Property description
A substantial and historic listed (grade II) cottage with a wealth of character features and potential to easily create an annexe. Unusually for a property of this type, there is a garage and plenty of off-street parking and a lovely part-walled southerly garden with an ancient wisteria that provides a lovely setting. The centre of Pangbourne is just a moment‘s walk away, as is the railway station. 4/5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. EPC Rating E.
LOCAL INFORMATION Pangbourne is an exceptionally pleasant and well supported village. Standing on the south side of the River Thames where it meets the Pang, Pangbourne lies between rolling Berkshire Downland to the South and the start of the Chiltern Hills to the North. This thriving and active village is a focal point for the surrounding countryside and offers superb transport links with fast mainline railway service to Reading and London Paddington, and J12 of the M4 being only a short drive away. As well as several award winning independent shops, Pangbourne has excellent schools, both in the private and the state sector, a large modern Health and Medical Centre, riverside pubs and restaurants. There are excellent sporting and leisure facilities and an active community with its own village magazine, and many societies and associations. There are many country and riverside walks, with public footpaths and bridle ways giving access to miles of open countryside and the beautiful beech woods of the Chiltern Hills.
GROUND FLOOR ACCOMMODATION Entrance hall with bar area, impressive sitting room with substantial fireplace, second reception room with staircase leading to main area of first floor, large kitchen/dining room, third reception room with staircase to bedroom one, second kitchen or utility room, ground floor bathroom.
Annexe potential: the third reception room, second kitchen, ground floor bathroom and bedroom 1 on the first floor could easily be a self-contained annexe with its own access from outside to a lobby.
FIRST FLOOR ACCOMMODATION Very large landing which could easily be split to create a fifth bedroom, three further bedrooms off this landing, bathroom (en suite to bedroom 2) and separate shower room. There is an additional large bedroom accessed from the second staircase from which there is also a low doorway (through a cupboard) to the second bedroom.
OUTSIDE SPACE Whilst the property has a pedestrian door opening onto the pavement on Pangbourne Hill, the main access is from Tidmarsh Road via double gates and a pedestrian gate which provide a good degree of privacy.
The part-walled GARDEN is southerly facing and a real sun trap. It measures about 69ft (21m) wide x 48ft (14.5m) deep and has a variety of areas of shrubs, beds and terraces. An ancient wisteria is a particular feature.
The above dimensions include a large driveway with parking area and a DETACHED GARAGE.
