Set in a picturesque village lane in Aldbourne, this Grade II listed thatched cottage blends period character with contemporary comfort. The ground floor offers a cosy sitting room with exposed beams and a fireplace, plus a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area with granite worktops, built-in speakers and bi-fold doors opening to the rear garden — an ideal family hub. Underfloor heating to the kitchen/dining area and a smart thermostat add modern convenience.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and a large, recently refitted bathroom with a walk-in shower and separate bath. A separate shower room off the landing and a useful hall/study provide flexible space for guests or home working. Externally the property benefits from a decent plot with tiered patio and lawn, elevated village views, a detached garage/workshop and off-street parking.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed and thatch requires specialist maintenance and appropriate insurance, which may restrict some alterations and add ongoing costs. The cottage’s character includes lower ceiling heights in places; buyers should consider these features when planning alterations or accessibility needs. Council Tax Band E reflects above-average local charges.
Overall, this well-presented terraced cottage will suit buyers seeking village character with modern finishes — particularly small families or downsizers who value proximity to schools, shops and countryside walking routes. Interested parties should verify services and measurements independently and allow for age-related maintenance associated with a thatched, listed home.
