Thatchers Cottage is a traditional brick-and-flint period home set on the edge of Crocker End, overlooking the village green. The house retains original features — exposed oak beams, a large inglenook fireplace and generous ceiling heights — creating warm, characterful living spaces. The main sitting room extends to 28ft with bay windows and double doors to the dining room, while most rooms enjoy pleasant green or garden views.
The plot is a standout: a pretty, well-planted cottage garden to the west leads round to a sun terrace and a maintained swimming pool. There is a timber garage, gravel parking for 2–3 cars and useful outbuildings, one housing the pool heat pump. Accommodation is flexible with 3 double bedrooms upstairs plus a ground-floor garden room/study that can serve as an occasional fourth bedroom; there are three bathrooms in total.
Practical matters to note: the house is oil‑heated with a boiler and radiators, the external granite/flint walls are believed to be uninsulated, the EPC is F and broadband speeds are slow. These factors mean buyers should budget for energy upgrades and possible modernisation. Council Tax sits in Band F.
Situated within half a mile of Nettlebed, the cottage benefits from village amenities, good local schools and easy access to Henley-on-Thames. This home will suit buyers seeking a period rural property with scope to improve energy performance and add value while enjoying mature gardens, privacy and a swimming pool in an attractive Chilterns hamlet.
