DESCRIPTION
Occupying a prime position in the heart of Thatcham, Rooftops is a stunning three-bedroom detached period cottage that has been thoughtfully extended and refurbished to an exceptional standard. The property retains its historic character, including a charming dining room with original beams and a fireplace that once housed a bread oven, while introducing striking contemporary elements.
The original layout has been enhanced by a substantial rear extension, creating a spacious, light-filled open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. This impressive space is centred around a modern log burner and features expansive bi-fold doors that open directly onto the private rear garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
A standout feature of the refurbishment is the magnificent roof terrace positioned above the extension. Accessed via an external staircase with secure railings, this elevated space offers a unique outlook over the grounds and provides an ideal setting for relaxation or entertaining.
The first floor offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom features vaulted ceilings and exposed beams. The family bathroom has been tastefully updated.
OUTSIDE
The property enjoys a south-facing private garden, well-screened by mature trees and hedging. A gated sweeping driveway provides ample parking. There is a large outbuilding, currently used as a home gym with a separate utility area, which offers potential for further development, subject to the necessary consents. The outbuilding also contains a cellar that would require updating before it can be brought into use.
SERVICES AND MATERIAL INFORMATION
All mains services are connected. The property operates on gas fired central heating and benefits from double glazing.
