Summary - RAILWAY COTTAGE, COOMBE ROAD RG20 6RQ
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Characterful two-bedroom cottage in AONB with garden and garage, ripe for renovation.
Two double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes
Railway Cottage is a compact, characterful two-bedroom detached cottage sitting in the Berkshire Downlands AONB. The property offers a south‑east facing lawned garden, detached single garage and two reception rooms, making it a practical home for first-time buyers or those seeking a rural base with strong commuter links.
The house requires further renovation: the property has solid brick walls (likely uninsulated), an oil-fired boiler with radiators, a septic tank drainage system and an Energy Performance Rating of E/46. Some windows have been replaced with UPVC double glazing, but overall the cottage would benefit from insulation, modern heating upgrades and general refurbishment to improve comfort and running costs.
Externally the garden provides private outdoor space and mature hedging; the detached garage adds useful storage or parking. Location is a major selling point — quiet village setting with countryside views, nearby Ridgeway access and fast rail connections to London from local stations under the hour.
Taken as a whole, this freehold cottage is best for buyers prepared to invest in sympathetic modernisation to unlock its full potential. The property’s traditional character, commuter convenience and south‑east garden create clear scope for value uplift once renovation and energy-efficiency works are completed.
