This 400-year-old, unlisted thatched cottage is a rare gem, offering a unique blend of heritage charm and modern comfort. Nestled in a quiet, secluded setting, the property is hidden behind secure wrought iron gates and approached via a long private driveway. Inside, the home boasts exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and leaded windows, showcasing its age, while thoughtful updates add everyday ease. The four bedrooms, including a stunning vaulted double and a tranquil loft-style suite, offer flexibility for guests, home working, or multigenerational living. The kitchen/breakfast room is a highlight, with triple-aspect views, solid oak cabinetry, and a breakfast bar. The updated bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower and slate-effect tiling. The property's secluded garden, with flagstone terrace, expansive lawn, and mature planting, creates a peaceful oasis, yet it's just minutes from Reading town centre and local amenities.
