A 400-year-old unlisted thatched cottage, privately tucked away behind gates in central RG6—full of charm, space, and potential. Secluded grounds, incredible privacy, yet moments from local amenities.

Nestled in a quiet, tucked-away setting in central RG6, this exceptional 400-year-old, unlisted thatched cottage offers a rare blend of heritage charm, modern comfort, and complete privacy.

Hidden behind secure wrought iron gates and approached via a long private driveway, The Thatched Cottage makes an immediate impression. The generous forecourt opens out to reveal a substantial detached double garage—ideal for vehicles, storage, or future conversion (STPP).

Inside, the home is full of character yet completely liveable. Exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and leaded windows showcase the property's age, while thoughtful updates add everyday ease.

There are four bedrooms in total—two on the ground floor and two on the first floor, accessed via a single staircase. The upstairs rooms include a stunning vaulted double with bespoke built-in storage and a unique loft-style suite with exposed timbers and a tranquil, tucked-away feel. The ground floor bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, home working, or multigenerational living.

The kitchen/breakfast room is a real standout—triple-aspect with views over the garden, solid oak cabinetry, and a breakfast bar that brings warmth and practicality. The updated bathroom features a walk-in rainfall shower, twin vanity, and slate-effect tiling—blending modern style with rustic charm.

Step outside and you're surrounded by greenery and calm. A flagstone terrace, expansive lawn, and mature planting create a secret garden feel—ideal for quiet mornings or entertaining friends. The sense of seclusion is rare, yet you’re only minutes from Reading town centre, local amenities, respected schools, and excellent transport links.
