The ideal village home, Thatch Cottage is a truly charming Grade II-listed cottage in a prime setting at the heart of this warm and welcoming community. The cottage is believed to be mid-16th century, later altered and more recently renovated during the course of the current ownership, to a high standard including cosmetic decoration throughout, new and/or refurbished doors through the majority of the home and a bespoke handmade kitchen to fit the space. The modern décor complements the original character, which includes wood floors, exposed beams and brick detailing. It is beautifully presented and can be easily personalised, thanks to its mostly neutral colour scheme. The accommodation comprises a dining room, separate sitting room with open fire, a kitchen/breakfast room and a cloakroom with WC on the ground floor. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and shower.

Thatch Cottage is set within a deceptively generous plot in the centre of the village, opposite the highly regarded pub, The Shurlock Inn. A charming first impression is afforded by the white picket fence that surrounds the house, enclosing the gravel driveway and the detached garage. To the rear, the expansive gardens extend a good distance back from the house and comprise lawns, a paved terrace, a seating area with a pergola and an area of ‘rewilding’ meadow dotted with mature trees. The garden backs onto open countryside, over which there are lovely views. Within the garden there is a detached annexe with kitchen/living area, an adjoining shower room and store, which would make a great home office, studio or gym.

Situation

At the heart of the Thames Valley, Shurlock Row is a charming village within easy reach of Maidenhead and Twyford, as well as Reading with its extensive shopping and amenities. The village is also home to the well-regarded pub and country pursuits are locally very popular including extensive trails for walking, cycling and horse riding, racing at Windsor and Ascot, and watersports on the river Thames. There are a number of highly regarded schools in the area in both the state and independent sectors. The M4 motorway can be accessed at junctions 8/9 and 10, linking to the M25, Heathrow and Gatwick airports and the wider motorway network. Direct and regular rail services to London are available from Twyford (3.3 miles) on both the mainline and via the Elizabeth Line. Property Ref Number: HAM-56816
