Poplar Lane, Hurst, RG10

Grapevine Estate Agents are delighted to present a captivating Grade II listed thatched home dating back to the 1600s, set within the highly desirable Berkshire village of Hurst. Rich in charm and steeped in history, the cottage enjoys a peaceful position with open countryside views while remaining ideally placed for local amenities, schools, and transport connections.

Hurst itself is a quintessential English village, known for its rural charm, friendly community, and wealth of history. Nestled between Twyford and Wokingham, the village benefits from excellent access to both countryside and commuter links. Twyford station, just a short drive away, offers direct services to London Paddington and is now part of the Elizabeth Line, making travel into the capital and across the Thames Valley exceptionally convenient. Families are well-served by the highly regarded St. Nicholas Primary School in the village, with a choice of secondary schools in nearby Wokingham and Reading. The surrounding area also offers countryside walks, cosy pubs, and a strong sense of village life.

The cottage itself retains a wealth of original character, from exposed beams, a traditional fireplace, to its distinctive thatched roofline. The ground floor is arranged around a welcoming entrance hall with a cloakroom. The farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with butler sink, tiled splashbacks, and views over the garden, provides the heart of the home. A separate study offers the perfect space for home working, while the dining room with its beamed ceiling is ideal for entertaining. The generously proportioned living room, with a feature fireplace and French doors leading out onto the patio, provides a perfect setting for family life.

Upstairs, there are three well-presented bedrooms, including two doubles, alongside a family bathroom with a charming roll-top bath and countryside views through the cottage windows.

Set within approximately 0.35 acres, the gardens are a particular feature of this home. Mature hedges provide privacy, while lawns, patios, and colourful planting create a delightful setting for outdoor living. A dedicated entertaining area, with summer house and covered gazebo, is perfectly designed for gatherings. Additional outbuildings include a double garage and stables.

A rare opportunity to purchase a home of great historical significance in a sought-after village. Combining period charm with practical amenities, it offers a unique lifestyle for those seeking a character home in a rural yet well-connected setting.
