Charming Grade II thatched cottage with parking, garden and village location — ideal first buy or holiday retreat.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with abundant period character
Steeped in character, this Grade II listed thatched cottage dates back over four centuries and sits on a quiet lane in the heart of Shrivenham. The house offers a cosy sitting room with exposed beams and a brick fireplace, a compact fitted kitchen with twin Velux windows, a ground-floor shower room and a double bedroom with built-in eaves storage. A small westerly front garden provides a lawn, seating and paved parking for two cars — useful in a village setting.
The property suits a first-time buyer, holiday-let investor or someone seeking a lock-up-and-leave country base. Its 590 sq ft layout is traditional and compact; the rooms are intimate, with lower ceilings in places and a cosy atmosphere that many buyers of period cottages seek. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband support home working or short-let use.
Buyers should note the listing status: Grade II listing brings extra responsibilities and can restrict alterations and modernisation. The cottage is EPC exempt for listed status purposes; any energy works require listed-building consent. The plot is small and the interior will feel snug — renovation potential exists but will be constrained by the listed designation and traditional construction.
Overall this is a characterful, well-located single-bedroom cottage offering immediate charm and convenient parking, but it is best for purchasers comfortable with historic buildings and the limits they impose.
