Situation

Spring Cottage is situated in the quiet and highly sought after village of East Garston, set within the Berkshire downs. The village has a good local pub and restaurant within walking distance. There is also an active social community, with numerous clubs, teams, events and activities run throughout the year. There is a village hall and club with weekly activities run for all members of the community. The larger market Town of Hungerford is a short drive away. The Town is well served by a variety of shops including butchers, bakers, independent retailers and of course antique shops. Other amenities include two supermarkets, post office, banks and doctors surgery. There is also a swimming pool, sports centre, tennis and bowls clubs. The Property

A beautiful Grade II listed thatched Cottage nestled in the heart of a picturesque downland village with delightful riverside gardens. This lovely period home retains great character and has been sympathetically maintained and upgraded with care and attention to detail evident throughout. Originally two cottages, believed to date back to the 1600’s, the house now offers comfortable accommodation including a dining room with a fireplace housing a Rayburn, a small but high quality kitchen and a sitting room with a large Inglenook fireplace. To the rear of the property is an occasional guest bedroom and a useful utility room with a door out to the garden. There is surprisingly good ceiling height for a cottage of this age and many carefully preserved exposed beams, ceiling and wall timbers. At either end of the cottage there are staircases rising to three/four bedrooms which are served by a re-fitted ground floor bathroom and a separate shower room. In all, a very special cottage with a welcoming atmosphere and wonderful location.

Outside

There is a pretty cottage garden at the front which includes a small lawn with established flower and shrub borders and a neat hedge forms the boundary with the lane. To the side of the cottage a gate leads to the rear garden which includes a lawn, flower beds, vegetable garden and greenhouse.

Riverside Garden

The jewel in the crown of Spring Cottage is undoubtedly the delightful riverside garden. Situated a few short steps across the lane, this garden fronts onto the sparkling chalk stream River . The garden includes well tended lawn interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. There is also a detached single garage and driveway.
