A delightful 5 bedroom period cottage, in first class order throughout, set on a peaceful semi-rural residential lane with surrounding farmland mainly owned by Englefield Estate, and open lightly wooded views to the rear over Theale golf course.
Bryar Cottage has a first-class combination of old and new, it is a 16th century Grade II listed cottage, with good ceiling heights throughout. Sympathetically and meticulously restored with the recent addition of a fine double garage which has a garden sitting room to the rear with bi-fold doors giving access to the sun terrace and rear gardens.

• One wall to the interior of the kitchen/breakfast room shows one of the finest examples of the original wattle and daub that we have seen of recent years
• Garden sitting room has bi-fold doors giving access to the sun terrace and rear gardens, underfloor heating and a sink unit with hot and cold-water supply
• The ceiling heights throughout are generally high, most unusual for a cottage of this period; quite obviously in the past the ground floors have been lowered
• All three main reception rooms retain very pretty features of the period; ceiling and wall beams, the drawing room has an inglenook fireplace with bread ovens, a large open decorative fireplace with Bessemer beam across, the dining room has a fireplace presently fitted with a wood burning stove

• The family bathroom has been totally refitted to a very high standard, to include a shower with wood effect ceramic tiling to shower area and floor, and a free-standing bath
• The décor throughout is simple yet elegant
