Summary - Wolverton Lane, Wolverton RG26 5SX RG26 5SX
4 bed 3 bath Cottage
Grade II thatched cottage with separate one-bed annexe and nearly an acre of gardens.
Grade II listed thatched cottage — listing restricts alterations
A picture-perfect Grade II listed thatched cottage set in just under an acre of private gardens, tucked down a quiet no-through lane with open farmland views. The main house (three bedrooms, two refitted bathrooms) is beautifully presented throughout with exposed beams, a refitted open-plan kitchen/diner and four reception rooms that suit family living or entertaining. A self-contained attached one-bedroom cottage with its own title provides flexible accommodation for guests, older children or rental income.
Practical strengths include a recent re-thatch (approx. 8 years ago), refitted kitchens and bathrooms, a detached double garage, ample driveway parking and large ancillary sheds for storage. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and the location gives easy access to Newbury, Basingstoke and Reading, plus mainline stations to London; several reputable independent and state schools are within a short drive.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and require listed-building consents for many changes. Thatched roofing and the outbuildings will need ongoing specialist maintenance, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The two cottages are on separate titles but are being sold together — this arrangement may affect mortgage or legal processes.
Overall, this is a rare countryside home for a family seeking character, space and privacy, or for a buyer wanting a large period property with an income or annexe opportunity. The combination of substantial gardens, multiple reception rooms and separate living quarters makes it a standout country estate — provided you accept the responsibilities that come with a listed, thatched property.
