroom detached thatched cottage blends period character with useful modern upgrades. Recent sympathetic refurbishment and a full re-thatch in 2022 preserve original features while improving longevity. Flexible ground-floor layout includes a cosy sitting room with a wood burner, separate reception, dining room, bar area and a studio ideal for home working.
The established garden and sizeable outbuilding offer excellent outdoor space and storage, while a long gravel driveway and garage provide parking for several vehicles. The property benefits from mains services, gas central heating and reliable broadband and mobile coverage — useful for commuters to Reading, Newbury and Basingstoke.
Buyers should note the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can increase maintenance complexity and costs. The solid brick walls are assumed to lack modern cavity insulation, and the interior includes low ceilings in parts typical of older cottages. Council tax banding is high.
This home will suit a family seeking village living with character and space, or a buyer who values period detail and is prepared to manage listed-building responsibilities. The layout and outbuilding offer scope for adaptable use, subject to listed-building constraints and planning requirements.
