A charming Grade II listed thatched cottage on Shrivenham High Street, arranged over three floors and packed with period features. The house retains exposed beams, an Inglenook fireplace, window seat and original wooden doors, giving immediate character and a warm, lived-in feel.
The property sits on a large westerly-facing rear garden with gated vehicular access, off-street parking, a brick outbuilding and garden shed — rare for a cottage of this type. The ground floor provides a living room with fireplace, a dining room with French doors to the garden and a fitted kitchen. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a family bathroom, with a vaulted third bedroom on the top floor overlooking the garden.
This home requires modernisation and will benefit from updating throughout; there is scope to reconfigure or extend subject to planning permission. Prospective buyers should note the Grade II listed status, which will restrict some alterations and can add cost and complexity to renovations. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, making it straightforward to buy once terms are agreed.
Ideal for a family or buyer seeking a characterful project in a very affluent, well-served village location — good primary schools nearby, fast broadband and strong mobile signal. The large garden and outbuildings offer substantial potential for landscaping, parking improvements or sympathetic extension, subject to listed-building and planning consents.
