Description

Available for the first time in more than three decades, this enchanting thatched cottage enjoys a tucked away position along a quiet lane beside the village church in the sought-after village of Peasemore, offering beautifully presented and versatile accommodation, delightful gardens and wonderful views across adjoining countryside.

Occupying an enviable position in the heart of this desirable Berkshire village, this characterful attached period home combines a wealth of charm with flexible family living.

The accommodation is arranged over two floors and offers excellent versatility.

Predominantly laid to lawn with mature planting and established boundaries, the gardens provide a wonderful setting for both relaxation and entertaining.
