A Grade II listed thatched cottage thoughtfully updated to balance period character with contemporary comfort. The house offers exposed beams, a welcoming fireplace in the sitting room and a large, open-plan kitchen/dining area with granite worktops, stone flooring and bi-folding doors that connect living space to the garden. Underfloor heating to the kitchen/dining and a smart thermostat add modern convenience.
The layout suits downsizers or couples seeking village living: two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a generously refitted bathroom with separate bath and large walk-in shower, plus an additional shower room off the landing. Practical spaces include a utility room, downstairs cloakroom and a reception hall with room for a desk or study area.
Outside there is tiered rear garden with patio, lawn and greenhouse, plus a substantial detached garage/workshop and concrete hardstanding for parking. The property lies in the heart of Aldbourne with easy access to local shops, a primary school rated Outstanding, community facilities and good road links to Marlborough and the M4.
Buyers should note the material drawbacks: the listed status will affect future works and may add complexity and cost for alterations; thatched roofing typically requires specific maintenance and insurance considerations. Low cottage ceilings and some age-related features remain part of the character. All services and fittings should be independently checked.
