A rare Grade II Listed Tudor cottage offering generous, characterful living in central Pangbourne, moments from the high street and the mainline station to London. Original timber beams, brick fireplaces and a converted cellar study give the house strong period appeal alongside contemporary kitchen fittings and comfortable family rooms. The property sits on a large plot with a sheltered south-facing walled terrace for entertaining plus a long, private rear lawn.
Practical advantages include plentiful gated driveway parking, a full-sized detached garage with an upper level and a separate office/gym at the rear. The garage’s upper floor is already boarded for storage and could be converted further subject to planning permission — a useful opportunity for extra accommodation but not guaranteed. Fast broadband, good mobile signal, and proximity to highly regarded local schools add to everyday convenience for families.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II Listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate any extension or conversion plans. The walls are solid brick and likely lack modern cavity insulation, so heating costs may be higher; council tax is also described as expensive. The kitchen has a lower ceiling and some rooms are characterfully compact, reflecting the age and layout of the house.
This home will suit buyers seeking historic character, generous outdoor space and central village living rather than those wanting a turn-key, extensively remodelled house. For a family wanting atmosphere, scope to personalise and superb village access — this offers a distinctive balance of period charm and practical amenity.
