Formerly an estate cottage owned by the Yattendon Estate, Butlers Cottage occupies an idyllic rural position, yet close to Pangbourne. The property has been significantly extended and improved by the current owners, who have created a wonderful family home that is awash with light and impeccably presented throughout. Highlights include the large open plan kitchen which is beautifully appointed and includes an electric AGA and a north facing walk in larder. The drawing room connects to an attractive orangery which leads out onto a terrace and the south facing garden. This room makes for an impressive, relaxing and light filled reception room of excellent proportions - a wonderful contrast to the adjoining sitting room with log burner and bookshelves which create a cosy tucked away retreat within the house. The master bedroom suite is superb and includes a stunning and well-appointed master bathroom, a dressing room and sizable bedroom with views over the garden and paddocks beyond.

The large south facing garden is bordered on two sides by neighbouring paddock land and includes a large garden store, which has electricity and is currently used as a children’s playroom and an adjoining home office. Additionally, there is a brick built garden store at the bottom of the garden.

Butlers Cottage is a stylish home in a tranquil rural position that is not remote. It is ideally placed for commuting to London and St. Andrew’s Prep School which is within walking distance to the property.
