Description


SUMMARY
Charming Grade II listed former headmaster's cottage in popular Shrivenham. Once part of Beckett Home Farm and the Barrington Estate, it offers 3 bedrooms, 2 spacious receptions, a modern kitchen, large garden, garage, and off-road parking. Full of character-early viewing advised.


DESCRIPTION
Steeped in history and full of character, this delightful Grade II listed cottage is nestled in the sought-after village of Shrivenham. Formerly the headmaster's house for the adjoining school, the property was once part of Beckett Home Farm and belonged to the historic Barrington Estate until 1928 - offering a rare opportunity to own a truly unique slice of local heritage.
Internally, the property is rich with period features, from the characterful front and feature windows to the impressive high ceilings that enhance the sense of space throughout. The accommodation includes two exceptionally large reception rooms, perfect for both family living and entertaining, and a beautifully refitted kitchen to the rear that blends modern comfort with timeless style. A refitted ground floor bathroom, separate utility area, and a walk-in pantry add further practicality and charm.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts three well-proportioned bedrooms, each with their own character and outlook.
Outside, the property sits on a generous, mature plot with an expansive enclosed garden that wraps elegantly around to the front - offering plenty of space for outdoor living and potential landscaping. A garage is located within the grounds, accessed via a gate at the rear that also provide secure off-road parking.
This former schoolmaster's residence is a rare gem - rich in history, thoughtfully updated, and located in one of the area's most desirable villages.
