A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage set in the heart of Shrivenham, this one-bedroom home with a versatile loft room delivers genuine character and a mature cottage garden. Period features and an inglenook-style reception create a cosy living space, while a kitchen/diner opens directly onto a private garden with fruit trees and patio seating.
Practical comforts include gas central heating, double glazing, and a scheduled thatch renewal already paid for, reducing immediate major expenditure. The loft room adds flexible space for a study or guest sleeping area, making the layout useful for a single occupant or couple seeking village living.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: alterations will be restricted and maintenance can be specialist and more costly. The cottage has low ceilings and small room sizes typical of its age, a small plot, and on-street parking only. Cavity walls were built without insulation (assumed), so energy upgrades may be limited by listing constraints.
Positioned a short stroll from Shrivenham’s shops, cafés and pubs, this is well suited to someone looking to downsize into a characterful village home with scope to personalise within listed guidelines. The paid-for thatch renewal and mature garden are immediate benefits; further modernisation should be planned with conservation requirements in mind.
