Little Cottage is a handsome mid-1800s semi-detached cottage, recently and sympathetically refurbished to combine period charm with contemporary fittings. The house offers two double bedrooms, a sitting room with a new woodburner and a shaker-style kitchen/breakfast room opening onto a sunny terrace. Its mature part-walled rear garden and sizeable plot create a peaceful, private setting ideal for family outdoor time.
Practical benefits include off-street parking, a utility room, an outbuilding for storage and easy access to Pangbourne (walking distance) with fast rail links to Reading and London. The village setting in a conservation area sits beside riverside and Chilterns walks, excellent local primary schools and low local crime — attractive for families seeking village life with commuter convenience.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property has solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation and an Energy Performance Rating of E/52, so further insulation or energy upgrades may be required. There is a single shower room and modest overall floor area (approx. 764 sq ft), so it suits those wanting a cosy family home rather than larger household space. Conservation area status may restrict some external alterations.
Overall, the cottage offers characterful, ready-to-enjoy accommodation with genuine village appeal and scope for targeted energy and comfort improvements — a well-located home for families or downsizers wanting a quiet riverside community with good transport links.
