2 bed cottage for sale

Longcot Road, Shrivenham, Swindon SN6

Tucked away just off Shrivenham’s lively High Street, this picture-perfect Grade II Listed thatched cottage combines all the period charm you would expect with thoughtful modern updates and a cleverly extended ground floor. Inside, the home has been beautifully restored, blending traditional character with contemporary comfort.

The spacious lounge, with its exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and unmistakable heritage feel, flows seamlessly into a well-fitted kitchen and pantry. The extended ground floor-complete with underfloor heating throughout-also offers a flexible second bedroom and a stylish shower room. Upstairs, the principal bedroom provides a cosy retreat, complete with its own bathroom and built-in storage.

One of the cottage’s standout features is its unusually large rear garden for this central location, offering a peaceful setting for entertaining, gardening or simply unwinding outdoors. A workshop, studio and summer house add extra versatility-ideal as a reading nook, home office, or a space to enjoy evenings with friends by the pizza oven.

Practical details have been carefully addressed too: The thatch is scheduled for renewal next summer, already paid for by the current owner. On-street parking is available to the front, and the property sits just a short stroll from Shrivenham’s array of shops, cafés, pubs and local services.

The village itself offers a rich selection of amenities, from everyday essentials such as a post office and gp surgery to leisure highlights including a golf club, St Andrew’s historic church, the Royal Army Chaplains’ Museum and beautiful countryside walks. A new primary school and strong community spirit further add to its appeal.
