Poplar Lane, Hurst, Reading, RG10

Parkers Prestige - A characterful Grade II listed thatched cottage built circa 1600 with countryside views.

White Rose Cottage is a beautiful, Grade II listed cottage located in the poplar Berkshire Village of Hurst. Tucked away down Poplar Lane, the cottage is undisturbed with countryside views to the front and rear while still offering convenient access to Twyford Train Station and village and St. Nicholas Primary School.

Bursting with character and original features throughout, the property is filled with history. Once a place of solace during WWII, a backdrop for 1947’s Nicholas Nickleby, and still home to a hand-painted gift from a grateful wartime survivor—White Rose Cottage holds stories as timeless as the home itself.

An entrance hallway greets you where you will find a cloakroom and plenty of space for coats and shoes. The kitchen offers views overlooking the rear garden as well as built in appliances and a farmhouse sink. You will notice original wooden beams throughout, starting in the dining room which is ideal for entertaining and the study provides a quiet space for working from home. The ground floor is finished with a spacious lounge which benefits from a log burning and doors opening to the garden.

Upstairs you will find two double bedrooms along with a single bedroom and a family bathroom with a free-standing bath.

The garden is a true highlight of this beautiful cottage. On a plot of 0.35 landscaped acres, the rear garden is a place to relax and take in the peaceful countryside. With summer around the corner, the entertaining area with gazebo and an outhouse is a fantastic space for entertaining friends and family. Further benefits include a double garage, stables and a further store room. There is also a veg patch at the rear for growing your own fruit and veg. There is also driveway parking to the front, along with an additional front garden.

Viewings are highly recommended.
