Piddington Road, Ludgershall, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18

A picturesque 18th-century detached thatched cottage, rich in period charm, complete with stables and a paddock.

** OFFERED WITH NO ONWARD CHAIN **

This enchanting country home is brimming with character, from its newly re-thatched roof and white rendered exterior to its beautifully preserved period features. It offers a rare opportunity to enjoy peaceful village life in a quintessential English cottage with equestrian potential.

Approached via a gravel driveway, double five-bar gates open to a generous parking area at the front of the home. A thatched porch frames the entrance, hinting at the charm that continues throughout.

Inside, the sitting room showcases exposed timber beams and a handsome brick fireplace with a wood-burning stove — perfect for cosy evenings. An additional reception room to the right offers similar period details and features a traditional oak staircase leading to the upper floor.

The heart of the home is a delightful kitchen/dining room with a vaulted ceiling, ample country-style cabinetry, and space for a table, ideal for relaxed family meals or weekend entertaining. This room enjoys wonderful views over the garden and paddock, creating a lovely backdrop for day-to-day living.

A well-appointed ground-floor bathroom features Italian-style tiled flooring and a classic roll-top bath, adding to the home’s charm and comfort.

Upstairs, there are three bedrooms, one of which benefits from its own WC. While there is some head height restriction, the rooms are full of character, with exposed beams and views across the gardens.

The private garden wraps around the house and is mainly laid to lawn, interspersed with mature trees and shrubs. Surrounded by natural hedging, it provides a tranquil and secluded setting ideal for al fresco dining, barbecues, or simply unwinding in the fresh air.

To the side, gated access leads to the enclosed rear paddock — a rare asset for a village property. At the far end are stables with power and lighting, offering excellent facilities for those with horses or other livestock. Additional outbuildings and kennels may also be available by separate negotiation.

This is a unique chance to own a character-filled cottage with land, in a truly peaceful and picturesque location.
