Set on the edge of Silchester Common, this detached three-bedroom cottage balances period character with practical modern updates. A spacious living room, versatile dining/office room with an open fireplace and a contemporary kitchen with oak worktops give everyday family life plenty of comfortable space. The enclosed rear garden, patio, shed and a powered outbuilding currently used as a home office extend living outdoors and suit home-working or hobby use.
Practical advantages include off-road parking for several cars, gas central heating and double glazing. Local transport links via Mortimer station and nearby good primary and secondary schools make the location family-friendly while walks through Pamber Forest and the Roman wall at Silchester add semi-rural appeal. The plot is described as decent in size and offers privacy and mature planting.
Buyers should note the house is an older build (pre-1900) with solid brick walls that likely lack cavity insulation, and the EPC rating is modest (EER D). There is a single family bathroom, and council tax is band E (above average). The title is under review for covenants or restrictions — details will be available on request and should be checked before exchange.
Overall this property suits families seeking a character home close to countryside walks and good schools, or purchasers wanting a ready-to-live-in house with potential to improve energy performance and add value through targeted refurbishment.
